We have already learned. Now it's time to study the keyboard. In order to write a letter, or the request in the Internet search engine, without the keyboard, we can not do. In addition, if you do not work the mouse, you can use the keyboard. It is enough to know a few simple commands. Real programmers and hackers do not work at all. For them, the main tool is the keyboard. Perhaps you will also ever work, but for now we will study the basics of work on the keyboard.

Location of keys

The entire keyboard, depending on the functions, can be visually divided into several groups:

  • Function keys (F1-F12) - Used to perform special tasks. If you re-press the same key, then the action is canceled. The F1 key - calls the help of the program in which you are currently at the moment;
  • Alphanumeric - These are keys with letters, numbers, punctuation and symbols.
  • Control keys- These include keys HomeEnd,PageUp,PageDOWN,Delete. and Insert..

"Hotkeys

You probably heard such an expression. " Hot"They are called because when you click on a combination of these keys, you can quickly call some kind of program or menu.

Each program has its own set of such keys. It is not necessary to memorize them. If you are constantly working in some kind of program, then there is a sense to memorize them. Gradually, we with you many of these combinations will be studied.

In many program windows, when opening any menu, opposite this or that command, the shortcuts are specified to call the same command.

Keyboard shortcuts

Usually such combinations are indicated by the sign + (Plus). For example, Win + E.. This means that you must first press the key WIN.and then key E..

Hot keys lists There are many: for Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac, for Photoshop, for Word, AutoCada, etc.

But not all users of the PC use them.

Why do you need hot keys if there is? Everything happens: can be mouse, and the wireless mouse has a battery.

Sometimes there are problems with software when connecting a new mouse, and the old already "ordered a long time." Yes, and touchpad can bring, and some simply do not know how to contact him correctly, getting used to clicking the mouse.

When you need to do something urgently, and the mouse is useless, knowledge of key combinations may be very by the way. In addition, using them, it is possible to significantly increase productivity when working on a computer.

Here is a dozen most used combinations that you can also successfully apply:

  • First, highlight the text (or image, table).

  • We release the keys, now the dedicated fragment is copied to the clipboard (in the computer's RAM).

Externally, on the computer screen, the procedure does not appear in any way. To "get" from the computer's memory, what we placed there with hot keys to copy:

  • it is necessary to put the cursor to the place where the copied fragment is required, and
  • press the hot keys to insert: Ctrl + V.

With which key combination, you can copy text or objects to the clipboard?

For this, there are hot keys to copy: Ctrl + C and insert: Ctrl + V. You can call them a sweet couple. They are most often used in one bundle, that is, first with Ctrl + C copy the selected fragment, then immediately make it insert with the Ctrl + V keys.

Sometimes Ctrl + F is also called hot keys to find.

Hotkeys - This is the method of interaction of the keyboard with a computer. This method is to execute commands (operations) above the computer using the keys or key combination to which commands are programmed (operations).

It is also worth paying attention to the fact that each program can use their hotkeys that have programmed the developers of this program.
