    When we say 'ctrl', 'alt', 'del' out loud, we don't use the full version of alt.

    Alternate the verb or alternate the adjective

    Maybe a adjective, but not defined like the dictionary defines it. It's defined in programming speak. It is a modifier key (I'm sure there is a grammar joke there somewhere) which is a key on a computer's keyboard that is only used in conjunction with another key. Modifier keys are often used with other keys to perform computer keyboard shortcuts and other commands.

    For example,
    • Alt = Pressing the Alt key alone focuses the computer on the File Menu (if available).
    • Alt+F = Pressing these two keys opens the File Menu in an open program.
    • Alt+F4 = These keys close the open program. To close an open window or tab within a program press Ctrl+F4.
    • Alt+Spacebar = Open the Window menu of the program currently open.
    • Alt+Tab = These keys switch between open programs left-to-right. Pressing Alt+Shift+Tab reverses the order of switching programs.

    Banging your head against a wall burns 150 calories an hour. Maybe not useless if you still need to burn calories. lol
