Hello reader,
In this article I will explain you 20 most common keyboard shortcuts that everyone knows. Yes everyone but if in an exceptional case you didn’t know about them please write down them in a notebook or copy-paste them in your notepad for your future reference.
By using these keyboard shortcuts in your daily operations you can save from 200 to 2000 mouse clicks in only single day. This is very important because some computer users notice that after a regular use of mouse in computer operations there is a nagging pain in their right forearm.
Ok let start with 10 key-combinations that are very commonly used in MS-window’s and programs compatible with it...
CTRL + C: This combination is used to COPY the content/text selected.
CTRL + A: This one is very useful because it allows Selecting all the content of a particular window opened in window Operating System.
CTRL + D: By using this shortcut you can DELETE all the selected items/content/text
CTRL + X: This is used to CUT the selected content.
CTRL + V: This is used for PASTING a content that was previously copied/cutted.
CTRL + Z: This one is also very useful because it allows you to UNDO any step you did wrongly or mistakenly during any operation.
CTRL + B: It is used for BOLDING any text selected.
CTRL + U: It is used for UNDERLINING any text selected.
CTRL + I: It is used for making any selected text ITALIC.
CTRL + R: This shortcut is a browser specific key combination, by using this command in mostly browser's window in witch you are surfing it will refresh/reload that particular window.
Now in the next part i will show you 10 keyboard shortcuts that are only general keyboard commands...
F10: It activates menu bar options.
SHIFT+F10 Opens a shortcut menu for the selected item (this is the same as right-clicking an object.
CTRL+ESC: Opens the Start menu (use the ARROW keys to select an item).
CTRL+ESC or ESC: Selects the Start button (press TAB to select the taskbar, or press SHIFT+F10 for a context menu).
CTRL+SHIFT+ESC: Opens Windows Task Manager.
ALT+DOWN ARROW: Opens a drop-down list box.
ALT+TAB: Switch to another running program (hold down the ALT key and then press the TAB key to view the task-switching window).
SHIFT: Press and hold down the SHIFT key while you insert a CD-ROM to bypass the automatic-run feature.
ALT+SPACE: Displays the main window's System menu (from the System menu, you can restore, move, resize, minimize, maximize, or close the window).
F1: This key is very helpful because it will open help manual for every opened window of windows explorer or of a program installed on MS-windows. This is very important command that is why i am giving you an example for only this command.
E.g.- let take a example of notepad, because it is obviously that if you are using windows operating system [mainly window xp, vista or 7] you are using notepad or something like that for storing your text documents. open notepad then click F1 and a popup window opens showing help manuals related to notepad[in this example].
