P.S. Dessert for today, video about Windows 7 hotkeys.

Greetings, dear readers of the Rabota-Vo.ru blog! I won't be mistaken if I say that many ordinary users when sitting at the computer, never use Hotkeys. Most control their computer by manipulating the mouse. Even many of my friends, to whom I showed some key combinations for the speed and convenience of working at a computer, did not immediately understand what was the point of using them.

The force of habit does not allow many to give up what they are used to. That's the way man is. But, having tried several times to perform this or that operation on the computer, using keyboard shortcuts, after a while, many begin to use them automatically. I hope that the recommendations listed below on using the keys on the keyboard will be useful to someone and make it easier to stay at the computer.

Keyboard shortcut.

Hotkeys allow users to optimize their work on the computer and not interrupt the creative process for any nonsense. Using standard keyboard shortcuts, you can quickly execute the necessary commands (undo an action, copy and paste text, take a screenshot of the screen, switch the language, and even turn off the computer) without being distracted or even looking at the keyboard. By the way, Windows hotkeys work in almost all applications of this operating system. It doesn't matter if you're running Windows 7 or Windows XP. I will give a simple example of how the undo hotkeys "Ctrl" + "Z" work. To undo the last action, press the left key "Ctrl" and, holding it, press the English key "Z". If you want to undo multiple actions, press the "Z" key several times. Moreover, it does not matter what language you have enabled. Most often keyboard shortcuts work the same way in Russian and in English layout.

Keys on the keyboard for searching.

It is very convenient to use the search keys "Ctrl" + "F". They allow you to quickly find a phrase in a document, and work with text is greatly simplified. By the way, search keys can also be used on site pages. When you press "Ctrl" + "F", at the top right in Google Chrome(top left in Opera, bottom left in Mazilla) a small box will appear where you can enter the word or phrase you want to search for on the page. If such a word is on the page, it will be highlighted in your browser in yellow or orange. The same line will contain the number of words found on the page, as well as arrows that allow you to quickly move to the next option. Just don't confuse hot keys search with site search. They only work on the page that is open in your browser.

How to highlight text using the keyboard.

Keyboard shortcuts are also used to select text. For example, if the text document is very large and needs to be fully selected, use mouse cursor not very convenient. It's much easier to press "Ctrl" + "A" and all the text will be selected. To select a piece of text from the cursor to the left or right, press the "Shift" key and, while holding it, press the "←" and "→" arrows. Each time you press the arrow, the next letter will be highlighted. True, it takes a long time to highlight the text in this way, but it can come in handy. And to select text from the cursor to the beginning or to the end of the line, you can use the combinations "Shift" + "Home" and "Shift" + "End". In the same way, you can select text from the cursor in whole lines, up or down. To do this, place the cursor in the right place, press the "Shift" key and, while holding it, use the "" and "↓" arrows. By the way, pressing the opposite arrow removes the selection. To remove the selection, you can click anywhere in the open document. In some applications, you can deselect using the "Ctrl" + "D" keys, but they do not work everywhere. For instance, virtual keyboard it does not respond to this combination.

How to copy text using the keyboard.

Many are also interested what keys to copy in different applications. To do this, use the combination "Ctrl" + "C". The keys work the same way text documents, v graphic editors and in other programs. It is enough to select the desired fragment with the cursor and copy with the keys. Moreover, these keyboard keys are used to copy some files. But there is one caveat. If you want to copy text published on some site, you may not be able to. This is the copy protection of the text that the owner of the resource has set. About, how to copy non-copyable text from such sites, is described in more detail in another material.

How to paste text using the keyboard.

To paste text from the clipboard, you can press the hotkeys "Ctrl" + "V". They also work in different applications. you can use insert hotkeys in text documents or when copying a file. It is especially convenient with their help to insert a large number of identical objects (for example, characters that you want to use many times in a document).

How to switch the keyboard to English.

We switch the keyboard from Russian to English and vice versa a hundred times a day without even noticing it. Most often we use language switcher RU / EN, which is located at the bottom of the screen, on the right, on the taskbar. But it is much more convenient to do this using the Alt + Shift key combination. Over time, you start using these keys automatically. You just keep typing on the keyboard and don't think about how to switch to english and back.

How to restart your computer using the keyboard.

There is another key combination that you need to know. If the computer freezes and does not respond to your actions, press the "Ctrl" + "Alt" + "Del" keys at the same time. The Task Manager window will open, listing all the applications you have running. If you see the status “Not working” opposite any of them, click on the “End task” button.

If the mouse does not work, use the "Tab" key to select. When the End Task button is highlighted, press Enter. You also need to know what keys you can log out of the system if your mouse is broken. So to reload quickly or at all turn off computer, press the Windows key. It is located at the bottom, on both sides of the keyboard, it shows the logo of this operating system. When the main menu window appears, press the "↓" key until the "Shutdown" button is highlighted. Press "Enter", the standard window "Turn off the computer" will appear. Use the keys "←" and "→" to select the command "Shutdown" or "Reboot" and press "Enter". To cancel this action and return to the system, press "Esc".

Of course, there are other options for keyboard shortcuts to perform various operations on the computer. But in this note, I shared the most common ones that I use all the time myself and recommend to you, my readers. I wish you all good luck! See you soon on the Rabota-Vo.ru blog pages!
