Shortcuts
Okay, here's some very useful shortcuts, descendingly ordered by subjective importance.
| Shortcut | Keyboard Combination | Usage |
|---|---|---|
| Undo & Redo | CTRL + Z, CTRL + Y | The bread and butter shortcuts for everyone who messes up sometimes (which is everyone). This works in almost all software ever created by the way. |
| Copy Commands | CTRL + C, CTRL + X, CTRL + V | The C copies, the X cuts, and the V pastes. I hope you knew this already, but if you didn't, make use of it! |
| Fancy keyboard navigation | CTRL and Arrow Keys | Instead of trying to move your mouse exactly behind that word, try to get used to pushing your cursor around with the arrow keys. If you use CTRL and the arrow keys (to the ← left or the right →), you jump between words instead of letters. This works everywhere by the way. |
| Make heading | Alt + 1, Alt + 2, Alt + 3 | This makes the selected piece of text a level 1 heading. Can be used with 2 and 3 as well. Very useful for quickly structuring your document! |
| Show paragraphs and stuff | CTRL + Shift + * | This shortcut shows you linebreaks, tabs, pagebreaks and formatting. Very useful when you're trying to figure out why your document is a mess. |
| Page Break | CTRL + Enter | Inserts a pagebreak, saves you the trouble of inserting to many line breaks. |
