Learning keyboard shortcuts is one of the easiest things you can to speed things up. Left hand keyboard shortcuts like Copy (Ctrl+C), Paste (Ctrl+V), and Undo (Ctrl+Z) have become second nature to me. In fact, unless I’m typing something, my left pinky finger basically lives on the Control key.

A really useful blog I’ve discovered recently is Windows Keyboard Shortcut of the Day and it delivers exactly what you’d expect. Everything from software specific shortcuts like Ctrl+Shift+F to “Select Font” in Microsoft Office applications to Ctrl+A, another second nature shortcut to select all the text in a document, page or text area.

As you might have guessed, the shortcuts on this blog are entirely Windows shortcuts and though some classic shortcuts will work on a Mac (using the Command key instead of Control) some won’t. You have been warned.
