Humans rely on technology more than ever. Our computers make it possible for us to connect with people in new and meaningful ways. They also make it possible for us to complete a number of tasks at home and at the office. While our computers allow us to do so much in record time, there are a few tricks that can make your day a little easier.
Although you probably already know about several of the following computer tricks, there might be a few you didn’t know before today. Read on to learn about the top PC tricks everyone should know.
CTRL+Shift+T
When searching the web you might accidentally close a tab you really need. This page might have taken you time to find and now you’re worried that you’ll never find it again. Luckily there’s a way to bring it back! Hit CTRL+Shift+T to reopen the most recently closed tab.
CTRL+Z
Most people already know what pressing CTRL+Z will do. This handy combination can help you undo almost any action. While most people think this only applies to text, hitting these magic keys can actually bring back a file that you accidentally deleted or moved to another location. Another thing you might not know is CTRL+Y. Pressing this combination will redo whatever you just undid.
YouTube Shortcuts
Many people don’t realize that there are a few keyboard shortcuts that work when viewing YouTube videos. Pressing K will pause the video, J takes you back ten seconds, and L moves the video forward ten seconds. M will mute, preventing you a lot of embarrassment when watching videos in a quiet space.
Print Screen
Many people don’t realize that hitting the Print Screen button on your keyboard will actually take a screenshot of your computer screen. This is useful for a number of purposes.
