CTRL+S (Save)
Many programs include auto-save features that save your work every few minutes. However, it is a good idea to manually save your work every so often, just in case. Also, not every program has this feature, so being in the habit of manually saving your work can end up saving you a lot of trouble in the long-run. Using the keyboard shortcut allows you to keep your fingers on the keyboard and still ensure that you won’t lose anything in the event your computer or the program you’re working in crashes.
CTRL + Z (Undo)
One of the best parts of using a computer to enter content whether it be text or photos is the ability to undo a mistake quickly and painlessly. Using the CTRL+Z shortcut, you can do just that. Hitting CTRL+Z several times will often undo the last several changes. If you back too far, hit CTRL+Y to Redo.
CTRL+C (Copy), CTRL+V (Paste)
For those who do a lot of copying and pasting, the keyboard shortcuts are a big time-saver. Just use the mouse to select what you want to copy, hit CTRL+C, click the mouse where you want to paste, and hit CTRL+V. If you want to move something instead of copy it, you can use CTRL+X (Cut) instead of CTRL+C.
CTRL++(Zoom in)
If the text on a website or other program is too small, instead of squinting, simply hit CTRL++ (plus sign) a few times. This will increase the zoom level in most browsers and some programs.
CTRL+ALT+DEL or CMD+OPT+ESC (OS X)
If your computer freezes and no amount of mouse clicking is helping, you can hit CTRL+ALT+DEL. This either brings up Windows Task Manager, or a list of options including Task Manager. Using the Task Manager, you can quit and restart programs that sluggish or unresponsive.
If you are using a Mac and a program freezes, press the CMD+OPT+ESC keys, select the unresponsive program and force quit. Then you can restart the program to get back to work.
