Computer tip -- Shortcut Keys

Shortcut keys are useful small applications that allow you to move around on your computer screen without using the mouse. In fact, I think that once you get used to using them, they can work faster than using a mouse or the touch pad on a laptop. All of these shortcuts start by using the Control key (CTRL)


CTRL + C will copy text after it has been highlighted.

CTRL + V will paste text that you have copied.

CTRL + X Cut Text and place on Clipboard

CRTL + Z will undo any change that you have done.

CTRL + ESC will bring up the Start Menu.

CTRL + A Select all items on a page

CTRL + ALT + DELETE will bring up Task Manager and allow you to end a process (terminate a program) if it has crashed or has stopped responding. Select the process which has stopped responding, and then press "END PROCESS''. Use this before you decide to do a computer restart because a program has stopped responding.


CTRL + PRT SCR (Print Screen) Copies what is on the screen to allow you to paste it in any photo editing program like PaintShop Pro or Adobe PhotoShop.

That's the Planner's Pointers for today.
