Use XX shortcuts to make you XX times more efficient title is not more eye-catching… But I really don’t want to. ~ ~

takeaway

  • With the exception of CTRL + C and CTRL + V, you’ll be much more efficient with a few common shortcuts. These shortcuts are almost universal and can be used in most situations.
  • Shortcut keys are not many and all, a few practical enough. Because there are not many, so these commonly used to remember, so that they can play a role.
  • The gains in efficiency per operation may be small, but think about how much time you spend on your PC and how much you do? The cumulative benefits of doing a lot of things over a long period of time are huge, and compounding those gains is even bigger.

Let’s start with an introduction to Microsoft’s official keyboard shortcuts. PS:

When possible, we should always seek out first-hand information. When writing his own articles, Z should also try to give readers first-hand sources of information, not just to be a data porter.

The official document is the most complete and correct, you can directly go to try one by one, choose what you feel useful to write down. But many of them are useless or repetitive. I’ve simplified and explained it here. For the record, I’m running windows10, but if you’re running Windows 7, it might be a little different.

System operation

  • Windows + E: Open Resource Manager. Stop using your mouse to open “My computer” every time…
  • Windows + L: Lock the computer
  • Windows + R: Open “Run”
  • Alt + F4: If there is no active application, a shutdown dialog box will pop up.
  • Windows + I: Open the Settings center

Edit related shortcut keys

  • Home: Moves to the start of the current input line

  • End: Moves to the start of the current input line

  • CTRL + Home: Move to the beginning of the entire file

  • CTRL + End: Move to the end of the entire file

  • Shift: Select a range.

    • When editing, you can select a piece of continuous content. A little abstract? For example: if you’re using a browser on your PC right now, click in the middle of the browser, then hold down Shift and click back. Nothing in the middle will be selected.
    • Shift can be used in combination with home and end. For example, to select the part between the current position and the beginning of the line, you can hold Shift and then press Home; Select the current position to the end of the entire file by holding Shift and then CTRL + End.
    • You can also use the resource browser (folder) to select a file, then hold down Shift and click on the next one, the middle one will be selected.
    • Other software: This is a universal design that is supported by many other software, such as Evernote. Batch selection can be done by selecting one note and holding down Shift to select the next one.

  • CTRL: Multiple selections. The difference with Shift is that this selection is not an interval, it’s discrete

  • F2: Rename the file

  • F3: Open the search box

Windows and Tasks

  • F11: Full screen. Press it again and it goes back. This works for most applications.

  • Alt + F4: Close the current window and exit the active application. If there are no active references, a shutdown dialog will pop up.

  • Windows + D: Displays the desktop. Press again to restore the desktop

  • Windows + Arrow keys: Move Windows to the side. This feature is perfect for splitting the screen so you can use one side of the screen to write documents and one side of the screen to look up information in the browser. It’s more efficient and better looking than dragging the window every time you use the mouse.

  • Windows + TAB: Opens the task window.

    • You can also switch tasks using Alt + TAB, but that’s linear and only the current desktop (windows10 has virtual desktops)

  • The task switching window opened with Window + TAB is a side, you can use up, down, left and right to switch, more efficient. Press Enter to switch to that window. Another mouse use avoided…

  • Windows + Number keys: Open fixed programs in the taskbar. 1 represents the first application icon in the taskbar. One more push and it’ll go back.

  • Windows + Shift + Left and right Arrow Keys: Move a window to another monitor on multiple monitors

  • Windows + B: Switch the focus to the taskbar notification area (the right side of the taskbar shows networks, sounds, events) and then use the arrow keys to select…

  • CTRL + N: Open a new window in Resource Management or browser. The difference between this and Windows + E is that it opens a new window in the current path, so you don’t have to open the folder all the way through.

  • Alt + Arrow keys Left or right: Navigate to and from resource management or browser

The start menu

  • Windows key: Opens and closes the Start menu.

  • Win10 start menu can be full screen display, the way is to enter the setting center, in turn into personality, start, open the use of full screen start menu options. Please match Chinese by yourself.

  • The windows10 start menu icon can be merged with the mobile APP.

Virtual desktop

This is a new feature added to Win10. In Windows 10, you can hit Windows + TAB and you’ll see that there’s a desktop.

You can drag some Windows that are not currently in use onto another desktop. Use desktop 2 for shopping websites at work, then switch to desktop 1 when your boss comes over… Related shortcut keys:

  • Windows + CTRL + D: Add a virtual desktop. Yes, you can have multiple desktops…

  • Windows + CTRL + Left and right Arrow keys: Switch between virtual desktops

  • Windows + CTRL + F4: Close the virtual desktop you are currently using

Adjust taskbar

  • Windows taskbar (the bottom bar by default) can be toggled and set to auto hide, right click on the taskbar to enter the taskbar Settings can be changed.
  • The most comfortable position for me to work in is at the top, because I’m not used to looking down, so I can see at the top.

The browser

The following are fairly generic, and most browsers are the same.

  • Alt + Arrow keys left or right: Forward and back
  • CTRL + N: Open a new window
  • ALT + F4: Close the current window (universal shortcut)
  • CTRL + T: Opens a new TAB
  • CTRL + W: Close the current TAB
  • CTRL + TAB: Switch to the right TAB page
  • CTRL + Shift + TAB: Toggle a TAB to the left
  • CTRL + D: Labels the current page
  • CTRL + Mouse Wheel: Zoom in and out of pages
  • CTRL + H: Open history
  • CTRL + J: Open download record-alt + D: Moves the input focus to the address bar. This is not very useful
