Why one should not use Ctrl+ Alt+ as a shortcut Why Ctrl+ ScrollLock is the same as escape I've used it in VM/CMS, OS/2, and MSDos / Windows. Used originally in the MVS/ESA, VM/CMS, OS/400, OS/2 and Microsoft Windows operating systems, parts of the CUA standard are now implemented in programs for other operating systems, including variants of Unix. It was developed by IBM and first published in 1987 as part of their Systems Application Architecture. In the last 25 years the keys been overloaded an nearly all other keys, if not all, are used by applications.Īs to why they do what they do - Common User Access (CUA) is a standard for user interfaces to operating systems and computer programs. EDIT Ctrl+Esc is the start menu access key for keyboards without a Winkey. Microsoft introduced two Windows keys and one Context menu key on their keyboards. The release of Windows 95 and the start menu meant a key was needed for the start menu. ( Shift+ F10 introduced in Office 6 as Win 3.11 had no context menus). The keys for theseįunctions are F10 for menu access and Shift+ F10 for context menu. ![]() These did not have a Windows key or a Context menu key. First the IBM 84 key keyboard then the 101 key keyboard.
