I see a lot of times panic when the mouse is not responding anymore. (Can happen due to various reasons)
I’m going to give some key combinations which should make working with the PC easier. Eventually you will also work more relax with the computer. Which is a nice part of these tips.
The following combinations work in all Windows screens and applications :
CTRL-A : Select all
CTRL-C : Copy
CTRL-V : Paste
CTRL-F : Find
CTRL-Z : Undo (undo your mistake)
CTRL-P : Printmenu
CTRL-S : Save (Very useful tip!) (Now and than clicking CTRL-S saves your day because you have a saved copy of your document even if something went wrong)
Alt-F4 : Close screen/windows or close your program, if no program is working close Windows
SHIFT-INS : Paste
PrtSc : Make a screendump
Alt-PrtSc : Make a screendump of the currently active window/application
CTRL-ESC : Windows Start Menu
Last but not least : CTRL-SHIFT-ESC, you will start the Windows taskmanager and can you regain the controle of your system if a program have strange behaviour.
If you want to make choices from a menu in programs most of the time you can choose it by pressing ALT-x (x= character which you will see underlined when pressing ALT). As example I give you Word; pressing ALT-f will open you file. This works in most Windows programs.
