Using keyboard shortcuts
can greatly increase your productivity, reduce repetitive strain, and help keep
you focused. For example, highlighting text with the keyboard and pressing Ctrl
+ C is much faster than taking your hand from the keyboard, highlighting the
text using the mouse, clicking copy from the file menu, and then putting your
hand back in place on the keyboard. Below are our top 10 keyboard shortcuts we recommend everyone memorize and use.
Ctrl + C or Ctrl + Insert
Copy the
highlighted text or selected item.
Ctrl + V or Shift + Insert
Ctrl + Z and Ctrl + Y
Undo any
change. For example, if you cut text, pressing this will undo it. This
can also often be pressed multiple times to undo multiple changes.
Pressing Ctrl + Y would
redo the undo.
Ctrl + F
Open the Find in any program. This includes your Internet browser to find text on the current page.
Alt + Tab or Alt + Esc
Quickly switch between open programs
moving forward.
Tip: Press
Ctrl + Tab to switch between tabs in a program.
Tip: Adding
the Shift key to Alt + Tab or Ctrl +
Tab will move backwards. For example, if you are pressing Alt + Tab and pass
the program you want to switch to, press Alt + Shift + Tab to move backwards
to that program.
Tip:
Windows Vista and 7 users can also press the
Windows Key + Tab to switch through
open programs in a full screenshot of the Window.
Ctrl + Back space and Ctrl + Left or Right arrow
Pressing Ctrl +
Backspace will delete a full word at
a time instead of a single character.
Holding down the Ctrl key while pressing the left or right arrow will
move the cursor one word at a time instead of one character at a time.
If you wanted to highlight one word at a time you can hold down Ctrl +
Shift and then press the left or right arrow key to move one word at a
time in that direction while highlighting each word.
Ctrl + S
While working on a document or other file in almost every
program pressing Ctrl + S will save that file. This shortcut key should be
used frequently anytime you're working on anything important.
Ctrl + Home or Ctrl + End
Move the cursor to the beginning or end of a document.
Ctrl + P
Print
the page being viewed. For example, the document in Microsoft Word or the
web page in your Internet browser.
Page Up, Space bar, and Page Down
Pressing
either the page up or page down key will move that page one page at a
time in that direction. When browsing the Internet pressing the space
bar will also move the page down one page at a time.
If you press Shift and the Space bar the page will go up a page at a
time
