COMPUTER KEYBOARD SHORTCUT KEYS
SHORTCUT KEYS ABCs
Helps give a simpler and snappier technique for exploring and executing orders in the PC programming. Shortcut keys are usually gotten to
by utilizing the Alt key (on IBM perfect PCs), Command key (on Apple
PCs), CTRL key, or SHIFT key related to another key. The true standard for
posting a shortcut is posting the modifier key, and or more image, and
another key. At the end of the day, "CTRL+S" is instructing you to press and
hold the CTRL key, and afterward, press the S key as well.
You can likewise discover the easy shortcuts in well-known projects by searching for underlined letters in their menus. For instance, the document menu picture has an underline on the "F" in File, which implies you can press
the Alt key and "F" key to get to the record menu.
A few programs require the user to press and hold Alt to see the underlined characters. In the picture above, you can see that a portion of the basic highlights, for example, Open (CTRL+O) and Save (CTRL+S), have alternate route keys relegated to them. As you remember easy shortcut keys, you'll notice that numerous applications share them. We have a rundown of the most normally shared ones in the essential PC easy shortcut keys segment.
Below is a list of the commonly used shortcut keys that works with IBM compatible computers. And it would be of great help to you if you could try to memorize as much as you could.
TOP 10 KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW
Below are 10 keyboard short cuts that I recommend everyone to memorize and use.
SHORTCUT KEYS ACTION
CTRL+C OR CTRL+INSERT AND CTRL+X Both CTRL+C and CTRL+INSERT
will copy highlighted text or a selected item. If you want to cut an item instead of copying it, press CTRL+X. This action removes the text or item and stores it in the clipboard for you, rather than copying it to the clipboard while leaving the original behind.
Apple computer users can substitute the CTRL key for the command (CMD) key on their computers. For example, pressing CMD+C copies highlighted text.
CTRL+V OR SHIFT+INSERT Both the CTRL+V and SHIFT+INSERT will paste the text
or object that's stored in the clipboard.
On Apple computers, use Cmd+V instead.
CTRL+Z AND CTRL+Y Pressing CTRL+Z will undo any change. For example, if you cut text, pressing this key combination will undo the cut. These shortcuts can also be pressed multiple times to undo or redo multiple changes.
Pressing CTRL+Y would redo the undo.
On Apple computers, use CMD+Z and CMD+Y to undo and redo.
CTRL+F AND CTRL+G Pressing CTRL+F opens the Find field, which allows you to search the text currently displayed in any program that supports it. For example, CTRL+F can be used in your Internet browser to find text on the current page. Press CTRL+F now to open the Find in your browser and search for "shortcut" to display each time shortcut is mentioned on this page.
On Apple computers, use CMD+F to find.
CTRL+G may be used to repeat a search (from using CTRL+F) in a document or on a web page.
ALT+TAB OR CTRL+TAB Pressing ALT+TAB switches between open programs moving forward. For example, if you have your browser window open and
other programs running in the
background press and hold ALT and then press the TAB key to cycle through each open program.
On Apple computers, instead of using the Alt key use the Command (CMD) key. For example, CMD+TAB to switch between open programs.
TIP: Press CTRL+TAB to switch between tabs in a program. For example, if you have multiple tabs open in your Internet browser, press CTRL+TAB to switch between them.
TIP: Adding the Shift key to ALT+TAB or CTRL+TAB moves backward. For example, if you are pressing ALT+TAB and pass the program you want to use, press ALT+SHIFT+TAB to move back to that program.
TIP: Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 10 users can also press the WINDOWS KEY+TAB to switch through open programs in a full screenshot of the window.
CTRL+BACKSPACE AND CTRL+LEFT OR RIGHT ARROW Pressing CTRL+BACKSPACE deletes a full word at a time instead of a single character.
Holding down the CTRL key while pressing the left or right arrow moves the cursor one word at a time instead of one character at a time. If
you want to highlight one word at a time, hold down CTRL+SHIFT, then press the left or right arrow key. Your highlighted selection moves one word at a time in that direction.
CTRL+S While working on a document or another file in almost every program, pressing CTRL+S saves that file. Use this shortcut key frequently if you're working on anything important in case of an error, lost power, or any other issues that causes you to lose any work since the last save.
On Apple computers, use Cmd+S to save a file
CTRL+HOME OR CTRL+END CTRL+HOME moves the cursor to the beginning of the document, and CTRL+END moves the cursor to the end of a document. These shortcuts work with most documents, as well as web pages.
On Apple computers, use the Cmd + up arrow to get to the beginning or Cmd + down arrow to get to the end of a document or text.
CTRL+P CONTROL+P is used to open a print preview of the page or document currently being viewed. For example, press CTRL+P now to view a print preview of this page.
On Apple computers, use Cmd+P to open the print preview.
PAGE UP, SPACEBAR, AND
PAGE DOWN As you may have guessed, pressing
either the page up or page down key moves to the next or previous page. When browsing the Internet, pressing the spacebar moves the scrollbar down a page. Similarly, SHIFT+SPACEBAR moves the scrollbar up one page.
