Concordia University Texas is using the Hybrid-Flexible (Hy-Flex) model for the Fall 2020 semester, which gives students the option of attending classes in person or remotely on a day-to-day basis.
College students have the option to continue their education wherever conditions are optimal for them.
You are a frequent computer user whether you go to a brick-and-mortar university or take courses online. I’ve compiled a list of 30 keyboard shortcuts for PCs that will save you time and effort.
As such, if you use computers on a regular basis, you should familiarise yourself with the following eight keyboard shortcuts (quick note: as a PC user, I’ve given some precedence to PC commands in my explanations, but I’ve tried to include each command with PC and Mac controls. Please accept my apologies in advance if any Mac users find this offensive; I recognize that you are also human beings.

Use Control+F or Command+F to search
This one should probably come first, given its prominence in the preceding data.
Using the standard keyboard shortcuts (Control + F on a Mac, or Command + F on Windows), you may swiftly search any website using any popular online browser. Browse the entire page to find any references to it.
When looking for certain terms in lengthy papers, I always turn to this method. It’s compatible with PDFs and Microsoft Word documents.

In addition, you can copy by pressing Control + C or Command + C.
If all keyboard shortcuts were gorillas, CTRL+C would be the silverback, the leader of the group.
It’s the standard method of copying text in practically any word processor.
Many common keyboard shortcuts in other programs have their roots in Microsoft Word, but I’d wager that CTRL+C is the most widely used (no, I don’t have any data to back this up; it’s just how I feel).

Paste with CTRL+V/Command+V
It stands to reason that if you replicate something, you would want to use it elsewhere.
One of the most useful keyboard shortcuts is the copy-and-paste combination of Control-C and Control-V. Most users will make frequent use of this feature, whether it’s to copy and paste e-mail addresses, text from Excel into Word, or objects in Photoshop.
-
The number four shortcut for creating new documents is the CTRL+N / Command+N combination.
It’s possible that you’re already making use of this feature in Word. Did you also know that pressing CTRL+N in your browser will do the same thing?
To make a new folder in Windows Explorer, just press CTRL+N.
-
Press Control + S (Mac: Command + S) to Save
Put up your hand if you’ve ever had an important document disappear without a backup. A lot of modern software has crash recovery mechanisms to prevent data loss in the event of an unexpected program exit.
Unfortunately, these are not perfect. There is a chance that auto-recover won’t preserve all of your recent work, and it won’t operate at all with some apps.
Always put money aside. If you need to take a brief break from typing, pressing CTRL+S will save your work so you can return to it later. Form this into a routine, and you will be pleased with the results.
-
Shutdown (Option + F4 / Command + Q)
Here is an underutilized yet useful phrase. If you have a lot of programs open and you need to shut them down quickly, here is the solution.
Simply press ALT+F4 (or CTRL+W on some PCs) in each one before closing (but first save your work! ) (Refer to the final sentence.)
-
Use the TAB key to navigate a form.
I’m sure you can relate to the agonizingly slow torture of filling out a lengthy credit card form if you shop online as often as I do.
Booking a flight, completing a survey, or signing up for service are all examples of online activities that feature numerous text entry boxes.
The TAB key comes in handy when filling out online forms because it skips to the next field.

Tab+Space = form submission
At the end of the form, you will see a “Send” or “Submit” or “Register” or “Next” button, depending on the context.
With a simple TAB, you can select the button after the final text field. By pressing the Space bar to act as a “click,” you can submit a form without ever touching the mouse.

I can’t promise it will always work, but it has a 60% success rate.
You should be able to get through some of your applications faster and get more done as a result. Of course, it’s possible that I forgot a useful keyboard shortcut; if so, please let the world know about it by leaving a comment.
