KEY BOARD SHORTCUTS

ALT+ SPACEBAR--opens control menu (like clicking on the symbol in the top left corner of a window, from which you select (perhaps using mouse, perhaps using arrow keys and enter) among restore, minimize, maximize, close, etc)

SPACEBAR -- hitting this will finalize a selection of an item in a list or an icon on the screen that's only half- selected, i.e., there's a box around the name but full highlighting is not there. Also puts a checkmark or big dot in a little box or circle for you to check one of several options.

ENTER -- will activate a selected item. Hitting Enter with a program icon selected will open the program. with a button highlighted, will activate the "button." It appears highlighted from the heavier line around it, or it might look like a depressed button.

Hitting a letter key will take you to the first item in a dialogue box that begins with that letter. I.E., in open file dialogue box, hit w one or more times  to go to the "Windows" folder in the list of stuff that appears on the C drive. This can save a whole lot of hand action.
CTRL+z -- undo
CTRL+y -- redo
CTRL+a -- select all
CTRL+x --cut
CTRL+c --copy
CTRL+v --paste
CTRL+p – print
CTRL+s --save

CTRL+ALT+DEL--reboots the computer – eventually. First, it'll tell you what's hung up.
CTRL+esc-- same as clicking on the "start button" in the taskbar area of the screen
ALT+F4 shuts down the selected program.
TAB--VERY USEFUL. takes you from one field to another, one "button" to another, one icon to another etc.
SHIFT+TAB -- it tabs you backward
HOME – to beginning of line or far left of field or screen.
END --to end of line, or far right of field or screen.
CTRL+home -- to the top
CTRL+END -- to the bottom
PAGE UP -- moves you up in your document or dialogue box by one page
PAGE DOWN -- moves you down in your document or dialogue list by one page
ARROW KEYS--these will move you about the screen or dialogue box, or menu, not just a document. Modifier keys like CTRL and SHIFT when pressed at same time as arrow keys or page up and page down will perform selection and larger movements. For instance, CTRL + right arrow jumps to next word, and SHIFT+CTRL+RIGHT ARROW selects the whole word.
ESC -- to cancel, or get rid of something like box or window that popped up when you didn't want it (or if you change your  mind) etc.
ALT + the underlined letter in a menu item carries out the action.

SHIFT+F10—like right click, brings up context menu
ALT+TAB—cycles through open applications
[ALT] + down arrow--opens up a "Drop down list" -those little arrows that sit next to fields in which you must make a choice, for instance in the "Look in" field of an "Open" dialogue box.
[ALT] + TAB--holding down the [ALT] and hitting tab cycles you through open applications. Thus, to sign off windows 95: CTRL+ESC, UP, ENTER, ENTER.
