Introduction


Windows 7 includes a lot of new keyboard shortcuts that are unknown for a new user. This eBook comprises of more than 200 keyboard shortcuts containing almost
all the keyboard shortcuts that are available in Windows 7 and its default programs. Keyboard  shortcuts  are  amalgamation  of  two  or  more  keys  that  when  pressed together  performs  a  task  that  would  typically  require  a  mouse  or  other  pointing device. Keyboard shortcuts can make it easier to interact with your computer, saving your time and effort when you work with Windows and other programs.

Most programs also provide accelerator keys that can make it easier to work with menus and other commands available in the program for users. Check the menus of programs for accelerator keys. If a letter is underlined in a menu item, which usually means that pressing the Alt key in combination with the underlined key will have the same effect as clicking that menu item.

Pressing the Alt key in some programs, such as Paint, WordPad or MS Office 2007 shows commands that are labeled with additional keys that you can press to use them.



What is Keyboard & how to use it?


Whether you have to write anything like a letter or have to calculate numerical data, your keyboard is the main way to enter information into your computer. But did you know you can also use your keyboard to control your computer? Learning just a few simple keyboard commands (Shortcuts to your computer programs) can help you work more efficiently.

This key book explains the basics of keyboard operation and gets you started with keyboard  commands.  Now  let’s  discuss  about  the  fundamental  aspects  of  a
Keyboard.



How the keys are organized on a standard Keyboard


The  keys  on  your  keyboard  can  be  divided  into  several  groups  based  on  their functions:

• Typing (alphanumeric) keys: These keys include the letter, number, punctuation, and symbol keys that we use mostly in our daily life.
• Control keys: These keys are used alone or in combination with other keys to perform certain actions. The most frequently used control keys are Ctrl, Alt, the Windows logo key, and Esc.
• Function keys: The function keys are used to perform specific tasks. They are labeled as F1, F2, F3, and so on, up to F12. The functionality of these keys differs from program to program.
• Navigation keys: These keys are used for navigate in a long window pane such
as documents or webpages and editing text. They include  the arrow keys, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, Delete, and Insert.
• Numeric keypad: The numeric keypad is handy for entering numbers quickly.
The keys are grouped together in a block like a conventional calculator or an adding machine.

The following picture shows how these keys are arranged on a typical keyboard. Your keyboard layout might be different.



Typing & editing the text using Keyboard


Whenever you need to type something in a program, e-mail message or text box typing  keys  of  a  keyboard  are  used.  You  can  move  the  cursor  by  clicking  in  the desired  location  with the  mouse, or  by  using  the  navigation keys  present on  the keyboard.

In addition to letters, numerals, punctuation marks, and symbols, the typing keys also include Shift, Caps Lock, Tab, Enter, the Spacebar, and Backspace keys.


Key name How to use it
Press Shift in combination with a letter to type an uppercase letter.

Shift




Caps Lock



Tab


Enter

Press Shift in combination with another key to type the symbol shown
on the upper part of that key.
Press Caps Lock once to type all letters as uppercase. Press Caps Lock again to turn this function off. Your keyboard might have a light indicating whether Caps Lock is on.
Press Tab to move the cursor several spaces forward. You can also press
Tab to move to the next text box on a form.
Press Enter to move the cursor to the beginning of the next line. In a dialog box, press Enter to select the highlighted button.


Spacebar Press the Spacebar to move the cursor one space forward.

Press Backspace to delete the character before the cursor, or the

Backspace


selected text.





Using keyboard shortcuts


Keyboard shortcuts are ways to perform actions by using your  keyboard. They're called shortcuts because they help you work faster. In fact, almost any action or command you can perform with a mouse can be performed faster using one or more keys on your keyboard.

In this key book, a plus sign (+) between two or more keys indicates that those keys should be pressed in combination. For example, Ctrl+A means to press and hold Ctrl and press A. Ctrl+Shift+A means to press and hold Ctrl and Shift and then press A.

Find program shortcuts


You can do things in most programs by using the keyboard. To see which commands have keyboard shortcuts, open a menu. The shortcuts (if available) are shown next to the menu items.



























Choose menus, commands, and options


You can open menus and choose commands and other options using your keyboard.

In a program that has menus with underlined letters, press Alt and an underlined



letter to open the corresponding menu. Press the underlined letter in a menu item to

choose  that  command.  For  programs  that  use  the  Ribbon,  such  as  Paint  and

WordPad, pressing Alt overlays (rather than underlines) a letter that can be pressed.

























This trick works in dialog boxes too. Whenever you see an underlined letter attached
to an option in a dialog box, it means you can press Alt plus that letter to choose that option.

Using the keyboard extras

Except the traditional keys, a keyboard has many extra useful keys on it. Modern keyboards   even   have   dedicated   application   keys   like   for   starting   calculator, controlling Windows Media Player functions or Internet browsing functions. Here is the list of some most common extra keys.

