  1. Trust me I know most of you don't care about shortcuts, "just let me click," however, the old timers remember using commands and shortcuts and should appreciate this.

    QUESTION: What does holding the CTRL key down while rolling your mouse wheel do?

    I know hundreds of these little things, makes taking classes a little harder because you teachers teach menus. I know how to do it, but where is it in the menu?

  2. I had been learning keyboard shortcuts even before working with Windows computers. I used to have an old black and white mac. So, before any Windows or anyone would teach shortcuts, I was already familiar with Cntrl+ shortcuts. Although I remember being able to create alternate character keystrokes using the keyboard too from just a couple keys. Now I have to use Alt+ to use the same keystrokes. ♪♫

  3. Thank you for the short cuts. I like using shortcuts, I guess it goes back to being "old enough" that my first computer did not run Windows.
