If you have multiple windows open on your computer, there is no need to select another window with the mouse every time.
Do you know these functions of the keyboard?
When using a computer or laptop, people normally use the keyboard solely for typing. Wired and wireless keyboards are available on the market today, providing a wide range of useful functions. However, most people still don't know about the many functions they can perform. Yes, in fact, you can use a keyboard for more than just typing. Let's explore the details.
Much more than copy-paste
In fact, almost every user knows how to copy and paste text using the keyboard. Ctrl+C is used to copy and Ctrl+V to paste. Ctrl+X is used to cut text or a file. If something is done by mistake, pressing Ctrl+Z can undo it, while Ctrl+Y can redo it.
Switch between apps without a mouse.
Additionally, if you have multiple windows open on your computer, there's no need to select each window with your mouse. You can quickly switch between open windows by pressing Alt+Tab on your keyboard. This feature is especially useful when you're working on a browser, Word, and other apps simultaneously.
Easy way to take a screenshot
You can also take screenshots using the keyboard. On Windows computers, the PrtScn button allows you to take a screenshot of the entire screen. Pressing Windows+Shift+S can also select a specific portion of the screen and take a screenshot. This makes it easy to quickly save or share important information.
Quickly open files and folders.
Managing files and folders using the keyboard is also much easier. Pressing Windows+E opens File Explorer. Pressing F2 after selecting a file can also easily rename it. Delete moves the file to the Recycle Bin.
It also helps in running the browser.
Not only that, the keyboard makes many tasks easier when browsing the web. Ctrl+T opens a new tab on the screen, while if you need to close an existing tab, you can do so by pressing Ctrl+W. Furthermore, if a tab is accidentally closed, you can reopen it by pressing Ctrl+Shift+T. Furthermore, for a quick search of a website, you can easily access the address bar by pressing Ctrl+L.
How to lock your computer
If you need to leave the computer for a while, instead of locking the computer with your mouse, you can press Windows+L. This will instantly lock the computer, preventing anyone else from viewing the information on the screen while you're away.