Using navigation keys


The navigation keys allow you to move the cursor, move around in documents and webpages, and edit text. The following is the list stating some common functions of these keys.


Press this To do this


Left Arrow, Right
Arrow, Up Arrow, or
Down Arrow


Home


End

Move the cursor or selection one space or line in the
direction of the arrow, or scroll a webpage in the direction
of the arrow

Move the cursor to the beginning of a line or move to the top of a webpage
Move the cursor to the end of a line or move to the bottom
of a webpage


Ctrl+Home Move to the top of a document
Ctrl+End Move to the bottom of a document
Page Up Move the cursor or page up one screen

Page Down Move the cursor or page down one screen

Delete the character after the cursor, or the selected text; in

Delete




Insert

Windows, delete the selected item and move it to the
Recycle Bin

Turn Insert mode off or on. When Insert mode is on, text
that you type is inserted at the cursor. When Insert mode is
off, text that you type replaces existing characters.





Using the numeric keypad


The  numeric  keypad  arranges  the  numerals  0  to  9,  the  arithmetic  operators  + (addition), - (subtraction), * (multiplication), and / (division), and the decimal point as they  would  appear  on  a  calculator  or  adding  machine.  These  characters  are duplicated  elsewhere  on  the  keyboard,  of  course,  but  the  keypad  arrangement allows  you  to  rapidly  enter  numerical  data  or  mathematical  operations  with  one hand.

Numeric keypad


To use the numeric keypad to enter numbers, press Num Lock. Most keyboards have

a light that indicates whether Num Lock is on or off. When Num Lock is off, the numeric keypad functions as a second set of navigation keys (these functions are printed on the keys next to the numerals or symbols). You can use your numeric
keypad to perform simple calculations with Calculator.



Three odd keys


So  far,  we've  discussed  almost  every  key  you're  likely  to  use.  But  for  the  truly inquisitive, let's explore the three most mysterious keys on the keyboard: PrtScn, Scroll Lock, and Pause/Break.

PrtScn (or Print Screen)


A long time ago, this key actually did what it says—it sent the current screen of text

to your printer. Nowadays, pressing PrtScn captures an image of your entire screen

(a "screen shot") and copies it to the Clipboard in the computer's memory. From there you can paste it (Ctrl+V) into Microsoft Paint or another image editing program and, if you want you can print it from that program.

More  obscure  is  SYS  RQ,  which  shares  the  key  with  PrtScn  on  some  keyboards. Historically, SYS RQ was designed to be a "system request," but this command is not
enabled in Windows.



Tip


• Press Alt+PrtScn to capture an image of just the active window, instead of the
entire screen.





ScrLk (or Scroll Lock)


In most programs, pressing Scroll Lock has no effect. In few programs, pressing Scroll Lock changes the behavior of the arrow keys and the Page Up and Page Down keys; pressing these keys causes the document to scroll without changing the position of the cursor or selection. Your keyboard might have a light indicating whether Scroll
Lock is on.



Pause/Break

This  key  is  rarely  used.  In  some  older  programs,  pressing  this  key  pause’s  the program or, in combination with Ctrl, stops it from running like what Alt+F4 do now.

Other keys


Some modern keyboards also called as Multimedia keyboards come with "hot keys"

or buttons that give you quick, one-press access to programs, files, or commands like calculator.  Many  models  have  volume  controls,  scroll  wheels,  zoom  wheels,  and other gadgets. For details about these features, check the information that came
with your keyboard or computer, or go to the manufacturer's website.



Some Useful Tips


Since many of us are addicted to the computes and they are now integral part of our life. So, to avoid any type of stress, bad conditions, time wastage or body pain give a read to some of these tips.


    Use your keyboard safely

Using your keyboard properly can help avoid distress or injury to your wrists, hands, and arms, particularly if you use your computer for long periods of time. Here are some tips to help you avoid problems:

• Place your keyboard at elbow level. Your upper arms should be relaxed at your sides.
• Center your keyboard in front of you. If your keyboard has a numeric keypad, you can use the spacebar as the centering point.
• Type with your hands and wrists floating above the keyboard, so that you can use  your  whole  arm  to  reach  for  distant  keys  instead  of  stretching  your fingers.
• Avoid resting your palms or wrists on any type of surface while typing. If your keyboard has a palm rest, use it only during breaks from typing.
• While typing, use a light touch and keep your wrists straight.

• When you're not typing, relax your arms and hands.

• Take short breaks from computer use every 15 to 20 minutes.



    Create keyboard shortcuts to open programs


You can also create keyboard shortcuts to open programs. Opening programs this way is often simpler than opening them using your mouse or other pointing device.
Before you get started, you need to create a shortcut for the program to which you



want to assign a keyboard shortcut. To do this, open the folder that contains the

program, right-click the program's executable file, and then click Create Shortcut.


