I love my keyboard shortcuts…why? It is the ultimate in computing productivity. I mean, seriously, if I could save a half a second every time I have to perform a specific function by simply avoiding the necessity to: stop what I’m doing, pull my right hand away from the keyboard, and then find the mouse to change a window or cut and paste… then those “ha-seconds” saved actually add up to a lot!

I don’t know if it’s because of my distant programming days or if it’s just advanced stage laziness (I believe the latter), but I think if the millions of computer users out there in this world were to save a couple seconds a day…what do you think that would do to this nations productivity quotient? I’m not going to get into the actual statistics for fear of appearing even geekier than I already probably do now… But, trust me, it’s a lot of time saved.

But there’s a lot of these shortcuts. So instead of trying to cram it all into one big post, I’m going to break it down to an on-going series of bite-size pieces so that anyone can master these shortcuts without being overwhelmed.

With browser tabs, you can now keep your thoughts and online researching congruent and focused…all in one window. Click here to read more…
