Using the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard shouldn't be scary. It's quite simple really (e.g. holding "Ctrl" and then pressing "T" = new browser tab!). The very conveniently placed ctrl key makes surfing the web and all kinds of other things much easier.

Suggestion: Try sprinkling just ONE "Ctrl" command into your routine per month (e.g Ctrl + T, then typing "sheet.new"). I trust you'll quickly appreciate how using "Ctrl" quickly simplifies how you control your computer — because it is possible to do anything on a computer without a mouse and the controls!