Follow these simple to create keyboard shortcut to open a program:


1.  Locate the shortcut to the program for which you want to create a keyboard shortcut.
2.  Right-click the shortcut and then click Properties.

3.  In the Shortcut Properties dialog box, click the Shortcut tab.

4.  Click in the Shortcut key box, press the key on your keyboard that you want to use in combination with Ctrl+Alt (keyboard shortcuts automatically start with Ctrl+Alt),  and  then  click  OK. If  you  are  prompted  for  an  administrator
password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.



Notes


• The word none appears in the Shortcut key box until you press a key; then it's replaced with Ctrl+Alt+the key that you pressed.

• The new shortcut might not work for programs that have their own keyboard shortcuts.

• You cannot use the Esc, Enter, Tab, Spacebar, PrtScn, Shift, or Backspace keys
to create a keyboard shortcut.

• You can also create keyboard shortcuts to open files and folders.


     Make the keyboard easier to use
You can use your keyboard to control the mouse and make it easier to type certain

key  combinations.  Windows  7  make  it  much  easier  to  control  every  bit  of  your computer, you can also adjust these settings to make the keyboard easier to use, follow the steps to do so:

1.  Go to Control Panel and open Ease of Access Center.

2.  Select the options that you want to use:


• Turn on Mouse Keys: This option sets Mouse Keys to run when you log

on to Windows. Instead of using the mouse, you can use the arrow keys on your keyboard or the numeric keypad to move the pointer.
• Turn on Sticky Keys: This option sets Sticky Keys to run when you log

on to Windows. Instead of having to press three keys at once (such as when you must press the Ctrl, Alt, and Delete keys together to log on to Windows), you can use one key by turning on Sticky Keys and adjusting the settings. This way, you can press a modifier key and have it remain active until another key is pressed.
• Turn on Toggle Keys: This option sets Toggle Keys to run when you log

on to Windows. Toggle Keys can play an alert each time you press the



Caps Lock, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock keys. These alerts can help prevent

the frustration of inadvertently pressing a key and not realizing it.

• Turn on Filter Keys: This option sets Filter Keys to run when you log on

to Windows. You can set Windows to ignore keystrokes that occur in rapid succession, or keystrokes that are held down for several seconds unintentionally.
• Underline  keyboard  shortcuts  and  access  keys:  This  option  makes keyboard access in dialog boxes easier by highlighting access keys for the controls in them.
• Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen: This option prevents windows from automatically resizing and docking along the sides of your screen when you move them there.

      Type without using the keyboard (On-Screen Keyboard)

Instead of relying on the physical keyboard to type and enter data, you can use On- Screen  Keyboard.  On-Screen  Keyboard  displays  a  visual  keyboard  with  all  the standard keys. You can select keys using the mouse or another pointing device, or
you can use a single key or group of keys to cycle through the keys on the screen.



1.  Go  to  Control  Panel,  open  Ease  of  Access  center  and  select  On-Screen

Keyboard.

2.  To use the On-Screen Keyboard, select the mode you want, following modes are available:


Typing mode Description
Click on keys In clicking mode, you click the on-screen keys to type text.
In hovering mode, you use a mouse or joystick to point to a key for

Hover over
keys



Scan through
keys


a predefined period of time, and the selected character is typed automatically.
In scanning mode, On-Screen Keyboard continually scans the
keyboard and highlights areas where you can type keyboard
characters by pressing a keyboard shortcut, using a switch input
device, or using a device that simulates a mouse click.



Notes


• If you're using either hovering mode or scanning mode and accidently
minimize On-Screen Keyboard, you can restore it by pointing to it in the taskbar (for hovering mode) or by pressing the scan key (for scanning mode).
• If you're using a mouse click to select a key in the Scan through keys mode, the mouse pointer must be located over On-Screen Keyboard.
• The keyboard layout changes in On-Screen Keyboard depending on the language displayed in the active program.





    Set On-Screen Keyboard to use for various handy tasks:

1.  Open On-Screen Keyboard.
2.  On-Screen  Keyboard  make  an  audible  click  when  a  key  is  pressed  Click
Options, select the Use click sound check box, and then click OK.
3.  Use  a  numeric  key  pad  to  enter  numbers  with  On-Screen  Keyboard.  Click
Options, select the Turn on numeric key pad check box, and then click OK.
4.  When text prediction is enabled, as you type, On-Screen Keyboard displays a
list  of  words  that  you  might  be  typing.  Click  Options,  select  the  Use  Text
Prediction check box, and then click OK.



If you don't want to automatically add a space after you insert a word using

text prediction, clear the Insert space after predicted words check box, and then click OK.

Notes

• Text prediction is only available in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish. To enable text prediction in a specific language, you must first install additional language files for that language.
• Text prediction isn't included in Windows 7 Home Basic.
