Your keyboard is equipped with over a hundred different buttons, each serving a second function beyond the original, thus providing a versatility (hotkeys). When the time comes that your mouse won't work (and trust us, it will happen to all of you at some point) either because it's out of battery or because it's broken, then you'll be forced to rely entirely on your keyboard, given of course that the screen you are not touch.
Windows keeps secret the secret of this enhanced navigation through hotkeys, since there is no built-in method to see which keys you need, let alone to change their function. You are quite familiar with some hotkeys and so we will not mention them, but we will point out some that are practically in the right conditions.
Sure, hotkeys change over the years with each new one version of Windows that bring new accessibility methods. Today you can put aside your mouse and start using only the keyboard, and you will find that you will be able to fully handle your programs without it being as time-consuming as you might imagine.
If you have pinned some program icons on the taskbar, you probably do not know that you can run them through hotkeys by default on Windows. For example, by clicking the buttons Win + 1 immediately launches the first program on the taskbar. With Win + 2 the second, and generally the same applies to up to ten of its icons taskbar.
Navigate between your active windows by pressing the key combination Alt + Tab. In addition, you can use them Win + M and Win + Shift + M to minimize and restore all your windows back to their respective locations.
Additionally, word processing accepts several hotkey keys, such as Ctrl + Shift + V to paste the original format of the copied text. Or you could win if you learn to use them Ctrl + Delete / Backspace to delete the whole word.
If you have themethe fine print then you can use the keys, Win + Plus / Minus (+/-) that set the Windows magnifier, regardless of the active window. And if the application that you are running supports fullscreen then tap them Alt + Enter . When something refuses to cooperate and gets stuck, press them Ctrl + Shift + Escape to enable Task Manager.
Needless to say, there are many more hotkeys. Knowing and using them, on the one hand, can also earn us keystroke time, but it reminds us that they do not need sophisticated applications for comfortable editing and navigation on our computer.
