Keyboard Shortcuts in Microsoft Test Manager

Sometimes when using Microsoft Test Manager (MTM), you want to quickly zip around the application, without using the mouse. We’ve enabled this in MTM with a number of keyboard shortcuts:

Area	Shortcut
Backwards	Alt+Left, Back Key (multimedia keyboards), and Back button on the mouse
Forwards	Alt+Right, Forward Key (multimedia keyboards), and Forward button on the mouse
Home	Home Key (multimedia keyboards)
Center Switcher	Ctrl+~
Center	Ctrl+1 through to Ctrl+0 (the first 10 centers, in the order they appear on the screen)
Action	Ctrl+Shift+1 through to Ctrl+Shift+0 (the first 10 actions, in the order they appear on the screen)
New Work Item	Ctrl+N
Open Items	Ctrl+O, or the Open Key (multimedia keyboards)
Save	Ctrl+S
Refresh	F5, or the refresh key (multimedia keyboards)
Help	F1
Close	Ctrl+F4, or Ctrl+W
Go to work item	Ctrl+G

  For the 'Save &Close'  button, use the 'ctrl+S+W' at the same time.
