Day 19 in the 30 in 30 series isn't going to have any WOW factor. Nothing new. Nothing that you haven't heard of before, but it is worth spending some time on. What is it? Just some good old fashioned shortcuts. While there are a few that I think most of the population of technology users know, like Cut, Copy & Paste (Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V) there are a few that I use often, like Ctrl+A for Select All that would come in handy at times if you knew what was available to you. This post is going to challenge you. Take a look at the list below. How many do you know? How many do you use? Refer back to this post as often as needed. The challenge is....learn one new one a day and put it to use. You will find over time that they will not only save you some time, but will make you more productive, especially when shortcut button isn't available. Great example: did you know that you can undo inside of Gmail even when the undo button isn't available? Not to be confused with Undo Send....that is for another day. Have a shortcut that you use often that isn't on the list? Leave it in the comments section below.
- Ctrl + Z = Undo
- Ctrl + Y = Redo
- Ctrl + X = Cut
- Ctrl + C = Copy
- Ctrl + V = Paste
- Ctrl + A = Select All
- Ctrl + F = Find
- Ctrl + B = Bold
- Ctrl + I = Italics
- Ctrl + U = Underline
- Ctrl + S = Save
- Ctrl + P = Print
- Ctrl + T = Open New Tab
- Ctrl + Backspace = Delete 1 Word at a Time (instead of a single letter)
- Alt + Tab = Switches Between Open Programs
- Spacebar = Start & Stop in most audio/video programs....like YouTube
