Go-getter sorts

Answer:

TYPEAS

Hint:

Think of the keyboard shortcut for someone who’s always eager to take action.

Explanation:

"Go-getter sorts" hints at people who are ambitious or proactive, often called "type A" personalities in psychology. The answer plays on this by taking "type A" and adding an S to make it plural ("sorts"), giving you "TYPEAS." It’s a straightforward definition with a slight twist—turning a common phrase into a plural noun.
