Tech Tip of the Week: Keyboard Shortcuts!

Tired of scrolling to the bottom of a website to get to something at the bottom? Take a shortcut instead!

Pressing Command + the down arrow key on Mac, or Ctrl + down arrow on Windows, will instantly take you to the bottom of the page, no matter how long it is. Command or Ctrl + up arrow takes you immediately back to the top. It works sideways, too. Try holding Command or Ctrl with the right or left arrows to go promptly to the beginning or ending of the line of text or a row in a spreadsheet.

Here are other shortcuts for Windows and Mac that are also useful! (Mac keys are on right side with ⌘ symbol).

Print: Control (Ctrl) + P; Command (⌘) + P.
Copy: Ctrl + C; ⌘ + C.
Paste: Ctrl + V; ⌘ + V.
Save: Ctrl + S; ⌘ + S.
Open new windows: Ctrl + N; ⌘ + N.
Open new tabs: Ctrl + T; ⌘ + T.
Hide windows: Windows key + M; ⌘ + Option + H + M.
Screen shot: Windows key + Print Screen; ⌘ + Shift + 3.
