Computer Keyboard Shortcuts - My Third Set of 10 to Share

With the boys gone on a vacation camping trip to the coast, my week has been more quiet than usual so therefore I have not been posting here. I have made entries in my other blogs and am busy with the various flora and fauna that abounds on our property.

I decided to add another entry to the Keyboard shortcuts. So here is the next set of 10:

My third set of 10 shortcuts:
1. New page                                                                = Ctrl n
2. Home                                                                      = Goes to beginning of current line.
3. Goes to beginning of document                                 = Ctrl + Home
4. Goes to end of current line                                        = End
5. Goes to end of document                                          = Ctrl + End
6. Highlights from current position to beginning of line     = Shift + Home
7. Highlights from current position to end of line             = Shift + End
8. Moves one word to the left at a time                          = Ctrl + Left arrow

Computer Keyboard Shortcuts - My First 10 to Share

No matter when we use them, shortcuts make our lives easier and save us time.

After our last CHES meeting Dani and I talked about sharing shortcuts at the next meeting. I use them everyday and know how useful they are so I was game.

I got home and started doing research to see what was out there and had to take a break to get over the TMI feeling I was getting, it was making my head hurt.

So I decided to start with what I use the most. So at least once a week I will try to ad shortcuts and techie tips to make computer use easier.
Learning a few at a time will get you up and running, soon people will think you are a computer whiz!!

My Top Ten Shortcuts:

1. Undo an action                    = ctrl z
2. Redo an action                    = ctrl y
3. Copy selected item              = ctrl c
4. Cut selected item                 = ctrl x
