WTF, Ctrl+Backspace?
 

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?

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.

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.

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

give it a try sometimes ;)

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

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

Cntrl+W is better.

in your address bar
type google
ctrl+enter

type revscene
shift+enter

i didnt know this !! and i know a lot of shortcuts
if u are tab browsing and u want to switch to a different tab, press CTRL + TAB
BAM!

the best one i figured out was using tab to skip to next text bar. very useful for online registrations

God damn it....

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

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

:lol

cool, didn't know that.

Middle click on a tab header also closes that tab.

simsimi1004

thx dude

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.

ahahaha... I remember when I was playing dota with a few frds, and in a bid to take out noobs, I typed "press alt+f4 now to get 1000 more gold at the beginning of the game"... then, 3 players disconnected....... :haha:

Ctrl+Shift+Esc

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

So tons of people use Cntrl+Backspace eh?

ctrl + enter is by far my favorite one and I've been using it for like over 10 years. I'm shocked that so many people don't know this one. Even worse when I see people actually type out www.XXXXX.com
