Hi, today I will be looking at keyboard shortcuts. Now I realize that there’s quite a lot that you could use but the ones I’ve selected are what I feel are the more useful and more productive ones to have. So let’s get to it, the first we could do is alt and tab which is the windows switch, so I will just demonstrate that now, alt and tab. Now as you can see I’ve got two four task opened there, that’s fire fox, calculator, open up this documents and mahjong.
So I could use all I want, I just slip in as a go through them. Okay the next one is the super key and tab which is the flick switcher. Now super key is also known as the windows key, so I will just demonstrate that now, super and tab, so I’m just browsing through the various documents and programs I’ve got open. So see my calculator, want to go back to the any of the other programs that are running. I’ll just press the super key and tab again, to fire fox and into again to open up this document.
Now the next one is a super key and scroll key and all of that just seems to be in the screen really, I will just demonstrate that now. So you press the super key and the scroll wheel, just wheel of the mouse really. And the next one is the control alt and D which shows the desktop. Now this is a toggle function, you press it once, it will show the desktop, press it again it will put things back the way they were before. So I will just demonstrate that now. Control alt delete and there we go, control alt delete, go back to where we were.
The next one is the super key and E, which shows all the workspaces, now we have two workspaces set. So lets just go there now, super and E and as you can see there they are. Okay, this has a toggle function, so you press again and it will go back to what you do before.
Next one is control and A, basically that selects everything, just demonstrate it, control and A. Now the next one is alt and F10, it maximizes the current window and as you can see this open office document is the current windows. I will just minimize that slightly, so as this says, alt F10 maximizes code window and you press alt and then you just let it go. And if you want to minimize that completely you just press alt and F9, to demonstrate you that. Let’s go back to it.
Now the next one is very usual, its control alt and L which locks the screen, what that does is it shuts everything down in terms that it put the screen and what you have to do then if you want to unlock the screen you have to put in your password. So I will just demonstrate that now, control alt and L, now you see the screen saver has kicked in, so all I have to do now is move the mouse and that leads to the password to unlock, so lets do that now.
And they click unlock, now there you go. Alt and F2 opens the run application, so alt and F2 and the final one is control and alt and if you remove the left and right alt key that moves to two spaces, so if this will demonstrate that now. Control alt and left or right, all that is really is moving between the workspaces. We can do it this way as well at the bottom.
Okay, so I hope some of this would be useful to you anyway. I just say this a lot more like you can use but I find this personally more useful, okay, thanks for watching.
