"Shortcut keys" on your computer keyboard.

August 7th 2007 09:55
Shortcut keys
Signature Tune




Here are just a few for you to practice with.


I hope it improves your computer literacy just the same as it is improving mine.


And I am a very reluctant typist. Unfortunately, nowadays, we are all expected to be so, with varying degrees of success.



F3 Search for a folder

Rename a file/folder - select it, click F2 - retype the new name.

Display menu Ctrl and Esc together

Select text - shift and rt. lt. up or dn arrow to highlight text

Now here's some easy ones,

ctrl and any of those below to give the desired result

So it's ctrl and C copy text

X cut copy

V paste copy

Z undo last action

B bold text

I italicise

U underline

S save

P print

I think that's all for now, more next time.

Warning: If you are in a hurry don't try anything new, wait until you have a little more time, then experiment, if you can't understand something, leave it, you may have better luck another day or just learn a little with the easier tasks.

I think to give you a link will only confuse you, what you need to do is move forward slowly and become aware of what is there so others can't confuse you and use only what you need to use.




Any Comments, anyone?

Good list, katyzzz. Some I use, some I don't. Another good one is using Alt Tab to cycle between open applications without using the mouse to minimize/maximize windows. There's tons of functions and shortcuts built into Windows, half of which no one uses....

I'm always trying to Ctrl I or Ctrl B when I'm posting on Orble, and it always frustrates me when I remember that it doesn't work here!

Thanks, Winston, yes, people do need to know those things generally work only on Microsoft applications not with other operating systems which I believe are specialised here. A good warning for those new to these things and for Orblers. And thanks for the tip.

Tammy, I'm glad to be of some assistance and offer some suggestions but do be warned as Winston has kindly pointed out that these things don't always work for every application and of most relevance here, with Orble.

Of course, if you prepare your posts on Word, then transfer them here you can do what you like with Word.

Nice to see you both.

Wicked! Cheers!

The Ctrl key is one of my faves - esp the cut / paste / undo / bold stuff.

Cheers

Aren't you cold, Chic? Just jealous.
