With the coming of the mouse, the keyboard has lost its other uses aside from typing and entering data. But did you know that before the mouse came to exist all commands are done using the keyboard?

Similarly, I have noticed that many people use the backspace, space bar, and the arrows all the time.

Here are some techniques simple techniques I want to share with you today.

If a word is highlighted you can overtype it.  You don’t need to press delete or backspace to clear it. Just type the word you want to replace it.

  The Insert Key

If you press this key you can type over a word or a character without deleting it. Or if you type are typing in the middle of a sentence and it is replacing the characters that you have already type it’s because this key is on. Make sure this is off if you don’t want to use it.

The Home and  End Keys

PressHome and your cursur will go to the beginning of a line on the left. Press End and your cursor will go to the end of the line on the right.

The arrow keys

Press Ctrl and the right arrow and your cursor will skip from one word to the next on the right. Similarly, if you press Ctrl and left arrow your cursor will jump from one word to the next going to the left.

Ctrl and up arrow your cursor will go up one line. Press Ctrl and down arrow your cursor will go down one line.

If you press your cursor will go to the top of the document. If you are in a website it will take you to the home page.

If you press your cursor will go the end of a document.

If you press you will delete the one word to the right.

If you press it will delete a word to the left.
