Keyboard shortcuts

Some fairly universal keyboard shortcuts that work in many programs that quite a few otherwise computer-savvy people might still be unaware of are as follows:
  • Ctrl A (holding down the Ctrl key at the bottom left or right of most keyboards, then tapping the letter A) = highlight all
  • Ctrl B = bold
  • Ctrl C = copy whatever text you might have highlighted
  • double-click on a word to highlight it (usually)
  • triple-click to highlight an entire paragraph
  • Ctrl F = find/search
  • Ctrl G = go to a specific line or cell
  • Ctrl H = search and replace
  • Ctrl I = italicize
  • Ctrl K = create hyperlink
  • Ctrl N = new document/message
  • Ctrl O = open document
  • Ctrl P = print
  • Ctrl Q = quit/exit (not as universal)
  • Ctrl S = save
  • Ctrl T = new tab (in tabbed browsers)
  • Ctrl V = paste (whatever's been copied)
  • Ctrl W = close window
  • Ctrl X = cut (as opposed to copy)
  • Ctrl Z = undo
