I just learned something new and useful

I was starting a new crochet article and I decided to save the file before continuing to type. When the dialogue box appeared I typed in a W which brought up my writing folder (writing\) and then an A for the articles (articles\)folder. I thought I had hit the enter key like usual, but I had hit the end key instead. I saw that the file directory was being displayed (writing\articles\) so I hit the end key again and kept going with folder names until I got to where I wanted to be.
This is a neat discovery as it saves a few steps up opening each folder to get to the one I want to save the file in. I love it when I come across these keyboard/computer shortcuts by accident. It is so much better than hitting a wrong key and having something bad happen to a file or directory!
Just thought I would share :-)

Most of the keyboard shortcuts I know I learned via those happy little accidents (and some not so happy).

Hi C,
That's the price being being good yesterday--of forgeting to make a fool out of your brother for the april fools day. your kindness was rewarded.
I am happy for you. it will surely make things easier for you this time.

Congrats on the new discovery, it is always a lot of fun to find out new shortcuts. I remember a long time ago when i found out about the tab key, it's really helpful when searching a website like mylot, put it together with the CTRL F feature, and it works great!

I can do ctrl f or ctrl tab but not all three. How does that work on your computer?

I love using shortcuts or hotkeys. They make your time in using computer more efficient.
