Today I was helping my father with his computer and used several keyboard shortcuts in the process. These are commonly used but he didn't know them, so I figured some people on PC know them, whereas others can refer to this thread. These are the ones I know but there probably are many, many more! Keep in mind, if you're using Unix/Linux or Apple, then these shortcuts will be different.
Shortcuts for Internet browsers * = if you're using a forum, such as PC, make sure the text area where you type in is not selected. Add bookmark: CTRL + D Moving forward between tabs: CTRL + Tab OR CTRL + PageUp Moving to previous tab: CTRL + Shift + Tab OR CTRL + PageDown View browsing history: CTRL + H Refresh page: CTRL + R *Go to previous page: Delete Open new tab: CTRL + T Close window: CTRL + W Close tab: CTRL + W Quit the program: CTRL + Q Zoom in: CTRL + + (CTRL and +) Zoom out: CTRL + - (CTRL and -) Print: CTRL + P New window: CTRL + N Select all: CTRL + A MS Processor or other applications ** = I've found only a few times I use this, most commonly when I'm archiving a file(s) into a .zip or .rar through IZArk (or WinZip or WinRar), the archived file may not show right away. Select all: CTRL + A Change font: CTRL + D Larger font size: CTRL + Shift + < OR CTRL + ] Small font size: CTRL + Shift + > OR CTRL + [ Underline: CTRL + U Bold: CTRL + B Italicize: CTRL + I Print: CTRL + P Undo: CTRL + Z Save: CTRL + S Save as: CTRL + Shift + S Change paragraph alignment: CTRL + R Change margin: CTRL + T Change between application windows: Windows + Tab OR Alt + Tab (hold down either Windows or Alt and press Tab to change between the windows, then once you found the desired application, let go of both buttons) Superscript: Ctrl + Shift + = Subscript: CTRL + Shift + + OR do the shortcut for superscript twice Go to: CTRL + G Find: CTRL + F Replace: CTRL + H Increase spacing between lines: CTRL + @ (CTRL + 2 will not do this) Decrease spacing between lines: CTRL + ! (CTRL + 1 will not do this) Get shortcuts to scroll between menus: Alt (there will be letter keys above each menu) Go to task manager: CTRL + Alt + Del **Refresh in Windows Explorer: F5 Print preview: CTRL + Alt + I Make a new page in MS Word: CTRL + Enter Preferences: CTRL + ; (this does not work in any Word processor but may work in other applications, such as Dr.Java and possibly Eclipse) |

Thanks--I don't like to use the mouse and always try to find the keystroke shortcuts. here are two more--
1) type the name of the site you want to go to into the address box-- eg. "google". then CTRL ENTER. The rest of the address will automatically fill in. 2) To go to previous page - press "BackSpace" key. (this will work most of the time) |
