Keyboard shortcut of the day

<< < (4/12) > >>

ewemoa:
I'm left-handed and am usually drawing with the mouse and trying to hit a Ctrl+Otherkey shortcut and I catch the corner of the apps key - then, using the keyboard, I would have to leave the mouse to hit escape, or hit it with my right hand, both of which are a pain, especially if it keeps happening.

I'm not left-handed, but I use a trackball with that hand -- and as a trackball stays put, it turns out I can reach the Escape key with my left thumb :)

For a long time I had the apps key 'converted' to the Control key but I missed it in other software - actually that was how I came across dc, trying to find out how to do that.

I find that Control+Escape has served me well over the years -- I wonder if it does anything in Windows 8...

Shift+Insert is the same as Ctrl-V (Paste)

I have found this one to be helpful in multi-platform contexts  :up:

Don't forget the Ctrl + Ins to 'Copy'

There's one for 'Cut' too but I forget!

Shift + Del

Just found that the Paste, Copy, and Cut ones appear to be via:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Common_User_Access#Description

May be there are some other things worth knowing there too...
