Keyboard Shortcuts Creating A Short Fuse?

Do you have instances where you need to copy and paste information in a hurry or need to copy and paste information over and over again? Do you want to stop using the mouse method where you click on Edit, Copy, then Edit, Paste?

There are many different keyboard shortcuts for various pieces of software, therefore, this post would be quite long if I added all of the ones that I remember. That’s another matter though – memorizing all of them.

There is, however, two tricks that I would like to share to help you conquer your fear of keyboard shortcuts:

1. You can visit Microsoft’s website to find out keyboard shortcuts of various pieces of software that they offer.
2. You can purchase a keyboard that has some common shortcuts printed directly on the keys.

These tips should help you with your work flow quite a bit. It’s amazing of how quickly I am able to copy and paste items and switch between screens to do this, just by learning a few keyboard shortcuts.

By the way, here are the shortcuts for the following:

• Copy: CTRL+C
• Cut: CTRL+X
• Paste: CTRL+V
• Flipping between screens: ALT+Tab

Update:

If you are using Microsoft Office 2007 products, press the ALT key and the corresponding keys that you have to press with ALT will show up on your screen.
