Does Cutting and Pasting seem too tedious?
- Is your left hand jealous of the right hand always having the mouse? Cutting and pasting can go lickedy-split if you get both the right hand and the left hand doing something. Did you realize that both Apple and IBM have short cut keys for that left hand to participate? Speed up your blog typing and let your fingers follow your brain faster by getting used to these handy shortcuts. The letters themselves don’t necessarily make a lot of sense but are placed so that it is easy for the left hand to manipulate. The letters used are on the lower left of the keyboard: Z, X, C, and V. For the computer to realize you want to do something special the ctrl (control) key is used on windows oriented keyboards. For Apple the “apple key” is used located to the left of the space
bar. The short cuts are: - Ctrl-Z is undo
- Ctrl-X is cut
- Ctrl-C is copy
- Ctrl-V is paste
And for those adventurous types you can venture from the bottom row and Ctrl-A is select all.
