Most of our times in office is spend on Viewing various documents and selecting and copying various elements from them. There is a joke going around in my office which says that only thing people do in office in Ctrl+ C and Ctrl + V! Now this might be an exaggeration by any standards, but this Post gives you incredible keyboard tricks for selecting, copying and Pasting data which will greatly increase your productivity. Interested! Read On.
Simple Tricks
Ok.Here, are the basics. I know almost everyone knows this, but nevertheless
- Ctrl+X:Cut
- 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 + Home or Ctrl + End: Move the cursor to the beginning or end of a document.
- CTRL+B: Bold
- CTRL+U: Underline
- CTRL+I: Italic
- Ctrl+A: Select entire Page
Ok. Thats It!The Most elementary shortcuts are over. Now Here is list of some very useful shortcuts that you might not have heard of.
Highlight Entire Paragraph for Copy/Paste
You can easily do with your mouse wheel but imagine a huge paragraph. It can be easily achieved by using Shift key. Just click the start point of the paragraph
you want to select, then hold the SHIFT key, while you click at the
end point of what you want to select. To select text, left-click first character, then hold [SHIFT] key and select last character.This highlights the whole text and now can be copied easily using CTRL+C or Mouse
If you are a little more advanced, you probably know that you can
also select a random series of items in a folder by holding down the
[CTRL] key as you select the items. Again, the same can be done when you
want to select multiple random chunks of text in a document.
