Remember to note keyboard shortcuts in the Google Drive toolbar dropdown menus

Work a little more efficiently by taking note of the keyboard shortcuts provided in the GoogleDrive toolbar dropdown menus.
Creating files for our Numeracy unit on Volume and Capacity had me continuously using Superscript. Superscript allows you to type a smaller number, symbol or letter that is set slightly above the main text. For example, you use Superscript to type the 3 in cm3.
In Google Drive Files, like in most editors, you can find the Superscript feature fairly easily. However, going to the toolbar, then clicking Format > Superscript is a little inconvenient. Google Drive provides the keyboard shortcuts to commonly used features on the right hand side of toolbar dropdown menus. As you can see in the above image the keyboard shortcut for changing to Superscript is very convenient. It is 'CMD'+'.' . I worked for nearly and hour, continuously chopping between Superscript and normal text style by going to the Format tab. The whole time I failed to notice the shortcut, but once I did typing cm3 became much less frustrating.
