More Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
It’s Saturday Share, and I’m giving you more keyboard shortcuts to save you time.
Previous shortcut posts were:
Keyboard Shortcuts for Punctuation Marks
Keyboard Shortcuts to Pick Colors.
Today, I’m focusing on Windows Shortcuts to accomplish tasks for which you would normally use a mouse point-click process.
Of course, you already know the common ones like PrtSc, ESC, and arrow keys as well as Control + A to highlight everything in a document, Control + X to cut only a selection you’ve highlighted, Control + C (or Ctrl + Insert) to copy a selection, and Control + V (or Shift + Insert) to paste something that was cut or copied to another spot.
Did you know you can paste a selection as plain text by using: Ctrl + Shift + V?
There are many shortcuts, but I’m only giving you the ones I find most useful. These are for Windows 10. Hope they’ll help you too. If you’re running Windows 11, scroll to the bottom for a link.
