My Life With IT

I have known the following shortcut keys for all the Windows version.

• ALT + F4
• CTRL + A
• CTRL + C
• CTRL + V
• PRT SCR
• NUM LOCK
• CAPS LOCK

Hang on, the last two aren’t exactly shortcut keys. However, Windows has much more shortcut keys to offer than those that I have used frequently.

• Press Shift key 5 times to turn on or off the Sticky keys. No wonder I had this strange prompt the other time I accidentally pressed five times while contemplating the words that I was trying to type.
• ALT + ESC to cycle through the items in the order that they were opened. Wow.
• CTRL + SHIFT + ESC to show the task bar. No wonder I had to go through one more click when I use CTRL + ALT + DEL.

After looking through the MS Help, I realise how little of the shortcut keys I use. Now I know why my mouse died after a year plus, too much clicking.
