I have to start somewhere so starting with something simple! During my years working in schools I discovered that it was things like learning basic keyboard shortcuts that made people’s lives a lot easier.
So here are the most important shortcuts you can learn:
| Name | Windows | Mac | Result |
| Copy | Ctrl+C | Cmd+C | Copies selected item |
| Paste | Ctrl+V | Cmd+V | Pastes the last item you copied/cut |
| Cut | Ctrl+X | Cmd+X | Deletes selected item and holds to paste elsewhere |
| Select All | Ctrl+A | Cmd+A | Highlights all the items on the page so you can quickly copy/cut or delete |
There are many more shortcuts that each application uses but the the four above are the ones that you will use on an almost daily basis.
More tips to come and please feel free to prompt me with a question!
