Keyboard Shortcuts!!

O.k. let's talk more computer talk :-)

Keyboard shortcuts are one of my favorites computerisms.  The fact that I can get something done without moving my hand to the mouse and clicking several times makes me happy :-) Not to mention they save time.  There are lots and lots and lots of keyboard shortcuts but luckily for you I only know maybe 10% of them :-)

A little formality:  most keyboard shortcuts involve holding down more than button therefor a + b means to hold down the a and b keys at the same time. 
Here are 15 of them. Just for kicks :-)

• Ctrl + c = copy
• Ctrl + v = paste
• Shift + left or right arrows keys = selects letters and numbers one at a time
• Ctrl + shift + left or right arrow keys = selects by word
• (for Windows users) Windows/start key + d = minimizes all widows/takes you to your desktop
• On most computer, sadly not all F5 will refresh/reload your current internet page
• Alt + Tab = allows you to switch between programs you have open 
• Ctrl + z = undo
• Ctrl + y = redo
• Ctrl + b = bold
• Ctrl + u = underline
• Ctrl + i = italic
• Ctrl + r = aligns text to right side of page
  
• Ctrl + e = centers text
• Ctrl + l = aligns text to left side of page
