I’m lazy smart kind of person, especially when using computer. Long procedure or complicated step is not my favorite. I like direct, simple, and easy way to do things. Don’t you?
I’ve posted 10 basics Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts. But how about Windows? We have more shortcuts here. You may familiar with some of the basic shortcuts. But I’m sure you still can learn some extra from the list below.
FILE
Ctrl + S = Save
Ctrl + N = New Document
Ctrl + O = Open Existing Document
Ctrl + P = Print
Ctrl + W = Close
PARAGRAPH ALIGNMENT
Ctrl + L = Left Aligned
Ctrl + R = Right Aligned
Ctrl + E = Center Aligned
Ctrl + J = Justified
Font Styles (with text selected)
Ctrl + B = Bold
Ctrl + I = Italic
Ctrl + U = Underlined
Page Scrolling
Ctrl + Home = Top of Document
Ctrl + End = Bottom of Document
Ctrl + Page Up = Top of Page
Ctrl + Page Down = Bottom of Page
EDIT
Ctrl + A = Select All
Ctrl + X = Cut
Ctrl + C = Copy
Ctrl + V = Paste
Ctrl + F = Find
Ctrl + H = Find & Replace
Ctrl + Z = Undo Ctrl + Y = Redo
Windows System
Win Key + E = Opens Windows Explorer
Win Key + F = Find Files & Folders
Win Key + R = brings up the Run command.
Win Key + Pause/Break Key = open System Properties
Win Key + D = toggles you between the Desktop and wherever you happen to be.
If you could memorize all shortcuts above, it reduce your mouse movements and directly save your time. For me, Win Key + D is new for me. I always use mouse to click “Show Desktop” icon. Now can save that mouse movement too!
