There are all kinds of shortcuts that I bet you didn't even realize you had access to on your keyboard! Here are a few common ones: (These are for Windows, not sure if they work for Mac's or any other set up?)
- Alt + Tab (Toggle): This allows you to alternate between programs that you currently have up and running on your computer. Keep pressing Tab to choose.
- Ctrl + N: Opens a new browser window
- Ctrl + W: Close Window
- Ctrl + C: Copy
- Ctrl + X: Cut
- Ctrl + V: Paste
- Ctrl + Z: Undo
- Ctrl + Y: Redo
- Ctrl + B: Bold
- Ctrl + I: Italic
- Ctrl + U: Underline
And here are some you may not have heard of:
- F6 or Alt + D: Selects the address field in your browser, ready for entry
- F2: Rename Files
- F3: Search in your current browser & desktop
- F5: Refresh
- Alt + Enter: Brings up items properties
- Shift + Delete: Deletes item totally, not just to Recycle Bin
- Ctrl + Esc: Gives Start Menu (if you don't have a Windows Key like me)
- Ctrl + F4: Close window within application
- Ctrl + D: Add to Favorites
- Ctrl + F: Find in page
What are some of your favorites???
Also, did you know that you can actually download a program (called AutoHotkey) that allows you to name your own shortcuts? Yep, you can name up to 200 shortcuts! Here's the link:
