My colleagues seem to know lots of keyboard shortcuts like how to ‘cut and paste’ or how to retrieve deleted text. Can you share any popular shortcuts that will make my life easier?
Alex answers… There are dozens of short cuts out there! And sure, some of them are really useful. Most short cuts involve using a combination of buttons, typically this involves holding down either your Control (labelled ‘CTRL’, usually on the bottom left of your keyboard) or your Alternate (labelled ‘ALT’ and usually just to the right of ‘CTRL’) key as well as a single letter.
For instance, to cut a line of text you should use your mouse to highlight the text (holding your left key and dragging the cursor over the text), then hold down ‘CTRL’ and press the ‘X’ key (Tip: as soon as the text disappears release both keys). You can then paste the cut text to another document, or location in the same document by holding ‘CTRL’ and press ‘V’, again releasing the key straight away. You can paste the copied text to several places by repeating the CTRL+V sequence.
