The BIG Keybo ard Shortc ut List

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:

WIND OWS KEY SH OR TCUT S


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.
ARR OW TR ICKS
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 +H ome . If you want to get to the end, click Ctr l+ End .

Hey, that's not all!


This little trick works on more than just folders. If you use the
Ho me 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 keyboard more and mouse less.
