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
