Some basic keyboard and mouse shortcuts:
Try this one! It's REALLY useful!
- Ctrl + Mouse Wheel UP or Down = changes text size in browser.
These two are also a real time saver over clicking with mouse.
- CTRL+SHIFT with any of the arrow keys = Highlight a block of text.
- SHIFT with any of the arrow keys = Select more than one item in a window or on the desktop, or select text in a document.
This one is good too!
- Ctrl + Left or Right arrow = moves the cursor one word left or right.
- Home = moves the cursor to the beginning of the current line.
- Ctrl + Home = moves the cursor to the top of the document.
- End = moves the cursor to the end of the current line.
- Ctrl + End = moves the cursor to the bottom of the document.
- Page Up = moves the cursor up the length of one screen.
- Page Down = moves the cursor down the length of one screen.
- Ctrl + Page Up = moves the cursor to the previous page in your document.
- Ctrl + Page Down = moves the cursor to the next page down in your document.
Internet Explorer supposedly uses Control + Up arrow and Control + Down arrow to view options in a list on a web page without triggering scripts that may change a page.
