Dear PC Doctor:
I am a computer newbie and would love to see a list of common keyboard commands and how to use them. I'm not getting the hang of using the mouse and I think keyboard commands will make things easier for me. I use Windows.
Thanks,
Gavin
Dear Gavin:
Here goes!
Ctrl C = Copy
Ctrl X = Delete
Ctrl V = Paste
Ctrl P = Print
Ctrl S = Save
Ctrl A = Select All
Ctrl Z = Undo
Ctrl Y = Redo
Ctrl + Right Arrow = Move the cursor to the beginning of the next word
Ctrl + Left Arrow = Move the cursor to the beginning of the previous word
Ctrl + Down Arrow = Move the cursor to the beginning of the next paragraph
Ctrl + Up Arrow = Move the cursor to the beginning of the previous paragraph
Windows M = Minimize all windows
There are many more! If you do an internet search for “Windows keyboard shortcuts” you will get a comprehensive list.
Until next time,
Happy Computing!
PC Doctor
