Alt+Tab or Ctrl+Tab
Pressing Alt + Tab switches between open programs moving forward. For example, if you have your browser window open and other programs are running in the background, press and hold the Alt key, then press the Tab key to cycle through each open program.
On Apple computers, instead of using the Alt key, use the Command (Cmd) key. For example, Cmd + Tab to switch between open programs.
Ctrl+Backspace and Ctrl+Left or Right arrow
Note: The following shortcuts are for PC users only and do not work on Apple computers.
Pressing Ctrl + Backspace will delete a complete word at a time instead of a single character.
Holding down the Ctrl key while pressing the left or right arrow key will move the cursor one word at a time instead of one character at a time. If you want to highlight one word at a time, hold down the Ctrl + Shift key and then press the left or right arrow key. Your selection will move one word at a time in that direction.
Ctrl+S
While working on a document or other file in almost any program, pressing Ctrl + S saves that file. Use this shortcut key often if you are working on anything important in case an error occurs, you lose power, or any other issues that could cause you to lose any work since your last save.
On Apple computers, use Cmd + S to save a file.
Ctrl+Home or Ctrl+End
Ctrl + Home will move the cursor to the beginning of the document, and Ctrl + End will move the cursor to the end of a document. These shortcuts work with most documents, as well as web pages.
On Apple computers, use Command and Cmd and the up arrow to get to the beginning of a document or text, or Cmd and the down arrow to get to the end of a document or text.
Ctrl+P
Control+P is used to open a print preview of the page or document you are currently viewing. For example, press Ctrl + P now to see a print preview of this page.
On Apple computers use Cmd + P to open print preview.
Page Up, Spacebar and Page Down
As you might have guessed, pressing either the up or down key will move you to the next or previous page. When browsing the Internet, pressing the spacebar moves the scroll bar down one page. Similarly, Shift + spacebar moves the scroll bar up one page.
