IT Simple Tip #1: Keyboard Shortcuts

I have to start somewhere so starting with something simple! During my years working in schools I discovered that it was things like learning basic keyboard shortcuts that made people's lives a lot easier. 


So here are the most important shortcuts you can learn:

NameWindows MacResult
Copy Ctrl+C Cmd+C Copies selected item
Paste Ctrl+V Cmd+V Pastes the last item you copied/cut
Cut Ctrl+X Cmd+X Deletes selected item and holds to paste elsewhere
Select AllCtrl+A Cmd+A Highlights all the items on the page so you can quickly copy/cut or delete

There are many more shortcuts that each application uses but the the four above are the ones that you will use on an almost daily basis. 


More tips to come and please feel free to prompt me with a question!

Welcome!

As its a new year I decided to start in a new blog as a starting point for setting myself up in business later this year. My original blog will carry on with the personal stuff and anything to do with product reviews and also hints and tips will now appear on here instead.


If you have any questions relating to IT or family history then please post them on here and I will do my best to answer them! Anyone wanting a review done on products or books then please get in touch.
