How do I view Windows 8 calculator shortcut keys?

Question

Basically the subject says it all. Viewing help, doesn't help (ironically) since it shows just some Calculator: Frequently asked questions.

Solution

It's weird that this isn't in the help file, you're right. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Keyboard-shortcuts has a very extensive list of shortcuts for the calculator (as well as other things).

WHat kinds of shortcuts are you trying to perform? Of course the number keys enter numbers, and * / + - = all work as expected. What functions do you want shortcuts to?

[Petr Abdulin]

All the functions of scientific calculator, for example y is a shortcut for exponent, s is sine, etc. I remember most of'em but forgot some.

[Karan]

It's there in Calc's help file in Win7 (F1 / click link, see list); am surprised it's not there in Win8.

[Marcus Chan]

@Karan Ooh, good call! The Windows 8 Keyboard shortcuts help page still has it (start -> type "help" -> hit enter -> search for "shortcuts")

[Karan]

I'm guessing no other answers are required or will be posted, so that extra-lengthy image shouldn't really matter. However if someone objects it can always be deleted.

Edit: I put in the raw html version, figured it's less obnoxious without the CSS

@nixda Thanks :) How'd you get the spaces inserted, by the way?

@MarcusChan If you copy from a Microsoft website, always use Internet Explorer. You will be surprised ;)
