Working on a PC can make your life a lot easier, but if you ever feel like you want to move faster, shortcuts can be a great help to speed up your work flow with no compromises. You may of heard that there are hundreds of shortcuts, and understandably, that can be super overwhelming. Let’s make this easier for you shall we? Grab your keyboard, throw away your mouse (don’t really), here are 10 Shortcuts you NEED to know…
CTRL + C
Copies whatever is highlighted, be that text, image, file, or folder. This is stored in whats known as your “Clipboard”
CTRL + X
Cuts whatever is highlighted, be that text, image, file, or folder. This is stored in whats known as your “Clipboard”
CTRL + V
Pastes the last copied or cut item from the clipboard into your selected field
CTRL + Z
Undo an action – This one is super useful!
Redo an action – The opposite of the previous (Not as useful as the previous but worth knowing)
CTRL + A
Selects or highlights all content in a field or a page
CTRL + P
If applicable, this opens up the print page
ALT + TAB
Switches between open apps, tabs, or pages
CTRL + E
Opens up your file explorer
PRTSC (Print Screen)
Takes a “Print” (a screenshot) of your page and saves it to the Clipboard
Of course there are many more to learn if you really wish, but hopefully but just memorising a few of these you can supercharge your workflow. If you struggle to remember all of them, don’t worry! Just focus on one or two and then slowly you can build up your shortcut repertoire.
Did you know; BY LAW all operating systems (Like Windows) have to be fully useable without a mouse?! Isn’t that crazy?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not advocating for you to chuck out your rodent companion, but that just highlights the power of a shortcut. So what are you wating for? Try it for yourself and see how shortcuts can work for you!
