Welcome to DefKey! ‒ defkey

We've founded as a website dedicated for keyboard shortcuts and technology how-tos. Keyboard shortcuts are essential part of desktop programs and while they don't replace mouse, they can make you work much faster.

We definitely aren't first keyboard shortcut web site around but we're probably first to break the keys down, and allow you to browse by shortcut keys. You can click any shortcut key you see on the site to see which programs use it and what for.

We're also probably first to at least aim to become a tech tips and news portal, alongside a keyboard shortcut database. Lastly, DefKey provides almost all content both in English and Turkish. As of May 2019, I created a French version of website, and started to translate shortcuts into French.

As founder of this project, I know I must cut it short: We're glad that you are here, and your presence will help us grow. Thank you!

Who are you?

My name is Zeynel Öztürk and I'm full time news editor on Turkish version of tech outlet CHIP Online since 2010 (update: until the end of 2018). The site is developed by me under ASP.NET MVC, and it's my first project being a web programmer. I'm accustomed to translating program strings much before 2010 by translating WinRAR to Turkish. Probably this is what helped me turning such idea to reality.

Design is done by my brother and me and I've others who help me for the content.
