Keyboard Efficiency Round 2

As I worked on a list today I realized there were a few things I forgot to add to my last keyboard blog. With that, here are a few more nuggets of efficiency love for you.

COMMANDDouble click on a word - highlights the word

Triple click on a word - highlights the entire sentence or paragraph

Shift ctrl Command key icon 3 - print screen to the clipboard

Shift ctrl Command key icon 4 - print screen of an area you select, to the clipboard

Command key icon M - minimize window

Command key icon W- close window

Command key icon delete - move selected item to trash

Option Command key icon C - copy the style

Option shift Command key icon V - Apply the style of the surrounding text to the inserted object (Paste and Match Style)

When using tabs in Chrome or Firefox Command key icon 1,2,3, etc. - switches to that number tab.

When using tabs in in Chrome or Firefox Command key icon Shift T - re-opens the tab you last closed, works for several tabs, keep pressing it.

When working in a spreadsheet document press Alt Return to create a new paragraph the same cell. Similar to wrap text.

Again do these things and you will be awesome; maybe you’ll be elected mayor of something.
