WTF, Ctrl+Backspace?

[LiquidTurbo]

I can't believe I went my entire life without knowing this computer shortcut.

Cntrl+Backspace deletes the entire word rather than letter by letter!





Did you guys know about this?

[ajax]

To start press any key. Where's the "any" key? I see Esc, Catarl, and Pig Up. There doesn't seem to be any "any" key. Wo! All this computer hacking is making me thirsty. I think I'll order a Tab.

Did you guys know about this?

u know u can also highlight an entire sentence, hit backspace, and the entire sentence disappears! ZZOMG!111!!111!!111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no really tho, ctrl+del also works too, but it deletes the entire word after the cursor.

[orange7]

did you also know alt+f4 is a quick way to save your documents?

give it a try sometimes

[LiquidTurbo]

^.. that involves a mouse or three buttons being pressed.. Cntrl+Shift+arrows. Then a backspace.

Dunno why I found this so amusing. Must be because its late.

In Firefox: middle click on links to open them in a new tab... Might also work for IE if anybody still uses it.

[simsimi1004]

^^ works for IE too
ctrl + left click does the same thing.

BAM!

That only goes in one direction, left to right, and works in IE and Firefox.

In Firefox, CTRL + Page Up or Page Down allows you to switch between tabs in both directions.
