Tip #35: Keyboard Shortcuts to Increase Efficiency

Posted By RCI, Tuesday, August 28, 2012

All business owners could use extra time in their day, right? To help you be more efficient and save time while on the computer, we’ve compiled a list of commonly used keyboard shortcuts for you. Keyboard shortcuts are simply keyboard combinations that perform a specific command. For example, instead of going to click File, then clicking Save, you can press both the CTRL and S keys to perform the command.

Function Shortcut
Save CTRL + S
Open CTRL + O
Print CTRL + P
Copy CTRL + C
Cut CTRL + X
Paste CTRL + V
Undo CTRL + Z
Find CTRL + F
Bold CTRL + B
Italic CTRL + I
Underline CTRL + U
Zoom In CTRL + +
Zoom Out CTRL + -
Select all items in current window CTRL + A
Delete an item immediately without placing it in the Recycle Bin SHIFT + DELETE
Switch to another running program (hold down the ALT key and then press the TAB key to view the task-switching window) ALT + TAB
Minimize all open windows and display the desktop Windows Logo + D
Find files or folders Windows Logo + F
Open Control Panel Windows Logo + C


The shortcuts shown here are for Windows operating systems. However, if you are using a Mac operating system, many of the same shortcuts exist by using the command key in place of the CTRL key.
