Windows Shortcuts

Few quick shortcuts I find very useful on windows. I have tested these on W2K, but it should work on other versions also.

  1. CTRL+SHIFT+Esc Open Task Manager
  2. CTRL+A Select all (highlight all content in a window)
  3. CTRL+C Copy (copy all highlighted content)
  4. CTRL+X Cut (remove all highlighted content)
  5. CTRL+V Paste (paste content that was cut or copied)
  6. CTRL+Z Undo
  7. CTRL+Y Redo
  8. CTRL+RIGHT ARROW Move the insertion point to the beginning of the next word.
  9. CTRL+LEFT ARROW Move the insertion point to the beginning of the previous word.
  10. CTRL+DOWN ARROW Move the insertion point to the beginning of the next paragraph.
  11. CTRL+UP ARROW Move the insertion point to the beginning of the previous paragraph.
  12. CTRL+SHIFT+ARROW Highlight a block of text, starting at the cursor insertion point.
  13. ALT+TAB Switch between open items (e.g, switch back and forth between two open Word files).
  14. CTRL+F4 Close the active window but leave the program running.
  15. ALT+F4 Close the active window and/or quit the program.
enjoy :-)
