Abstract
Some software packages have the same purpose, but different operation methods. Users typically choose software that they find easier to operate. However, this is not always the case, and users may be confused by software operations in similar software packages. This study focuses on software shortcut keys. End users can operate software efficiently when they learn shortcut keys because they are independent of GUIs. Herein a learning operation support system is proposed to illustrate the difference in shortcut key functions between software packages. This system analyzes software manuals and source codes to extract shortcut key combinations and functions, and the results are color-coded displays of shortcut key combinations that carry out the same function by software package.
