Favorite Computer Keyboard Shortcuts

GON Reader Question

Hi Maria,

I'm a stay-at-home parent and an entrepreneur. I'm always looking for ways to optimize my productivity. While working at my computer in the kitchen the other day, my husband mentioned I might be able to save some time here and there using keyboard shortcuts. Do you use keyboard shortcuts and what are some of your favorites?

-- Jean in Rhode Island

Maria's Response

Hi Jean,

Yes, I rely heavily on keyboard shortcuts that allow me to bypass the sometimes tedious process of navigating through menus and submenus with a mouse or touchpad. Here are some I use all the time:

Select All Text

Windows Shortcut: Ctrl+A

Apple Shortcut: Command+A

Cut, Copy and Paste

Windows Shortcut: Ctrl+X (cut), Ctrl+C (copy), Ctrl+V (paste)

Apple Shortcut: Command+X (cut), Command+C (copy), Command+V (paste)

Undo and Redo

Windows Shortcut: Ctrl+Z (undo), Ctrl+Y (redo)

Apple Shortcut: Command+Z (undo), Command+Shift+Z (redo)

Save and Print

Windows Shortcut: Ctrl+S (save), Ctrl+P (print)

Apple Shortcut: Command+S (save), Command+P (print)

Find

Windows Shortcut: Ctrl+F

Apple Shortcut: Command+F

Bold, Italicize, and Underline Text

Windows Shortcut: Ctrl+B (bold), Ctrl+I (italicize), Ctrl+U (underline)

Apple Shortcut: Command+B (bold), Command+I (italicize), Command+U (underline)

Close Current Window

Windows Shortcut: Ctrl+W

Apple Shortcut: Command+W

Switch Between Open Windows

Windows Shortcut: Alt+Tab

Apple Shortcut: Command+Tab

Refresh a Webpage

Windows Shortcut: F5

Apple Shortcut: Command+R

Open Task Manager

Windows Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+Esc

Apple Shortcut: Command+Option+Esc

Emoticons

Windows Shortcut: Windows key+. (period)

Apple Shortcut: Control+Command+Space

By familiarizing yourself with these keyboard shortcuts, you can further optimize your productivity. Practice them for a few minutes each day, and soon enough, executing these actions will become second nature!

Hope this helps!

"Amen Sister!! Maria, your reflections on our flag were so beautifully put, you brought tears to my eyes. I am a patriotic mushball myself. While we never had a flag on our house, I remember, and still experience, pride when hearing the national anthem at a ball game (or anywhere!).
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and memories."
