Yes, that's all true.
But it is important to remember that the keyboard shortcut (Shift + Del) (cut) can be used
in applications (MS Word, Notepad, etc.)
And when performing operations with files in OS Windows (Shift + Del), it deletes files directly without the recycle bin!

There are many lists of hotkeys: for Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac, for Photoshop, for Word, AutoCAD, etc.

But not all PC users use them.

Why do we need hotkeys if there are? Anything can happen: a mouse may break, or a wireless mouse may run out of battery.

Sometimes problems arise with the software when connecting a new mouse, but the old one has already died. And the touchpad can fail, and some people simply don’t know how to handle it correctly, having gotten used to clicking with the mouse.

When you need to do something urgently, and the mouse is useless, knowledge of keyboard shortcuts can come in very handy. In addition, using them, you can significantly increase productivity when working on a computer.

Here are the ten most used combinations that you can also successfully use:

1 . Many people probably know these combinations. Hotkeys Copy:

Ctrl+C or

They are needed to copy a selected piece of text as follows:

  • First, select the text (or picture, table).
  • Then press the Ctrl key and, without releasing it, simultaneously press the key with the letter C (in short it is written like this: Ctrl + C).
  • We release the keys, now the selected fragment is copied to the clipboard (in RAM computer).

The Copy procedure does not appear externally on the computer screen. To “get” from the computer memory what we placed there using the Copy hotkeys:

  • you need to place the cursor in the place where you want to place the copied fragment, and
  • Press the hotkeys Paste: Ctrl + V.

What keyboard shortcut can you use to copy text or objects to the clipboard?

For this there are hotkeys Copy: Ctrl + C and Paste: Ctrl + V. They can be called a sweet couple. They are most often used in one combination, that is, first they copy the selected fragment using Ctrl + C, then immediately paste it using the Ctrl + V keys.

Another sweet pair you can use to Copy Paste is Ctrl + Insert and Shift + Insert. Here, as they say, it's a matter of taste.

2. Ctrl + V or Shift + Insert – hotkeys Insert text or object copied to the clipboard.

3. Ctrl + Z And Ctrl+Y– hot keys Cancel.

Using these commands, you can undo any changes, for example, if you accidentally cut or deleted text.

To cancel multiple latest changes, you need to press one of these combinations (Ctrl + Z, or Ctrl + Y) several times.

Ctrl + X – hotkeys Cut

This combination allows you to cut out what you need and at the same time put it on the clipboard. Then you can paste the cut into the desired place.

4. Ctrl + F– hot keys Search.

A very useful “couple” of keys that opens the search bar in almost any program or browser.

Sometimes Ctrl + F is also called the Find hotkey.

5. Alt + Tab– hot keys switch windows.

Convenient for quickly switching between windows open source software. If this is new to you, just try it. There is a chance that you will prefer this method to your usual mouse.

If you add Shift to these combinations (you get Shift+ Alt+ Tab), you will move in the opposite direction, that is, you can return to the program in which you were in the previous step.

Ctrl+Tab– hotkeys for switching tabs. With their help, you can quickly navigate between tabs in

6. Ctrl + Backspace– hot keys Delete. They will save a lot of time if you need to quickly delete a word while typing. These keyboard shortcuts do not work in Notepad, but they work fine in Word.

We type a word and then, if the word needs to be deleted, just press Ctrl + Backspace. In this case, the entire word is immediately deleted.

7. Ctrl + S– hot keys Save. They are used to quickly save a file in many programs. Use it if you are working on something important, for example, when your laptop battery runs out.

8. Crtl + Home or Crtl+End moves the cursor to the beginning or end of document respectively.

Page navigation keys Page Up(up) and Page Down(down) can replace scrollbar.

9. Crtl + P– hot keys Seal.

Used to open a preview window of the current page in a browser or to call a document print window in text editors.

Most novice computer users, when working with text, use the standard technique of copying and pasting using the mouse, i.e. When the left button is held down, the cursor selects the desired fragment or the entire text; by right-clicking, a context menu is called up, where the item “ Copy».

More advanced users use only for this purpose, which is much more convenient and faster. In this material you will learn how to copy text using the keyboard using the combination.


Now the selected fragment is in, from where it can be pasted into the desired place in Notepad or any other word processing program. Using this method, you can also copy text from sites for subsequent pasting into a text editor or notepad for saving.

