Keyboard shortcuts for windows
No one denies that the mouse is an invaluable accessory for the personal computer. But sometimes, when you’re hurriedly entering text into a word processor or email editor for instance, having to interrupt your typing to reach all the way over to your mouse can be quite a hardship. Okay, maybe not, but knowing a few keyboard shortcuts can save you a little time on routine tasks, not to mention the buzz you’ll get tapping the “secret” combination like a pro. Below you’ll find a list of the most common keyboard shortcuts. Most are a combination of two or three keys that you will need to hold down simultaneously to trigger the command. While they may seem a little awkward at first, they will become second nature once you’ve started using them regularly. F1 Help F2 Rename an item F3 Open Find All Files dialog ALT + F4 Close the current window, or quit the current program F5 Refresh Screen ALT + F6 Switch between multiple windows in the same program F10 Activate the menu bar in a program SHIFT + F10 Open a context menu, the same as right-clicking an object CTRL + ESC Open Start Menu, use the arrow keys to select an item, or TAB to select the taskbar ALT + TAB Returns to previous program, or hold down the ALT key while repeatedly pressing TAB to cycle through open programs SHIFT + DELETE Delete items permanently ALT + ENTER or ALT + double-click Display properties of an item ALT + SPACE Display current window’s System menu, and use the arrow keys to move, restore, resize, minimize, maximize or close the window.
