Potentially Useful Keyboard Shortcuts


At this point, many users have heard of and probably used a keyboard shortcut or two. The ability to use shortcuts may be more difficult to some but for many learning to use them can help speed up some of the work they do and help them be more efficient in some of their work.


Shortcuts don't necessarily work within every program, but many are so common that they are programed to work in most applications that are frequently used by a typical user.


Some examples of shortcuts that may help you include:


1.   Ctrl + C: Copy

2.   Ctrl + X: Cut

3.   Ctrl + V: Paste

4.   Ctrl + Z: Undo

5.   Ctrl + Y: Redo

8.   Ctrl + A: Select All

9.   Ctrl + F: Find

10. Ctrl + P: Print

11. Ctrl + B: Bold

12. Ctrl + I: Italicize

13. Ctrl + U: Underline

14. Ctrl + N: New (document, file, etc.)

15. Ctrl + O: Open

16. Ctrl + W: Close

17. Ctrl + K: Insert Hyperlink

18. Alt + Tab: Switch between open applications

19. Ctrl + Shift + T: Reopen the last closed tab

20. Ctrl + Home: Move to the beginning of a document

22. F5: Refresh
