How to Use Keyboard Shortcuts

Hello and welcome to yet another Cha Cha tutorial. This tutorial is going to be inner media to advance some of the things—I’m going to really try to break it down, but if you don’t understand it just try to watch the video again. I don’t have enough time to reply to all of your questions, I’m sorry. Between the forums, YouTube, and email, I get way to many questions to respond to. So I’m going to do my best to explain it correctly and clearly the first time. First, I’m going to cover some keyboard shortcuts. This kind has to do with not using – using your mails, taking time to move your hands from keyboard to mouse can take time especially if you’re on a laptop. Space bar, so you just tab spacebar like I did, that’s page down. Shift + spacebar is page up. So the spacebar down is Shift + spacebar + up. so there’s the first keyboard shortcut. Ctrl + F is for find, I’m not amazed that only few don’t use this or at least have asked me what it was. In Cha Cha and this is a huge tool. So find the word America, see it highlights it and come down here and click next. Most of you probably know about this tool. Alt + n is for next also and Alt + P is for previous. Ctrl + B is to bookmark a page so 2:06 in the Olympics I’ve gotten a lot of those question so I might as well show you right now. Ctrl + B and I can just save it so now you can back here in the bookmarks and do that. Ctrl + T is a new tab, you guys should all know that by now, I’ve covered that at my other tutorials. Ctrl + N would be a new page but don’t use that. Ctrl + K, let me go back to Google, it’s a little bit better. Ctrl + K it will bring you up to this search part up here if you’ll watch that real quick see. I’ll do it one more time, real fast. If you want to switch the search engine you can hold Ctrl + up or down, like that, very handy. So let’s say you want to search EBay for pot. So you hit Ctrl + K, pot Ctrl + down and you hit enter, so very, very cool. Ctrl + L will take you to the address part like so. Ctrl + W is to close a tab. F5 is to reload a page so if I want to check to see if anything’s changed. Nothing has changed. Tab navigation, Ctrl + Tab will 3:40 quickly, Ctrl + Shift + Tab goes the opposite way and Ctrl + 139, so Google will be one, MSN would be two, Cha Cha would be three and Yahoo! Would be four. So you got to hit Ctrl + 1 for Google Ctrl + two for MSN, three for Cha Cha, and four for yahoo. So see I can switch them in between those pretty quick. So that’s a nice trick and tip. But let’s say all this key board shortcuts, they weren’t your thing. There are also a quite a few nice mouse shortcuts. If you middle click on a link, it opens a new tab, so found here is the summer games page, I click in my middle, it’s actually the scroller button for me, the little roller ball. If you hold shift and scroll down, it will take you to the previous page. I guess I didn’t have a previous page first. So I hold shift and scroll down. Shift scroll up, scroll down, scroll up, scroll down. If you middle click on a tab it will close it. Now, I’ve had a lot of people asking me how I speed up my computer. I have made two tutorials; they’re pretty basic ways just to speed up your computer. But this next trick will speed up your Firefox and what it does, is if you have a broadband connection, and most of us do, well, if you’re using Cha Cha, I assume all of us do, you can use pipelining to speed up your page loads. It basically allows Firefox to load multiple things into your page at once. So basically, were optimizing our proxy settings to do this. Note that you need to be really careful or you may screw up Firefox and have to re install it. So you want to type about: config in your address bar. This might void your warranty. Okay, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I’m going to take that off. I’ll be careful, I promise. Type in network.http and then you need to set your network.http.pipelining to true. As you can see I already have. Now you need to set your http proxy pipelining to true. So you can see I’ve already done that too. Then you just set your network pipelining max request to 30. This will allow it to manage request at once instead of four and one more thing, right click, new, integer and then the preference name nglayout.initialpaint.delay and give it a value of zero. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. So basically, it tells it to act instantaneously. I would caution you not to do this if your machine is a little unstable because it may cause Firefox to crash because you’re basically allowing it to perhaps do more actions that it can handle, depending on your ram or machine. So if you have a medium to a high end PC I would suggest you do this, if not just leave it how it is. So there you have it and I hope this has been a useful tutorial. I will post all of these shortcuts on the side so that you can see them and practice. I hope you continue to become faster and more efficient at Cha Cha. Thanks again.
