Good day.
Have you ever wondered why different users spend different time on the same operations in Windows? And the point here is not the speed of possession of the mouse - just some use the so-called Hotkeys(replacing several mouse actions), while others, on the contrary, do everything with the mouse (edit / copy, edit / paste, etc.).
Many users do not attach importance to keyboard shortcuts (note: several keys pressed simultaneously on the keyboard) meanwhile, with their use - the speed of work can be increased at times! In general, there are hundreds of different keyboard shortcuts in Windows, it makes no sense to memorize and consider all of them, but I will give the most convenient and necessary ones in this article. I recommend to use!

PS
Actually, that's all I have. I recommend the most useful keys, marked in green, to remember and use everywhere, in any programs. Thanks to this, you will not notice how you will work faster and more efficiently!
By the way, the listed combinations work in all popular Windows: 7, 8, 10 (most of them also in XP). Thanks in advance for additions to the article. Good luck to all!
Hello, dear readers of the blog site! Probably, many users, even beginners, are aware of the existence of so-called hot keys in the Windows OS (they are also called fast, which reflects the essence).
But only a few take full advantage of the benefits they provide when interacting with applications, files () or when browsing the Internet through browsers (in this article I will mention Chrome, Opera, Mazila and IE as the most popular).
I think that the lion's share of readers is quite aware of what is at stake. But, bearing in mind that this blog was originally created for those who are just starting their difficult journey of mastering modern technologies, I will still give some clarifications.
Hot keys are a combination, or combination, of certain buttons on the computer keyboard that are pressed in strict sequence (one after the other, and not all together), allowing you to expand the functionality of the operating system, providing you with the actions you need.
Before moving on to the specifics, I note that the hotkeys provided below are mostly universal and valid not only for Windows, but also for other operating systems (For example, Linux). Therefore, the material will be useful to almost everyone.
Basic Windows 7 hotkeys
For a better perception of the material, we will take as a basis the keyboard combinations implemented in the seven. And a little lower I will try to present in addition the keyboard shortcuts that appeared already in the 8th and 10th modifications of this operating system. All keyboard shortcuts are divided into the following categories according to the degree of functionality:
- local - activate the desired function only if the window of the software intended specifically for them is open;
- global (for the program) - work in any window, but are intended for the corresponding program;
- global (for the operating system) - operate in any window.
It is worth noting here that the developers of this or that software often set their default hotkeys for various operations and commands. In many cases, the user has the opportunity to independently choose those combinations that are convenient for him. Just keep in mind that the same combinations for different programs can lead to a conflict of global software hotkeys.
So, one of the most important for Windows is the global combination Ctrl+Alt+Delete, which allows you to go to the menu from where we can lock the computer, change the user, log out, change the password and start the Task Manager.
You can immediately restart the computer, set the sleep mode or turn off the machine completely if you select the desired item from the drop-down menu of the red button in the lower right corner.
Incidentally, the Dispatcher can be directly activated via Ctrl + Shift + Esc. With its help, we disable this or that operation (remove the task) that causes a "freeze" or causes the system to become unstable.
A very useful combination Win+R, which causes the Run command dialog box to open. In a special field, you can enter the name of any program, folder, document or web resource that you want to open.
Below I present a table with the main combinations for Windows that help speed up the work on the computer ( Win- a key with the image of the Windows logo):

Finding and configuring keyboard shortcuts in Windows 7
Basically, in the previous paragraph, I gave a direct link to complete list all keyboard combinations. Almost the same can be obtained if you use Help from MicroSoft. To get it, type the combination on the keyboard Win+F1 and enter the appropriate query in the search field. If you check "Local Help" below, you won't even need an internet connection:
From the resulting pile of results, choose the one you need. And now let's see how you can arrange a change in the keyboard shortcut in your own image and likeness to call any program, or set it if it was not assigned by default.
So, let's see how to set up hotkeys on Windows 7. In order to assign them, select the shortcut on the desktop desired program and call the "Properties" item, where you insert the cursor in the field opposite the "Quick call" option:
If the line contains "no", then hotkeys are not installed for this program. To assign them, press any number or letter on the keyboard, as a result, a new combination will be entered into the line (Ctrl + Alt will be added automatically):
Click "OK", and that's it, in general, that's all. Now this program will be launched when you type the keyboard shortcuts set for it. In the future, if you decide to change the combination again, act in a similar way. To disable a previously assigned combination, enter the cursor next to the "Shortcut" and press the "Backspace" key.
Keyboard shortcuts for Windows 8.1
Next, we will supplement the information received and try to build a table with the combinations that were added in the figure eight to optimize the work on the computer and save users time. Of course, I will not give the whole list, because it is very impressive. Let's focus on the main ones:
Hotkeys | Action corresponding to key combination |
---|---|
Win+F1 | Accessing Windows Help |
Windows + Home | Minimize (maximize) all windows |
Win+C | Call Charms |
Win+F | Search charms for finding files |
Win+H | Open the Sharing Charm |
Win+I | Open the Settings Charm |
Win+K | Open the Devices Charm |
Win+O | Fix screen orientation type (portrait or landscape) |
Win+Q | Invoke the Search charm to find data across all resources or within the boundaries of an open application (if it supports this option) |
Win+S | Miracle "Search" button in order to find information in Windows and on the Internet |
Win+W | Invoking the Search charm to get options |
Win+Z | Display commands available in a specific application (if there are such commands) |

