Default Share your keyboard tips and tricks

A trick I just learned was press control and one of the arrow keys to move the cursor a word at a time (instead of just a character at a time). You can combine that trick with shift and delete which makes it pretty useful and faster than just the arrow keys alone.

I also just discovered how useful the home and end keys are when working in text that doesn't wrap, it shoots you right to the end of the line, or start of the line.

In windows if you hit windowkey d it minimizes all the windows, it's good if you have tons of things open and need to get to the desktop. If you hit it again, it brings up the windows back up.

Linux, and Mac tips are good too.
