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 Both CTRL+C and CTRL+INSERT will
CTRL+X 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 Pressing CTRL+BACKSPACE deletes a
OR RIGHT ARROW 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 As you may have guessed, pressing
DOWN 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.
