The progression

Every deck is graded 1 to 7: level 1 is the reflex core, the top level is where the specialists live. One move from each, so you can see how far it goes.

  1. Level 13 moves

    Make the selected words bold

    macCmd+BwinCtrl+B

    The most-reached-for format; your hand should never leave the text to find it.

    …and 2 more at this level

  2. Level 211 moves

    Left-align the current paragraph

    macCmd+LwinCtrl+L

    The alignment quartet is one hand shape away from a tidy page.

    …and 10 more at this level

  3. Level 322 moves

    Grow the font to the next size on the ribbon list

    macCmd+Shift+>winCtrl+Shift+>

    Jumps 11 to 12 to 14 the way the size dropdown does, without opening it.

    …and 21 more at this level

  4. Level 413 moves

    Nudge the font up exactly one point

    macCmd+]winCtrl+]

    Point-by-point control the ribbon's size list won't give you.

    …and 12 more at this level

  5. Level 510 moves

    Apply a double underline to a total figure

    macCmd+Shift+DwinCtrl+Shift+D

    The accountant's ruled-off total, without drawing a border by hand.

    …and 9 more at this level

  6. Level 69 moves

    Underline the words but leave the spaces between them un-underlined

    macCmd+Shift+WwinCtrl+Shift+W

    The only clean way to underline words without dragging the line through the gaps.

    …and 8 more at this level

  7. Level 71 move

    Shrink an Extend Selection by one unit

    Shift+F8

    The undo for an over-eager F8, backing the selection off one step.

How graduation works. Drill until every move in the deck holds at ≥95% first-try, under 800ms median, across two separate days. Then the deck is done — and you get a certificate stating exactly that, plus a LinkedIn credential in one click.