Win + Ctrl + Space | Return to the previously set input language |
Win + Plus | Zoom in with Magnifier |

Keyboard shortcuts in Windows 10
Well, in conclusion, let's look at some of the shortcut keys that are present in the latest version of the operating system at the moment. Windows systems 10. The bulk of keyboard shortcuts are still based on Windows based 7. But there are also those that activate fundamentally new options, and the functions of some are slightly changed. We will consider them by examining the next table below:
I emphasize once again that the above table does not fully reflect all the combinations, but only those shortcuts that were added by the developers. By analogy with the seven, I am directing you to a page with a complete list of combinations for Windows 10.
Hotkeys in the browser (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, IE)
Now we will look at some combinations that may be useful to you when working in an open browser window. In principle, the combinations below, which I often use, work quite well for themselves, although there are exceptions, which I will discuss later in the story.
There are just some small nuances, which we will talk about along the way. At the same time, we assume by default that Windows is installed on the computer as the most popular OS among users. But, as I noted above, the lion's share of keyboard shortcuts will work in other operating systems.
So let's get started. Sometimes it happens that you accidentally closed the tab with the desired web resource. At the same time, you have to spend precious time trying to find the web page again, especially if you did not have time to bookmark it. That's when keyboard shortcuts come to the rescue. Ctrl+Shift+T that allow you to open closed tab, which you turned off last.
It can be very convenient, without bothering yourself with unnecessary mouse movements, immediately move the cursor to the address bar of the browser. To do this, type Alt+D, then immediately enter the URL of the website you want to go to. If you are on a specific page of a site, then pressing these hotkeys will highlight the URL of that resource.
When dialing ctrl+e we give the command to search the browser for information on the input search query, not by the URL of the web resource. This is indicated by a question mark in the address bar of the same Chrome:
There are some features worth mentioning here. Let's try to enter the URL of the website directly first (I have Google set as the default search):
After that, we get detailed data on the resource we are looking for with all possible main addresses of its web pages, links from other resources where there are mentions of it, reviews, etc.
Now we can simply enter Domain name() of the desired site:
In this case, all the information on the search results page will be similar to the previous version, but the links will be presented in a slightly different sequence and form.
Some differences will be observed when searching in Yandex. If you enter the address (with ) or the domain of the site according to the standard pattern (without Ctrl + E), then you will simply go to it home page. Like this. This keyboard shortcut works correctly in , and . But it doesn't seem to work, at least not yet.
Often we need to get source page, which is called using a combination Ctrl+U. Moreover, in Google Chrome and Opera code will appear in a new tab, which is very convenient. But when using Mozilla Firefox and IE - in a new window, which, at least for me, causes discomfort. Good thing my working web browser is Chrome.
Keyboard shortcut Ctrl+A makes it possible to select all elements on a web page. This helps when you need to quickly copy the content of a web page, which sometimes takes up a decent amount of space, and doing it with the mouse is extremely inconvenient.
For example, sometimes I test the correctness of the markup of a particular blog web page in Google's Structured Data Testing Tool, where you can insert the page's HTML code. This may come in handy for some other cases as well. Then I just press these hotkeys to select all the text and then copy it.
By the way, you can copy the entire content or just a fragment of it to the clipboard using ctrl+c, and paste the copied to a new location by pressing the keys ctrl+v. By the way, there are cases when using hot keys for copying and pasting is uncontested, since similar operations with the mouse are not possible.
We go further. If we are talking about finding certain fragments of text on the page (say, some word), then we use special key F3, causing the appearance of a search string in which you can enter what you are looking for. In Chrome, this line pops up at the top right:
In the line that appears, enter right word, its part or phrase. As a result, we instantly get the number of such fragments found on the page. The yellow bars on the right will indicate those lines of text where this word or phrase is present.
To move from one word found and highlighted in yellow to another, use combinations ctrl+g(to the next) and Ctrl+Shift+G(to the previous one). This counts down the serial number and scrolls the page to display its location.
Almost like this quick search by text (it can also be used when writing an article in the editor) helps me a lot with SEO analysis of a freshly baked or edited article. Let's say, in order to remove too frequently repeated keys.
By the way, in different browsers such a line is located differently, although the search mechanism on the page remains the same. The form described above, as you understand, it takes in Google Chrome. In Opera, it appears on the top left, and in Mozilla, it appears on the bottom left. And only in Internet Explorer such a search, as far as I know, is not provided.
Next hot key about which I would like to tell - Ctrl+F5. You probably know that using the F5 button reloads the active page. However, almost all site owners use caching to speed them up ().
By the way, many webmasters use for these purposes, which is one of the best in its class, so take note. In this case, upon request, users are given not the latest version of the web page, which may already contain some changes, but its cached copy.
So, to get the page not from the cache, but directly from it latest version from the server using the Ctrl+F5 key combination. This is very convenient, including for viewing the changes made on your own site. In the table below, you can choose the desired combination of keys on the keyboard and their assignments when working in browsers:

Here are all the main most commonly used hotkeys that may come in handy when working in popular web browsers. However, for those who want to get the absolute maximum of information, I will provide an additional link to the corresponding Chrome help, where there is data on this browser and, perhaps, you will find something else useful there.
The possibilities of Windows 7 seem endless: creating documents, sending emails, writing programs, editing photos, audio and video materials - this is not a complete list of what you can do with this smart machine.
