Keyboard Voodoo

Filed under: Technology — admin @ 9:52 pm

A lot can be done with the keyboard. Using the shift and arrow keys, especially when combined with keyboard shortcuts such as cut and paste, can be a very powerful thing. Even the home and end keys a can help you be more productive with a keyboard.

Shortcuts:

Copy = Ctrl+C
Cut = Ctrl+X
Paste = Ctrl+V

A copy command will copy the selected text and put that in the clipboard.

Clipboard = A magical place where cut and copied computery things live.

Once something is copied you may than paste.
Gif Example

If something is cut it disappears and starts living in the clipboard. It can then be pasted as if it was copied.Even though it’s been pasted a copy of the original cut item is still in the clipboard.

If something else is then copied or cut anything living in the clipboard is killed and replaced.
