Guest nellie2 Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 I know........ lets start a thread where we can all add some favourite keyboard shortcuts.... that way we may all learn some new ones. What I would say is post a maximum of four at a time because if we get a big long list then people probably won't give them a go.I will start with a couple of mineCtrl+C CopyCtrl+V Paste Try these two they are soooo handy, Windows key + M will minimise all windows that are open!!!! :) My other really favourite one is Alt+Tab which will move to the next open application.......... very handy if you happen to lose your task bar!!! :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lb Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 in IE press type in an address ie BT, press <CTRL> and <ENTER> and it will add www and .com for you..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sureshot Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 Alt+tab works wonders when you are employed in a Call Centre and are surfing the web, or playing Yahoo Pool, :lol: Still I was only there for the summer so its not too bad!I use Alt+Enter to quickly come out of a game if I need to. It works quite well. Better than sticky keys function! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sureshot Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 if you hold down Alt and press tab it lets you select which app you want to go to if you have a number of windows open. It then lets you set the window you will switch to when you press Alt+Tab the next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted October 12, 2003 Report Share Posted October 12, 2003 Windows + E key to open Explorer a lot of the time.Shift + Arrow keys to high light text, alot when i am typing, it saves going for the mouse.F11 key to toggle full screen in IE"Alt+Shift" to change keyboard input settings, ok that is very usfull for me as i use a German keyboard, so i need to do this to get the English £ and such things.Ctrl+Z In many applications you can use to Undo, a very handy feature if you want to undo a lot of steps.Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
