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.

Cntrl+Backspace deletes the entire word rather than letter by letter! My mind is blown!

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.:D

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

[fishing666]

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

[!oHenry]

Cntrl+W is better.


God damn it....

[mr_baboon]

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.

Middle click on a tab header also closes that tab.

i love these short cut, found it useful

[freakshow]

good post simsimi.. although I think many of those only apply to W7

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

simsimi1004

thx dude

[Gumby]

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!
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.

[Hehe]

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

give it a try sometimes ;)

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:

[hotong]

Ctrl+Shift+Esc

[van_driver]

Cntrl+W is better.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[LiquidTurbo]

So tons of people use Cntrl+Backspace eh?

[winson604]

in your address bar
type google
ctrl+enter

type revscene
shift+enter

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

[LiquidTurbo]

no man.. even worse I see people who type out "http://

Curse you

Ctrl + Shift + T

Restores a closed browser window if you accidentally CTRL+W 'ed it. :thumbsup:

And if you're using a kickass browser like Chrome, you can even restore it even if
you closed the entire chrome browser.

If you have 4 tab open, and you accidentally click the X and close everything.
Open a new browser, Ctrl+Shit+T, and you get all 4 tabs back.

Not sure if Firefox can do this.

gah :)

SOmebodies gotta say it but even the way you do it is annoying. All you need to type is google and hit ctrl + enter . FYI ctrl + enter only applies to .com's so for .net etc is a different set of hot keys =)

[JqC]

I get annoyed how people still type www.

Just type Google.com, yahoo.com, cnn.com , revscene.net it will get you there.. no need for www!!!

you don't need WWW

gah :)

you don't even need to type out the .com part now. Just type in "google" in the address bar then hit ctrl + enter. Automatically puts in the rest for you.

try going to sfu.ca without the triple w

[simsimi1004]

also another trick from wayback

if you bookmark a page and have a custom name for that bookmark,
just type in that name in the adress bar and it will take you to the bookmarked page

[Blinky]

www depends on the way the webserver is set up. I have visited some sites (not the big ones such as yahoo, google etc) which require the www.

[Blinky]

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

Try ctrl/shift/tab to go backwards. It also works in googhole chrome.

[LUUUUUUUU]

I hate it when that shit gets me sometimes... :fuuuuu:

[AzNightmare]

I tried this but it didn't work:p

Doesn't work cause I said "Shift" and you didn't Shift.

The thing is, some people (or maybe just me) can type ".com" faster than sliding my hand to the right, to press Ctrl+Enter.
And I use google.ca so it's a bit faster than .com by one key stroke. lol
Then again, I barely go to google, since typing in the url bar is like searching on google, and if I Alt + Home key, it goes to my
home site, which is set to google.ca

did not know this... lol thx!

HE QUIK BROWN FO JUPS OER HE LA DOG

Not bad... can most standard keyboard do this? Cause I have a gaming keyboard.



Another useful one is Alt + D
Puts your cursor to the URL bar, so you don't have to move your mouse to click it when you want to go to a new site.

wtf... lol!

[LiquidTurbo]

Alt + D owns. Love that one. Use it all the time to go to new websites and everything. I prefer navigating via keyboards rather than mouse movements.

[LUUUUUUUU]

i have a logitech G15 (gen 1) and i can type that with no errors

[Shun Izaki]

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

but but... i can type the www. and .com faster than i can move my hands to press ctrl+enter.

[slammer111]

In Firefox: middle click on links to open them in a new tab... Might also work for IE if anybody still uses it.Wow, this one I did not know. Always did Ctrl + L-click. Sweet, now I can eat wings while opening new tabs, frees up the L hand. :D

Here's my contribution.. (these are for Windows)

1) To minimize all your windows in a hurry, hit Windows + D. (D for Desktop)
2) To run something, instead of Start -> Run, hit Windows + R.
3) To delete something permanently (instead of sending it to the Recycle Bin then having to empty it) use Shift + Del instead of Del.

3) To delete something permanent (instead of sending it to the Recycle Bin then having to empty it) use Shift + Del instead of Del.
I do that (permanent delete) by default and without thinking - so it can be dangerous! :)

alt+D does nothing on chrome ??

[AzNightmare]

^ it should work on Chrome, and all other browsers.

Pro tip:

If you want to speed up your computer, a quick way to do so is by deleting your system32 folder in your Windows folder. It only contains old DLL files and such that aren't used anymore after you uninstall programs but loading them slows down your boot-up time.

[simsimi1004]

^^ holy shit
now i can run programs without lag that had lag before.

[AzNightmare]

so deleting system32 really works?

I did a google search and some people are suggesting otherwise. ??

[Greenstoner]

delete the file in "system32" or the whole folder itself ?

Sorry, I gotta say something here. Guys, I sure hope you don't actually do this. Well, doing so will wreck your OS and require a reinstall, which will make your PC faster in most cases. :)

Actually if you want to clean out junk in your system, I'd recommend www.ccleaner.com. Empties out junk like your browsing cache (works for IE + Firefox + Chrome and others I'm sure), temp folders, Recycling bin etc.. I run it every once in a while and it's a relatively tiny program. You can also remove Registry errors automatically too. :thumbsup:

there are some files you can delete under windows folder follow this instruction :) - you're responsible for your own action though . I did follow this guide on my 4GB EEE 701 and it works great

another one I often look up is what services to turn off. if you are smart and patient to change it gradually then you know what services you need and what services you don't need. speed up my XP boot to 27 seconds
