Using key­board short­cuts can greatly increase your pro­duc­tiv­ity, reduce repet­i­tive strain, and help keep you focused. For exam­ple, high­light­ing text with the key­board and press­ing Ctrl + C is much faster than tak­ing your hand from the key­board, high­light­ing the text using the mouse, click­ing copy from the file menu, and then putting your hand back in place on the key­board. Below are our top 10 key­board short­cuts we rec­om­mend every­one mem­o­rize and use.
Ctrl + C or Ctrl + Insert
Copy the high­lighted text or selected item.
Ctrl + V or Shift + Insert
Paste the text or object that’s in the clip­board.
Ctrl + Z and Ctrl + Y
Undo any change. For exam­ple, if you cut text, press­ing this will undo it. This can also often be pressed mul­ti­ple times to undo mul­ti­ple changes. Press­ing Ctrl + Y would redo the undo.
Ctrl + F
Open the Find in any pro­gram. This includes your Inter­net browser to find text on the cur­rent page.

Alt + Tab or Alt + Esc
Quickly switch between open pro­grams mov­ing forward.
 Press Ctrl + Tab to switch between tabs in a program.
 Adding the Shift key to Alt + Tab or Ctrl + Tab will move back­wards. For exam­ple, if you are press­ing Alt + Tab and pass the pro­gram you want to switch to, press Alt + Shift + Tab to move back­wards to that program.
 Win­dows Vista and 7 users can also press the Win­dows Key + Tab to switch through open pro­grams in a full screen­shot of the Window.
Ctrl + Back space
Press­ing Ctrl + Back­space will delete a full word at a time instead of a sin­gle character.
Ctrl + Left arrow / Right arrow
Move the cur­sor one word at a time instead of one char­ac­ter at a time. If you wanted to high­light one word at a time you can hold down Ctrl + Shift and then press the left or right arrow key to move one word at a time in that direc­tion while high­light­ing each word.
Ctrl + Home / End
Move the cur­sor to the begin­ning or end of a document.
Ctrl + P
Print the page being viewed. For exam­ple, the doc­u­ment in Microsoft Word or the web page in your Inter­net browser.
Page Up / Space bar and Page Down
Press­ing either the page up or page down key will move that page one page at a time in that direc­tion. When brows­ing the Inter­net press­ing the space bar will also move the page down one page at a time. If you press Shift and the Space bar the page will go up a page at a time.
