The purpose of the
Shift Ctrl key combination
has already been explained before you have been brought to this page.
Let us look at the picture and watch how easily you can re-arrange the
letters in the
shift
and
ctrl
key so that it slowly forms the word compo shortcut
file.

Take a look at picture 1.
Here we have the Shift and control keys.
‘S-h-i-f-t’
has got 5 letters and ‘c-o-n-t-r-o-l’ has got 7 letters, all together
they make 12 letters.
See equal
number of slots placed in the two blocks beside these keys.

In picture 2 let us slowly rearrange
the letters so that we get our
target compo word which is
shortcut file.
In
picture 3
S, h and t
have already been transferred and the rest of the letters are on the
move.
In
picture 4 all letters have already moved
except the
letter
n.
Now we know that to have a
shortcut file we should first
hold down the
shift + ctrl keys
and
drag
the file.
So let us hold down the
shift +
control key using the only letter left “n”. The letter n can be used as
a clamp to hold together the 2 blocks.
In
Picture 6 we are holding and dragging together.

In picture 7 you finally got what you
expected - a
shortcut
fil.
It is true that
“fil” is
missing the letter
“e”.
But it is quite
enough that
shortcut
fil is enough to remember
shortcut
file.
