I use keyboard shortcuts every single day. Almost twenty years ago I put together a list of keyboard shortcuts. I'm going to print out your list and have it laminated so it will stand up to the heavy use it is sure to get.

I got my first computer in 1997. I played so many computer solitaire games that I got overuse injuries fairly soon. That's when I vowed to use the mouse as little as possible. Drove people crazy by asking them to rack their brains for all the keyboard commands they knew.

Your list is much more comprehensive than mine, and I will give it my full attention. smiley - smiley

It's really really useful!
Just a little warning - my work computer has a Swedish version of Windows, and there not all the commands are the same as in the English version, especially in Office. (Drives me mad when I want to search, and the text goes bold (Ctrl+F), or when I *want* to make it bold (Ctrl+B) and it goes for a search...) And don't get me started on how to insert cross reference links!

However, excellent entry, and I might consider requesting an OS change to English.
