KEYBOARD SHORT-CUTS FOR WINDOWS (AGAIN)

Do you readers remember this post published Sunday October 4, 2009?

I have recently been asked by several of my friends whom I have been helping resolve problems with their computers about "key board short cuts".

I thought that probably many of you did not read this post, which I consider a must to learn for those of you who want to be proficient when working with your machines. Therefore here it comes again. Do not ignore, for this is good stuff easy to learn and so helpful to you all:

"Here are some good and easy to remember keyboard short-cuts that work in most windows related programs.

They are easy to remember, (especially those that you use more regularly), and as the title says, very fast and easy to use:

SAVE THE CURRENT DOCUMENT: Ctrl-S
SELECT THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT : Ctrl-A (this is useful if you want to copy and paste the document).
TURN ITALICS "ON" , "OFF' : Ctrl-I
TURN BOLD "ON" , "OFF" : Ctrl-B
TURN UNDERLINING "ON" , "OFF" : Ctrl-U

TOGGLE FULL SCREEN MODE
"ON" OR "OFF" IN IE AND OTHERS: F-11
GO TO YOUR HOME PAGE: : Alt-Home
REFRESH WEB PAGE: : Ctrl-F5

There are many more keyboard short-cuts that you can use, however, remembering them all is "kinda" hard to do. I though that the above cover most of the actions that we all need when using "WORD", "EXCEL" Internet Browsers, (IE, Firefox and others); once you start using them, you'll find out that it all comes naturally when you are working in your computer."


Happy computing,

May I add another shortcut key in Windows? "Ctrl+Tab" will switch one window to another window.
