Here's a short list of useful keyboard shortcuts for Windows. They can save you a little time and make navigating your PC a little easier at times.
Copy and paste shortcuts:
- Ctrl + C: Instead of right-clicking selected text and selecting copy, just use this shortcut to copy text or objects.
- Ctrl + V: Pastes whatever you have in your system clipboard.
- Ctrl + X: Cuts selected text or objects and puts them in the clipboard for pasting.
- Ctrl + Z: Undo. Works for Windows and many applications.
- Ctrl + Y: Redo.
Text formatting:
- Ctrl + B: Bold selected text.
- Ctrl + I: Italicize selected text.
- Ctrl + U: Underline selected text.
System shortcuts and navigation:
- Alt + Tab: Switches between open programs.
- Windows Logo: Pressing the Windows Logo key alone will open your Start Menu.
- Windows Logo + F: Brings up a system search window allowing you to search for and find files.
- Windows Logo + R: Bring up the Run... dialog box.
- Windows Logo + D: Minimizes all windows and exposes your desktop. This can be very useful for clearing out some desktop space or getting back to your desktop shortcuts quickly.
