Command Prompt is one of the extremely useful tools on the Windows operating system. This tool allows users to access all commands that users cannot access in other ways.
In essence, the Windows Command Prompt is based on the use of many keyboards, including handy keyboard shortcuts.
1. Shortcuts open and close Command Prompt
Here are some ways to open or close the Command Prompt with keyboard shortcuts:
- Press Windows (or Windows + R) then enter CMD in the Run command window: Open Command Prompt in normal mode.
- Press Windows + X then press C: Open Command Prompt in normal mode (new shortcut on Windows 10).
- Press Windows + X, then press A: Open Command Prompt under Admin (new shortcut on Windows 10).
- Alt + F4 (or enter exit into the Command Prompt window): Close Command Prompt.
- Alt + Enter: Switch from full screen mode to window mode.
2. Shortcut scrolling on Command Prompt

Home / End key: Move the prompt to the beginning / end of the current line.
Ctrl + ← / →: Move the prompt to the beginning or end of the previous word in the current line.
Ctrl + ↑ / ↓: Scroll pages up or down without moving the prompt.
Ctrl + M: access or exit Mark Mode (marker mode). When in Mark Mode you can use the 4 keys ↑ / ↓, ← / → to move the cursor around the window. Note that you can use the ← / → key to move the prompt, although Mark Mode is on or off.
