All keyboard shortcuts require the users to press two or more keys together or in a specific order. For instance, to ‘undo’ a text, the shortcut is Ctrl + Z and the two keys Ctrl (Control) and Z are to be pressed in that order, i.e. press and hold the Ctrl key, then press the X key, and then release.
