Hot keys, also known as keyboard shortcuts, are an efficient way to make navigation on a computer simpler and quicker. You can use keyboard shortcuts in place of using your mouse and clicking on the desired action. Various keyboard shortcuts exist that you can use to perform actions and create symbols, such as superscripts. Word-processing programs, such as Microsoft Word, allow you to use a keyboard shortcut to create a superscript.