It is important to remember that the clipboard only stores the current copy. The next copy will erase the previous fragment in the buffer. There are programs that expand the functionality of the clipboard, allowing you to store multiple copies in its memory, as well as view the contents of the clipboard for selection required test to insert.

To paste text on the clipboard, place the mouse cursor in the desired location, hold down the key Ctrl and press the key V (Ctrl+ V). The text will be instantly inserted into specified place. An analogue of this combination is hot keys Shift+Ins (Insert).

  • Ctrl + C or Ctrl + Ins – copying ;
  • Ctrl+V or Shift+Ins – insert .

Several useful keyboard shortcuts when working with text

  • Ctrl-A – allows you to select all content;
  • Ctrl-X – cutting out a selected piece of text, i.e. copying it to the clipboard, deleting it from where it was. Useful for quickly moving a piece of text to another location in conjunction with the insert keys;
  • Ctrl-Z – canceling the previous operation. Allows you to correct a mistake by going back a step. Double click this combination you can go back two steps, etc. For example, if you accidentally deleted part of your typed text, you can correct the error using these hotkeys.

Now you know how to copy text using the keyboard and you can teach it to your friends and family. Good luck!

Keyboard shortcuts that allow you to perform various operations on a computer were invented before the invention of the graphical interface. With its appearance, the user became accustomed to performing all actions using the mouse, but nevertheless, the “hot keys” were preserved. In this article, we will tell you which buttons to press to copy and paste not only text fragments, but also entire files.

Modifier keys

In addition to the alphanumeric row, the keyboard contains so-called modifier keys. Some of them, such as Shift, are used every day, while others may never be pressed once during the entire life of the keyboard.

The standard set of modifiers includes:

  • Alt - on Mac keyboards it is called Option;
  • Control - the abbreviation Ctrl is often used;
  • Shift, right and left;
  • the “window” key, or the Windows logo (on Macs it is replaced by the Command key).

These four modifiers are present on any keyboard and are used in all operating systems. As can be seen from the above, they differ slightly in names, but their functionality does not change. Knowing what the buttons on the keyboard are for, you can copy and paste any data much faster than using the mouse alone.

Keyboard shortcuts

The method of using and assigning hot keys in different operating systems differs, and as a result they do not always coincide. However, common file operations are called by similar combinations. In our material we will provide combinations for the three most used operating systems.

What buttons do you use to copy and paste in Windows? Windows keyboards- the most common, just like this operating system itself. The copying process in it is carried out using the key combination “Control + C”, and pasting - “Control + V”. The letter buttons are located on the bottom row, close to the Ctrl key, and operation using them is easy.

Speaking about which buttons to copy and paste in the Linux OS family, it should be noted that in the “hot keys” of window management, this system is very different from Windows, but the paste and copy operations are performed in the same way. There are no special keyboards for this OS, so the user does not need to retrain.

Now about which buttons to copy and paste in MacOS. This family of operating systems has its own keyboard. There is no Windows key on it; it is replaced by its own, called Command. The keyboard shortcut for copying is Command + C, and for pasting is Command + V.

What buttons to copy and paste in office packages

Copying and pasting in all versions of text and spreadsheet processors, regardless of their developer, is the same as in the operating system. Within one document, you can quickly move text fragments of the same type without wasting time typing them again. However, if you work with different documents, this option may lead to formatting failures in the text. That's why the best way transferring text between different documents will still be used context menu, not "hotkeys".

In general, knowledge of the keyboard shortcuts that are used to perform the most common file operations will always be useful in your work, or at least not superfluous.

Greetings, dear readers of the blog site! I won’t be mistaken if I say that many ordinary users, when sitting at a computer, never use hotkeys. Most people control their computer by manipulating the mouse. Even many of my friends, to whom I showed some key combinations for speed and convenience of working at the computer, did not immediately understand the point of using them.

The force of habit does not allow many to give up what they are used to. This is how man is made. But, having tried several times to perform this or that operation on the computer using keyboard shortcuts, after a while many begin to use them automatically. I hope that the recommendations listed below for using the keys on the keyboard will be useful to someone and will make it easier to stay at the computer.

Keyboard shortcut.

