The mouse is so much better than a touch-screen - hate them.

Haven't read the article, but the ones I often use and find really helpful (other than the FN keys)...

1. Windows+E
2. Alt+Tab
3. Ctrl+C/V/X
4. Ctrl+T/W (tabbed web-browsing)
5. Windows
6. Ctrl+left/right key
7. Ctrl+Shift+left/right key
8. F2 (MS Excel)
9. Alt+F4
10. Menu key

 

Keyboard shortcuts really save time!

There are many ways to quick-launch something, but this is built in to the OS.

​

When you look at the Properties box of a shortcut, there is an entry for Shortcut Key:

You can use CTRL + ALT or CTRL + SHIFT followed by a letter. That keystroke combination will start your program.

You can also use this to open a particular folder:

Once set up, it's a quick way to start things with a keystroke combo.
