Visio Accelerator Keys

Accelerator keys are keys or key combinations that provide a quick way of executing actions without having to move the cursor to the menu bar or toolbar.

Accelerator keys, like toolbars and menu bars, also vary depending on which area of Visio you are currently in.

If you are used to using accelerator keys with other Windows applications, you will find that Visio uses many familiar accelerators. Some Microsoft-standard accelerators which also also work in Visio are:

Ctrl + C Copy to Clipboard
Ctrl + P Print
Ctrl + S Save Document
Ctrl + V Paste from Clipboard
Ctrl + X Cut to Clipboard