Hotkeys allow users to optimize their computer work without interrupting creative process for all sorts of nonsense. Using standard keyboard shortcuts, you can quickly execute the necessary commands (undo an action, copy and paste text, take a screenshot, switch the language and even turn off the computer) without being distracted or even looking at the keyboard. By the way, Windows hotkeys operate in almost all applications of this operating system. It doesn't matter whether you're running Windows 7 or Windows XP. Let me give you a simple example of how the undo hotkeys “Ctrl” + “Z” work. To undo the last action, press the left “Ctrl” key and, while holding it, press the English “Z” key. If you want to undo multiple actions, press the "Z" key several times. Moreover, it doesn’t matter what language you have enabled. More often keyboard shortcuts work the same in Russian and English layouts.

Keyboard keys for searching.

It is very convenient to use the search keys “Ctrl” + “F”. They allow you to quickly find a phrase in a document, and working with text is greatly simplified. By the way, search keys can also be used on website pages. When you press "Ctrl" + "F", at the top right in Google Chrome(top left in Opera, bottom in Mazilla) a small window will appear where you can enter the word or phrase you want to find on the page. If such a word is on the page, it will be highlighted in yellow or yellow in your browser. orange. The same line will contain the number of words found on the page, as well as arrows that allow you to quickly move to the next option. Just don't get confused hotkeys search with site search. They only work on the page that is open in your browser.

How to select text using the keyboard.

Hotkey combinations are also used to highlight text. For example, if the text document is very large and you need to select it completely, use mouse cursor not very convenient. It's much easier to press "Ctrl" + "A" and all the text will be selected. To select a piece of text from the cursor to the left or right, press the Shift key and, while holding it, press the ← and → arrows. Each time you press the arrow, the next letter. True, it takes a long time to highlight text this way, but it can be useful. And to select text from the cursor to the beginning or to the end of the line, you can use the combinations “Shift” + “Home” and “Shift” + “End”. In the same way, you can select text from the cursor in entire lines, up or down. To do this, you need to place the cursor in the desired place, press the “Shift” key and, while holding it, use the arrows “” and “↓”. By the way, pressing the opposite arrow removes the selection. To remove the selection, you can click anywhere open document. In some applications, you can deselect using the “Ctrl” + “D” keys, but they do not work everywhere. For example, the virtual keyboard does not respond to this particular combination.

How to copy text using the keyboard.

Many are also interested in what keys to use to copy V different applications. To do this, use the combination “Ctrl” + “C”. The keys work the same way in text documents, in graphic editors and in other programs. It is enough to select the desired fragment with the cursor and copy it using the keys. Moreover, these same keyboard keys are used to copy some files. But there is one caveat. If you want to copy text published on a website, you may not be able to. This is the text copy protection that was installed by the resource owner. About how to copy uncopiable text from such sites, described in more detail in another material.

How to insert text using the keyboard.

To paste text from the clipboard, you can press the hotkeys “Ctrl” + “V”. They also work in different applications. You can use hotkeys paste in text documents or when copying a file. It is especially convenient to use them to insert large number identical objects (for example, characters that you want to use many times in a document).

How to switch the keyboard to English.

We switch the keyboard from Russian to English and vice versa a hundred times a day, without even noticing it. Most often we use for this language switch RU/EN, which is located at the bottom of the screen, on the right, on the taskbar. But it is much more convenient to do this using the keyboard shortcut “Alt” + “Shift”. Over time, you begin to use these keys automatically. You just keep typing on the keyboard and don't think about how to switch to English and back.

How to restart your computer using the keyboard.

There is one more key combination you need to know. If the computer freezes and does not respond to your actions, press the “Ctrl” + “Alt” + “Del” keys simultaneously. A Task Manager window will open, listing all the applications you have running. When you see the “Not working” status opposite any of them, click on the “Cancel task” button.

If the mouse does not work, use the Tab key to select. When the End Task button is highlighted, press Enter. You also need to know what keys You can log out if your mouse is broken. So, to reboot quickly or at all turn off the computer, press the Windows key. It is located at the bottom, on both sides of the keyboard, and displays the logo of this operating system. When the main menu window appears, press the "↓" key until the "Shutdown" button is highlighted. Press "Enter", it will appear standard window"Turn off the computer." Using the “←” and “→” keys, select the “Shutdown” or “Reboot” command and press “Enter”. To cancel this action and return to the system, press "Esc".

Of course, there are other options for keyboard shortcuts to perform various operations on the computer. But in this post I shared the most common ones, which I use all the time myself and recommend to you, my readers. I wish everyone good luck!!
