Keyboard Shortcuts



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:



GENERAL SHORTCUTS



ALT- F4 - Quit a program / Shut down

ALT-TAB - Hold down the ALT key and hit tab to cycle through open windows.

CTL-ESCAPE - Display the Start menu

SHIFT - TAB - tab backwards through a form

CTRL - X - Cut

CTRL - C - Copy

CTRL - V - Paste

F1 - Help menu

CTRL - Z - Undo

SHIFT & Restart - To restart just windows and not your whole computer, hold down the shift key when you click the OK button on the shutdown screen. Saves lots of time. (not for XP)

CRTL-TAB - Navigate tabs on a tabbed screen



FILE & DESKTOP SHORTCUTS



Hold SHIFT while inserting a CD - Prevents the CD from "autorunning"

If an item is selected:

CTRL while dragging a file - Copies the file

CTRL - SHIFT while dragging a file - Creates a shortcut to the file

SHIFT - DELETE - Deletes an item without sending it to the recycle bin.

ALT-ENTER - Display a file's properties.

F2 - To rename the file

In Windows Explorer:

LEFT ARROW - Collapse the current selection if it is expanded

NUM LOCK-MINUS SIGN (-) - Collapse the selected folder

RIGHT ARROW - Expand the current selection if it is collapsed -Or- Select the first subfolder

NUM LOCK- * Expand all folders below the current selection

NUM LOCK- PLUS SIGN (+) - Expand the selected folder

F6 - Switch between left and right panes

In My Computer:

BACKSPACE - View the folder one level up

ALT- RIGHT ARROW - Move forward to a previous view

ALT- LEFT ARROW -Move backward to a previous view



INTERNET BROWSER SHORTCUTS



For Internet Explorer 6 and Netscape 7 (may work in older versions)

Open History Window Ctrl+H

Reload Ctrl+R

Back (Previous Page) Alt+Left Arrow or Alt+Backspace

Forward (Next Page) Alt+Right Arrow

Stop Esc

Home Alt+Home

Go to Bottom of Page End

Go to Top of Page Home

New Window Ctrl+N

Close WIndow Ctrl+W

Go Up one Line Up Arrow

Go Down One Line Down Arrow

Full Screen (toggle) F11

Find on Page Ctrl+F

Add Current Page to Favorites Ctrl+D



Print Current Page

or Active Frame Ctrl+P



Organize Favorites (IE)/

Manage Bookmarks (NS)

Ctrl+B

Maximize a Window Alt+Space+x

Minimize a window Alt+Space+N

Scroll page up Alt+Up Arrow

Scroll page down Alt+Down Arrow



Internet Explorer ONLY



Open Favorites Bar Ctrl+I

Select text in address bar Alt+D



Force Reload (not from cache) Ctrl+F5



A faster way to type in addresses with IE is to just type in the name of the site:

worldstart

and hit CTRL + Enter. The "http://www. " and ".com" will be added for you!

Netscape ONLY

Open / Close Sidebar Panel (toggle) F9

Select text in Location Bar Ctrl+L

Force Reload (not from Cache) Ctrl+Shift+R

Zoom Text Smaller Ctrl+- (minus)

Zoom text larger Ctrl+= (plus sign)





WINDOWS KEY SHORTCUTS



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.



ARROW TRICKS



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+Home . If you want to get to the end, click Ctrl+End.



Hey, that's not all!

This little trick works on more than just folders. If you use the Home 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.

Actually there are many shortcuts and if you want to use the keyboard as your mouse, you can use MouseKeys. To activate mouse keys, go to Control Panel -> Accessibility options -> Mouse -> Click use mousekeys. ( Try pressing F1 and get help from Windows help center if you didint understand). You can use arrows on numbers on number pad on keyboard as pointers.



Other shortcuts which you can use even if mouse is there for faster operations are:

1. To shift between windows ALT+TAB

2. To shift between tabs of same window CNTL+TAB

3. To close a window ALT+F4

4. To close a tag CNTL+F4

5. To go to next field on same page use TAB

6. To rename a file press F2



There are many more, let me know if you need them.

You can use the tab key to move from button to button or icon to icon, and the Enter key is like a left mouse click. Ctrl+Esc will bring up the Start menu and you can use the up, down left and right arrow keys to move through it.
