“At your fingertips”

Hi Strands fans. I breezed through today's puzzle, in part because I play at my desktop computer before writing it up. In other words, the KEYBOARD is literally at my fingertips, in a way it won't be for you if you play from the comfort of your smartphone.
I saw the spangram of KEYBOARD right away, spelt across the middle of the board. I was immediately away with SHIFT along the right-hand side, and CONTROL splitting the top half in two. That division allowed me to get DELETE above it and ENTER to its right to complete the top segment.
Three words were left in the lower area. I saw ESCAPE spelt backwards along the bottom of the grid, followed by SPACE just below the spangram. That left just RETURN to complete the puzzle in what may have been record time for me.
