KEY BOARD SHORTCUTS

What is the allure of keyboard shortcuts? Do they really save time? Why

bother since my mouse is permanently attached to my hand?

I like to use keyboard shortcuts, especially if someone is watching me,

because they make me look like a pro. With just a few key strokes I can

leave a mouser spinning his wheel! Whatever your motivation, here's a big

list of keyboard shortcuts:

GENERAL SHORTCUTS

ALT- F4 - Quit a program / Shut down

ALT-TAB - Hold down the ALT key and hit tab to cycle through open windows.

CTL-ESCAPE - Display the Start menu

SHIFT - TAB - tab backwards through a form

CTRL - X - Cut

CTRL - C - Copy

CTRL - V - Paste

F1 - Help menu

CTRL - Z - Undo

SHIFT & Restart - To restart just windows and not your whole computer, hold

down the shift key when you click the OK button on the shutdown screen.

Saves lots of time. (not for XP)

CRTL-TAB - Navigate tabs on a tabbed screen

FILE & DESKTOP SHORTCUTS

Hold SHIFT while inserting a CD - Prevents the CD from "autorunning"

If an item is selected:

CTRL while dragging a file - Copies the file

CTRL - SHIFT while dragging a file - Creates a shortcut to the file

SHIFT - DELETE - Deletes an item without sending it to the recycle bin.

ALT-ENTER - Display a file's properties.

F2 - To rename the file

In Windows Explorer:

LEFT ARROW - Collapse the current selection if it is expanded

NUM LOCK-MINUS SIGN - Collapse the selected folder

RIGHT ARROW - Expand the current selection if it is collapsed -Or- Select

the first subfolder

NUM LOCK- * Expand all folders below the current selection

NUM LOCK- PLUS SIGN - Expand the selected folder

F6 - Switch between left and right panes

In My Computer:

BACKSPACE - View the folder one level up

ALT- RIGHT ARROW - Move forward to a previous view

ALT- LEFT ARROW -Move backward to a previous view

INTERNET BROWSER SHORTCUTS

Cache)

WINDOWS KEY SHORTCUTS

The Windows key can be used in conjunction with other keys to act as a

keyboard shortcut for faster access to menu commands. Now, while the Alt

key tends to open program menus (ex: Alt+F opens the File menu and Alt+E

opens the Edit menu) and the Ctrl key performs actual operations (ex:

Ctrl+C will copy and Ctrl+V will paste), the Windows key will open various

Windows tools...

Win key + R will open the Start menu's Run box

Win key + F will open the Start menu's Find window

Win key + E will quickly launch Explorer

Win key + Pause/Break will open the System Properties window

Win key + M will Minimize all windows

Win key + Shift + M will undo Minimize all windows

Win key + D will switch between minimizing all open programs and showing

them all

Win key + Tab will cycle through items on the taskbar

Win key by itself will open the Start menu

You can also open programs or folders on your desktop by pressing the

Windows key + the first letter of the program/folder/shortcut + Enter .

Sounds kinda tedious, but if you're in a bind with your mouse, it can come

in quite handy.

ARROW TRICKS

Here's a cool little arrow trick to try with word processing programs. Next

time you're using your arrow keys to go from one area of a sentence to

another (left and right arrows), hold down your CTRL key. Instead of moving

one space at a time, you'll go one word at a time.

If you're using the up and down arrows to go from line to line, holding

down the CTRL key will make your cursor jump from paragraph to paragraph

(well, from carriage return to carriage return anyway).

One last thing, if you hold down the SHIFT key while you do this (i.e. hold

down SHIFT + CTRL at the same time), you select text as you arrow along.

I've tested this in MS Word and Wordpad, but it *should* work no matter

what word processing program you use.

HOME / END KEY FUN

Do you ever find yourself scrolling through a huge folder ? Well, if you

need to get to the beginning or the end quickly, just press Ctrl+Home . If

you want to get to the end, click Ctrl+End.

Hey, that's not all!

This little trick works on more than just folders. If you use the Home key

in a word processor, it goes to the beginning of the line you're currently

working on. If you hit the END key, it should head to the end of the

current line. If you pair Home & End up with the Ctrl key in a word

processor, you will be whisked away to the beginning or end of the

document. Again, this should work, but it depends on your word processor.

Speedup your work by using keyboards more and mouse less.
