A keyboard shortcut is a key or combination of keys providing quick access to a particular function within a computer program.

Why do people use keyboard shortcuts?
Keyboard shortcuts help you get things done faster and easier! Essentially, it’s doing actions you may normally do with your mouse with your keyboard instead… (think pressing the space bar when pausing/playing a Netflix show.)

Each Adobe program allows for you to customize your keyboard shortcuts, but for now, here are guides for default shortcuts for various Adobe Programs you may find yourself using!

And now for a quick summary of the difference between closed and open captioning (which is covered at 03:05 in the video).
