Are you feeling overwhelmed with trying to get work done in time? This becomes especially important in the professional world when you’re facing strict deadlines. Using keyboard shortcuts when working with Adobe seriously helps you pick up the pace.

Here are some important shortcuts to know:

Ctrl + Z is undo (you’ll use this one a ton!!)
Ctrl + Shift + Z is redo (use this and undo to decide between options quickly)
Ctrl + C is copy
Ctrl+ V is paste
Shift + O is the artboard tool
P is the pen tool
B is the brush tool

Please note that these are for Windows. Mac users be aware that shortcuts may vary. I’m not super familiar with Mac. Refer to the link below for more shortcuts to memorize:
