All functions of a ribbon can also be accessed via the keyboard. The Alt-key must be kept pressed for this purpose followed by pressing the letter or letter combination assigned to the desired function. The letters are shown in the menu when the Alt-key is pressed. These are no shortcuts in the conventional sense but rather represent a keyboard-based menu control. In most cases, a sequence of buttons must therefore be pressed.

To facilitate more efficient working, corresponding shortcuts are available for frequently required actions.
Keyboard short cuts are used to execute commands more efficiently inside the application. Windows standard keyboard commands as well as some TiCon-specific keyboard short cuts are available to the user.
