The keyboard shortcut combination saves you 2 times

2. Quick transfer to the address bar

There are several ways to navigate to the address bar from anywhere in the browser. Pressing Ctrl + L, F6 and Alt + D all accomplish this goal.

3. Close the current window / tab

Press the X button to turn off the current window? No need to waste time like that, just press Ctrl + W and the current window will close.

4. Reopen closed tab

If you cloned a tab just press Ctrl + Shift + T to reopen the recently closed tab On a Mac, press Cmd + Shift + T.

5. Use the keyboard to launch programs on the Windows Taskbar

Pressing the Windows key + number corresponding to the location of the program on the Taskbar is a quick way to open them. For example, if Chrome is the second icon on the Taskbar, press Windows key + 2 to open it.

6. Open task manager directly

Want to open task manager directly press Ctrl + Shift + Esc.

7. Switch between open windows

Pressing Alt + Tab allows you to move through open windows (Alt + Shift + Tab will move backwards). In macOS use the keyboard shortcut Cmd + Tab.

8. Minimize all windows

Sometimes you use a bunch of programs and want to minimize them all to show your desktop. Simply pressing Windows key + D will save you time by pressing the minimize button for each window. It should be noted that Windows + M provides the same function, but does not undo, so Windows + D is the more convenient approach. In macOS, use Mission Control to handle virtual desktops, switching between applications.

9. Close the current program

Pressing Alt + F4 will close the running programs. This is useful because it saves you time.

10. Interrupt all processes

Ctrl + Alt + Delete is used as a normal computer shortcut and almost every user is familiar. It is important to note that it can also interrupt all processes, including those that damage the system. So it is not recommended to use Ctrl + Alt + Delete.

11. Use the menu key on the keyboard to right click

Not all keyboards have a menu key (as shown in the illustration), but many keyboards have this key. This button will replace right-clicking.

12. Paste plain text

When copying text from any source, it retains the original format. To paste this text as plain text, press Ctrl + Shift + V instead of Ctrl + V and the system will paste the unformatted text. This also works on Mac: Cmd + Shift + V.

13. Delete the whole word

Instead of deleting letters one by one, pressing Ctrl + Backspace will delete the entire word behind the cursor.

14. Undo everywhere

Did you know you can undo almost any action on your computer? Ctrl + Z is a “classic” hotkey and you probably already know it, but note that undo doesn’t just apply to typing. If you accidentally delete or move a file, you can press Ctrl + Z to bring it back to position (Ctrl + Y will redo whatever you did).

15. Easily extract images from Word files (.docx)

Change the file name from .docx to .zip and open the file. Images will be in one of these directories.
