These are meant to make us more efficient. But I have limited knowledge with this. I know Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, Ctrl- Z, Windows tab +E. Are there any other you know of?

@yoalldudes Indeed and not sure why they make it so hard. Makes it disappointing.

@yoalldudes it's easier/less awkward for me than Ctrl-S. however, i also tweak the save setting in ms word from the default 10 mins (if i remember correctly) down to 1 minute to be sure.

Few more that you might know but forgot to mention. Ctrl + A for select all, Ctrl+ X for cut, Ctrl+ S to save, Ctrl + P to print..these are the common ones.

@yoalldudes I am not so good with computers and technology and I felt that they were the common ones

So many have answered and I'm not sure if I can add more. I think the ones I know have already been mentioned. But I will say this: it is good to know keyboard shortcuts for the times when the mouse fails us! That happened to me several times before - the mouse just suddenly stopped working and I'd be forced to use the keyboard to get anything done.

CTRL-F to find a specific word, ALT-Tab to switch between apps, Chrome and Mozilla have different shortcuts for new incognito, CTRL-Shift P for Mozilla and CTRL-Shift-N for Chrome.

@yoalldudes Nothing fancy in incognito, to put it plainly the browser never saves your browsing history while you are in incognito mode
