Key commands
Key commands allow you to enter a keystroke with your voice, as if you had typed that key manually on your
keyboard.
Key commands allow you to use keyboard shortcuts you already know to perform tasks, whether or not there a
separate Dragon command for that task. For example, if you want to create a new document in any application, you
can say "New file" or you can say "Press the key combo Command N."
How to say a key command
l Say "Press the key <KEYNAME>" to press a single key.
Example: "Press the key Escape."
l Say "Press the key <MODIFIER-KEYNAME>." to press a key combination.
Example: "Press the key Command S."
