In MapInfo Pro you can find a number of keyboard shortcuts or command shortcuts to access specific commands.
For example Ctrl+O will show the Open dialog for you to pick a table, workspace or Excel file to open into MapInfo Pro.
Recently, I just learned two new ones that really will make my day easier:
- Ctrl+W: Unselect. I often need to unselect features that I either have selected by accident or intenionally and having a shortcut for this is just a lot easier to searching for the red unselect command in the interface.
- Alt+Left Arrow: Zoom Previous. Zooming to the previous view with a shortcut commend is also easier and often used by me
In the Tooltips for the controls you can see the shortcut assigned to the controls:

But there are a lot of other keyboard shortcuts in MapInfo Pro. Which is your favorite(s) and why?
PS: Did you know you can create your own keyboard shortcuts with the Command Editor/Keyboard Shortcuts tool in the 64 bit version of MapInfo Pro? If not, have a look at this article: Editing key strokes for certain MapInfo Pro functions
