Keyboard Shortcut Guide: Ctrl + O (Open File Quickly)

Ctrl + O
The Ctrl + O (on Windows) or Command + O (on macOS) shortcut is used to open a file in most applications, including text editors, word processors, and browsers. It provides a quick way to access documents, projects, or media files without navigating through menus.
💡 Pro Tip:
Use Ctrl + O to instantly bring up the file selection dialog. Combine it with Ctrl + N to open a new window and then load a file.
