15 Keyboard Shortcuts To Enhance Your PC Power User

15 Keyboard Shortcuts To Enhance Your PC Power User

If you fancy yourself a PC power user, you know how valuable it is to keep your hands on the keyboard. Constantly switching between typing and mousing can really slow you down when you're powering through that TPS report.

Lucky for you, the wizards at Microsoft have built some time-saving (if little-known) keyboard shortcuts into their operating systems over the years, with some really handy ones gracing Windows 7 and most modern Web browsers.

If you're aiming to speed up your workflow and impress your colleagues at the same time, check out these little gems.

1. Move the cursor one word at a time

Cut through large swaths of text with this handy trick.

2. Select one word at a time

Similarly, you can highlight entire words in your text without pecking at those arrow keys.

3. Delete entire words

Bulldoze those terrible sentences more efficiently with this shortcut.

4. Select all text on the current line, relative to the cursor

Don't reach for that mouse. Instead of click-dragging the cursor, snap right or left with this fancy method.

5. Minimize all windows

Keep this macro in mind if you tend to browse Facebook at the office.

6. Cycle between windows

If you really want to show off the glitz of Windows 7, give this combo a try.

7. Lock the computer

Stepping away from the screen for a light lunch? Lock that puppy down with one swift stroke, especially if it's April Fool's Day.

8. Launch the Task Manager

Applications acting up on you? Need to check your system's resources? Skip the clicking and get into the Task Manager with this shortcut.

9. Take a screenshot of the active window only

Trimming down screengrabs can be a pain, especially if you have a lot of desktop real estate. This shortcut lets you capture only the window you're working in.

10. Rename a file

Forgo that right-clicking nonsense and give this file renaming trick a shot. It also works great if you've selected multiple files or folders.

11. Zoom in and out

This one works in a variety of applications, including browsers, word processors, and Photoshop, among others.

12. Return to default zoom

When you're ready to return to the normal view, strike this keyboard combo.

13. In browser: open a new tab

This one may be common, but it's worth mentioning if it will save users the effort of clicking up there in a mess of browser tabs.

14. In browser: reopen closed tab

This one can be a life-saver, especially if you've accidentally closed a webpage you've been searching diligently for.

15. In browser: focus cursor on URL/search field

If you need to navigate the Web quickly, this combo will get you moving in two keystrokes.

How to assign a macro to a specific line in a combo box in excel step by step?

How to assign a macro to a specific line in a combo box in excel step by step? I'm just a benniner and I've been struggling with this for a while. I would like to assign a macro to each line so that when it's selected... possible. But normally you would use one macro and use the list index for the combo box. could you please show one simple combo box with a couple of lines and assign a macro to ea. line?

Thanks,

Just use the index number of the combo box as a reference and apply the index to the click event procedure for the combo box. Then you'll want to do a Call procedure to call the appropriate sub. You'll want the sub in the same module. If not, you'll have to specify the module. Try to at least put the sub in the same project or workbook.

For example to call the sub called MySub in another module called Module1 type:

Call Module1.MySub

If it is isn the same module type:

Call MySub

You really don't need to put "Call" in there, but it is good practice so other people or you will know later if you look back at the code that you are calling another subroutine.

So if it was in another module named Module1 within the same project. Then you could put:

Module1.MySub

Instead of having to put:

Call Module1.MySub

Another method you can use is the Run method to call the other sub. It is better for calling subroutines that may be in another workbook.

One suggestion:

For any of the subs that you call. It is a good idea to make them private subs so that people can't view them from the macro list.
