Snacks and Keyboard Shortcuts

At the risk of stealing his thunder, I think I'll make my first blog post about Sean's latest greatest idea, the Midnight Snacks.  We'll soon be offering daily video snippets, or "Snacks", for your edification.  I've just recorded a few vids on one of the great unsung heroes of computing, the keyboard shortcut.  Here's the cheat sheets to go along with those vids:

Favorite keyboard shortcuts

________________
1 - Text editing keyboard shortcuts

CTRL A, S, X, C, V, Z

CTRL Home

CTRL SHIFT End, Home
SHIFT End, Home

 

________________
2 - Window control/nav keyboard shortcuts


ALT-Tab
ALT-SHIFT Tab
Alt-F4
ALT-SHIFT n, x(, r)
Windows L, R, #... (QuickLaunch in vista, pinned in 7)


________________
3 - Old school "classic" text menus/kbrd shortcuts

Alt-F C to close
 F N for new file (or ctrl-N)
 F S to save (or ctrl-S)
 F A to save as
 F O to open (or ctrl-O)
 F P to print (or ctrl-P)
Alt-E U to undo (or ctrl-Z)
Alt-E F to find, or F3 (or ctrl-Z)

These are still applicable even when you can't see the text menus, like in IE, and MS Office.

Types of spider plants

You genuinely make it look so uncomplicated with your presentation, but I find this subject to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking ahead for your future post; I will try to get the knack of it.
