AlphaType

YOUR KEYBOARD. MORE POSSIBILITIES.

Make shortcuts something you do.

Move from recognising a shortcut to recalling it when you need it. AlphaType gives you a task, lets you practise the combination, and responds immediately so you can learn through repetition.

Typing practice is available in English. Shortcut lessons and main navigation currently use German.

Practise, get feedback, repeat

Choose Windows or macOS and a lesson category. Focus the exercise area with Tab, perform the requested combination, and check the result. Use a hint or reveal the answer, then try another task.

Keep browser commands safe

Some combinations belong to the browser or operating system. For protected commands, type key names separated by spaces and press Enter, or use the on-screen keys. Tab leaves the capture area so you can reach other controls.

Learn the keys on your keyboard

Ctrl and Strg refer to the same Windows modifier. Mac lessons use Command and Option where appropriate. Choose the visual keyboard layout that matches your device; Windows and Mac commands are not always interchangeable.

Choose a useful starting point

Practise Windows system shortcuts, Mac essentials or Excel commands. The trainer and existing lesson instructions currently use German. Spoken tasks and results can be enabled in the voice controls.

* Available layouts depend on language and system. Dvorak is currently offered for English on macOS. Explore keyboard layouts →
