Thankfully, there are many keyboard sequences that work for these tasks. Most sequences entail that you press two buttons, and then press a third button after a moment.
So if the keyboard sequence is listed as Alt + S > H, then you must press the Alt and S keys together, let go those two keys and then press the H key.
If you discover a keyboard sequence not listed here, please get in touch with us through our feedback form.
