Some Useful Keyboard Shortcuts

Very good Darren. Knew most of those. One I use a lot that's not there is ctrl-N, particularly when I want to do some file shuffling. I remember being a little gob smacked when I finally found out how to use the PrtScn key. If only it had on it PrtScn>Paste

PrtScn copies the whole screen display to the clipboard, Alt-PrtScn copies the active window only. You can then open MS Paint in the Accessories, and Paste the image. You can then save it as at bitmap (.bmp) or a JPEG (.jpg) image. These images can then be attached to an email or posted in a forum. Before saving, you can add text and lines in MS Paint.

Well, that's amazing, Peter. Just tried it out. I've been looking at this keyboard for years & didn't know that trick.I've always used an add-on screen capture programme to do it. Very handy to know, thanks.

Cheers, Willie.
