Keyboard shortcuts, in my opinion, are one of the most productive tricks when it comes to basic computer usage. Whether it be copying or pasting, undoing a mistake or opening a previously closed browser tab, keyboard shortcuts make those tasks simpler and more efficient. Below is a list of keyboard short that I use the most on a day to day basis as a technician at CCR. My personal favorite is Ctrl-F as it makes finding specific things in a large document very easy.
| Short-cut Commands | Description |
|---|---|
| Ctrl-C | Copies any highlighted text |
| Ctrl-X | Cuts any text that is highlighted |
| Ctrl-Z | Undo that last action made |
| Ctrl-A | Select all the items in the current window |
| Ctrl-Shift-T | Opens a previously closed tab in most internet browsers |
| Alt-Tab | Switch to another running program (hold down the ALT key and then press the TAB key to view the task-switching window) |
| Ctrl-F | Opens a search window that allows you to search for key words in application or windows |
