1. Ctrl Z

   Undoes the last thing you did.

2. `win+shift+s` lets you drag a box to screenshot something, you can then `ctrl+v` to paste it. Most websites that you would upload an image to support just pasting it in.

3. alt + tab is an easy way to shuffle through windows.

4. there’s one i learned quite a while back and enjoy using, although it is not needed and has very little actual use

   ¿

   hold *alt*, *168* on the number pad.

   # ¿

   know it makes no sense, but i like it. lol

5. F2 to rename a file (don’t know why this one isn’t stated in the drop-down menu)

6. A lot of what I do on a computer is data entry. So control c and control v are my family

7. Alt tab

8. Alt F4

9. Ctrl-Alt-T reopens the last tab you accidentally closed in Chrome.

   Shift-Ctrl-Alt-T opens all of your last tabs when you accidentally close the entire Chrome browser.

10. Alt-0176 makes the ° symbol.

11. Ctrl + F

12. Win+V will give you a list of all recent copied things instead of just the most recent one.

13. If you’re on Windows, google windows shortcuts or how to shortcut [insert desired task] on Windows. I actually use ctrl + shift + N on desktop a lot.
    Usefulness rating gets the ctrl + arrows or ctrl + shift + arrows while editing text. Gamechanger.
