There are a ton of threads and info on this already. You'll need to come up with a more creative answer if 'making money' is really your only reasoning.
Make up a good story and sell it to the interviewers. Most people can see through bullshit so make sure you practice and can answer follow up questions.
Look your interviewer dead in the the eyes and say "I heard I will be called a freak in the sheets". Then Rattle off at least 3 hotkeys . 60% of the time it works all the time .
I've fallen hard into the 40%. I'm 0/7 in interviews. Odds are in my favor now though... I think my issue was I didn't know any hotkeys. I googled it though so crtl + z is my next answer.
THE CAPSLOCK KEY IS ALSO A REALLY HELPFUL HOTKEY TO HELP MAKE EVERYTHING CAPITALIZED.
And F1.... I use that hotkey often
Or you can just hold SHIFT like a back office heathen
"cAuSe I LiKe BeInG pOuNdEd iN tHe AsS" should do.
