Make Your Life Easier with Shortcut Keys

This may be old news for some of you digital whizzes out there, but if you haven't learned these shortcuts yet, you'll love the time they save you!

My all time faves are for copying and pasting, but I'll share a few other good ones with you too down below. (Note to Mac users: Wherever you see Ctrl, use your apple key instead!)

To copy and paste:
Highlight the text, then click Ctrl + C. Now click your mouse wherever you wish to paste the information and click Ctrl + V. Awesome, right!

If you're wanting to completely cut the text from one area and move it to another, use Ctrl + X to cut, then Ctrl + V to paste like you did above.

Here are a few other nifty shortcuts to remember:

Italics: Ctrl + I
Underline: Ctrl + U
Bold: Ctrl + B
Save: Ctrl + S
Print: Ctrl+ P
New window or document: Ctrl + N
New tab (for Internet browsers): Ctrl + T

You get the idea. To learn more shortcuts, just look at the menu options in your various applications. They'll teach you the shortcuts to the right of the action. See what I mean...



Or on browsers...
