KeyXL online keyboard shortcuts database
Including keyboard shortcuts for Windows, Macintosh and Linux
A keyboard short cut is a key (or combination of keys) that performs a function within a software program.
Usually this same function can be performed using the mouse but the advantage of keyboard shortcuts is that the hand does not need to leave the keyboard.
Other names for a keyboard shortcut are shortcut key, accelerator key, hotkey, key binding, key combo, etc.
Many shortcut keys consist of two or more keys pressed together. For these, the short cut would usually consist of an alphabetic or numeric key combined with a "modifier" key (shift, ctrl or alt,cmd, option or apple depending on your operating system). Some applications have the ability to create your own custom key short cuts to give you even more flexibility.
An example of the kind of function a shortcut key might perform could be to minimize a window in Internet Explorer or to copy a selected item in Photoshop.
Many people arent aware of the large number of keyboard shortcuts that can be used to perform actions within their favorite software program.
Conversely, there are also alot of people who are aware of how useful keyboard shortcuts are, but they find it difficult to remember which keyboard shortcut or hotkey does what function. (Thats where the KeyXL keyboard shortcut database comes in!)
Here at KeyXl.com our most popular list of keyboard shortcuts are Windows XP, Excel, Microsoft Word, Microsoft and Photoshop.
If you click on each link you will see a list of keyboard shortcuts for that application. As far as we can tell have the largest collection of keyboard shortcut lists found anywhere on the internet! If you find a site with more please let us know!
For a more detailed overview on keyboard shortcuts check out the Wikipedia keyboard shortcuts page. Wikipedia is a great resource (just like KeyXL!). Or for info on the computer keyboard itself try this Wikipedia link about the keyboard.
Our hope is that by using the keyboard shortcuts listed here at KeyXL you will become more productive in your daily work.
Also one final point, we are always looking for a new list of shortcuts to add to our hotkey database. If you cant find an application listed in our database its usually because we've looked but havent been able to find a list of shortcuts for that application.
So if you if have a list of shortcuts we dont have we'd be very grateful if you sent it to us (the file format doesnt matter - html, word, pdf, text).
| Create Keyboard Shortcut To Abort Shutting Down Windows 05/12/2008 12:00 AM |
|
It never fails. You just clicked to shutdown Windows and at that very instant, you realize you forgot to copy a file or send an important email. You think of every way to stop Windows from shutting down, but away it goes….time to restart again. Fortunately there is an easy way to abort a shutdown (or restart) in Windows using a built-in command and a keyboard shortcut. First, we'll need to create two shortcuts, one for shutdown and another for abort. To create the first shortcut, we'll

| Make Windows More Productive Without Installing a Thing 05/05/2008 09:00 AM |

The most common complaint we get from Lifehacker readers in Windows IT lockdown is that the majority of our tips require installing third-party applications—which you can't do if you don't have the right permissions on your PC. If you don't have the rights to install software on your company-issued PC, there are still lots of ways you can make Windows a more productive place to work. Let's take a look at how you can maximize your computer productivity with keyboard shortcuts, desktop tweaks,

If you are one of the bloggers who have recently joined the Entrecard network and are now displaying that nifty widget (preferably above the fold) on your blog’s sidebar, congratulations! You have just opened your blog to a new universe of visitors. There have been claims that entrecard dropping can be addictive. I think that all depends on how much time you have to go blog hopping. I have been on entrecard for almost a month and have received visits I would not have ordinarily received oth

One of the cool things about Firefox is it’s never ending ways to do things. While this list will not make headlines, any Firefox list I find, always has one or two tips worth saving. Here are five Firefox tips that I like because they are quick and don’t require any extensions or add-ons installation. Firefox Tip 1 - Bookmarks are great, but sometimes you may want to save a Web site link for the short term. Instead of creating a Bookmark, just click and hold on the Web site favicon in the Add

| How To Multi-Select Items With a Pen 05/01/2008 11:16 PM |

When operating a Tablet PC in slate / portrait mode, sometimes you have to think a little differently to do tasks that are second-nature with the keyboard. One of those items is multi-selects. With a keyboard it is easy: click on the first item, then hold down the shift key and click on the last item. Or, hold down the Ctrl key, and select each individual item with your mouse. What about the pen? Here are several tips to accomplish the same productivity shortcuts with a pen: Shift Multi

Well, I have done what I was aiming to do and it has been successful, I think anyway. Leopard was installed the other night and using the tips in the Missing Sync for Leopard manual I managed to save around 6gb of space by not installing stuff like printer drivers and other languages although I did, for some reason of which I am not quite sure, install Spanish and French. Although there is only a 867mhz processor, which puts this PowerBook well down the pecking order in G4 PowerBook bragging s
