The 6 Most Useful Keyboard Shortcuts You Need to Know

Keyboard shortcuts can save you a lot of time but most people don't even know these.

Obviously there are some programs and operating systems that don't support ALL keyboard shortcuts, but these six work in about every program.

1. CTRL S to Save.

2. CTRL Z to Undo. It's great for word processing, and photo or video editing. If you make a mistake, just hit CTRL Z and things will go back to how they were.

3. CTRL C to Copy, CTRL X to Cut, and CTRL V to Paste. CTRL C saves selected text or images to the Clipboard, and CTRL V pastes them wherever the cursor is. CTRL X deletes selected text or images WHILE saving to the Clipboard.

4. CTRL and the plus sign to Zoom. And CTRL with the minus sign zooms back out.

5. CTRL P to Print.

6. CTRL ALT DELETE to Exit. It'll let you exit out of a frozen program when the mouse isn't working.

For Mac users: Hold down the Command, Option, and Escape buttons. For all of the other shortcuts, just use Command instead of the Control button to do the same things on a Mac.
