Windows 8 Reader keyboard shortcuts

Windows 8 Reader is an app that lets you read .XPS & PDF files. So, you don't have to install Adobe Acrobat Reader or its updates anymore. Though minimalist & light-weight, it feels like a half-baked product & is inadequately documented.

If you are using Windows 8 Reader on a desktop rather than a tablet, you get things done faster with keyboard shortcuts -

       F8 -  Toggle View Modes (Two Pages, One Page, and Continuous)
Ctrl + R - Rotate
Ctrl + H - Highlight text
Ctrl + +/- - Zoom in/out
Ctrl + P - Print
Ctrl + O - Open
Ctrl + A - Select All
Ctrl + M - View Recently Opened files
Ctrl + G - Jump to a specific page
Ctrl + S  - Save document after highlighting text or adding notes

When you close a file after highlighting some text within it, there is no indicator to let you know it's unsaved.
