Keyboard actions and access

Term	Usage
keyboard shortcut, accelerator key, fast key, hot key, quick key, speed key	In general, use keyboard shortcut to describe a combination of keystrokes used to perform a task. Example Alt+Ctrl+S Don't use accelerator key, fast key, hot key, quick key, or speed key.
access key	Don't use in content for a general audience. Use keyboard shortcut instead. In content for developers or content about customizing the UI, it's OK to distinguish between an access key and a shortcut key. An access key is a letter or number that users select to access UI controls that have text labels. For example, the F in Alt+F. A shortcut key is a key or key combination that users select to perform a common action. For example, Ctrl+V. If you use these terms, explain the difference.
Key Tip	In general, don't use in content for a general audience. Use keyboard shortcut instead. In content teaching basic skills or content for a technical audience, it's OK to use Key Tip to refer to the letter or number that appears in the ribbon when the Alt key is pressed.
key combination	Don't use in content for a general audience. Use keyboard shortcut instead. In content for a technical audience, it's OK to distinguish between a key combination (two or more keys selected simultaneously) and a key sequence (two or more keys selected sequentially). If you use these terms, explain the difference.
key sequence	Don't use in content for a general audience. Use keyboard shortcut instead. In content for a technical audience, it's OK to distinguish between a key sequence (two or more keys selected sequentially) and a key combination (two or more keys selected simultaneously).

keypad	Use numeric keypad on the first mention. Don't use keypad by itself unless the context has been established and there's no possibility the customer will confuse the keypad with the keyboard. When in doubt, continue to use numeric keypad. In general, don't distinguish between the keyboard and the numeric keypad. When the customer can select two keys that look the same, direct the customer to the correct key. Example Select the Minus sign on the numeric keypad, not the Hyphen key on the keyboard.
keystroke, keypress	Don't use keypress. Use keystroke instead.
select, press, depress, hit, strike, use	Use select to describe pressing a key on a physical or on-screen keyboard. Don't use press, depress, hit, or strike. Don't use depressed to describe an indented toolbar button unless you have no other choice. Use use when select might be confusing, such as when referring to the arrow keys or function keys and select might make customers think that they need to select all the arrow keys simultaneously. Example Use the arrow keys to move around the text. Use use when multiple platform or peripheral choices initiate the same action or actions within a program. Example Use the controls on your keyboard or controller to run through the obstacle course. Be specific when teaching beginning skills. Example To run through the obstacle course, select the Spacebar on the keyboard or pull the right trigger on the Xbox controller. Consider using a table to present instructions that have more than two alternatives. Use select and hold only if a delay is built into the software or hardware interaction. Don't use select and hold when referring to a mouse button unless you're teaching beginning skills. See alsoDescribing interactions with UI, Mouse and mouse interaction term collection

Special character names

Becausespecial character names could be confused with an action (such as+) or be difficult to see, always spell out the following specialcharacter names: Plus sign, Minus sign, Hyphen, Period, and Comma.

To avoid confusion, it's OK to add the character in parentheses after spelling out the name.
Example
Plus sign (+)

Use discretion. This might not be necessary for commonly used characters, such as the period (.).

To show a key combination that includes punctuation requiring use of the Shift key, such as the question mark, use Shift and the name or symbol of the shifted key. Using the name of the unshifted key, such as 4 rather than $, could be confusing or even wrong. For example, the ? and / characters aren't shifted keys on every keyboard. Always spell out Plus sign, Minus sign, Hyphen, Period, and Comma.

Examples
Ctrl+Shift+?
Ctrl+Shift+*
Ctrl+Shift+Comma
