Keyboard shortcuts CHEATSHEET - my favorite ones & one PRO combo

I guess one of the most hated things around these days is the slow internet. Everyone hates it. There's no discussion about it. But I feel, there is one even bigger torture than that...


Watching people sloooowly dragging the mouse cursor to do something you can do in a split of a second with nice little shortcut.


Can you feel it now? Sudden feeling of being in a hurry, despite you are not going anywhere? Feeling of helplessness as if you were a monster with arms chained behind you back? Yeah, that's exactly how I feel always when I'm helping someone with computer-related stuff and he's not utilizing these sacred keybindings.

Myslim ze sa zhodneme, ze jedna z najnenavidenejsich veci dnesnej doby je pomaly internet. No niekedy mam pocit, ze existuje este jedna a horsia vec...


Pozorovat ludi, ako poooomaly hybu mysou, uvedomujuc si, ze to co sa snazia spravit sa da spravit v zlomku sekundy jednoduchou skratkou na klavesnici.


Citite to? Naval pocitu, ze sa niekam ponahlate napriek tomu, ze sa nic nedeje? Pocit bezmocnosti,ako keby ste boli netvor plny sily, no mate ruky zviazane za chrbatom? To je presne ten pocit, ktory niekedy citim, ked obcas pomaham ludom spravit nieco na pocitaci a oni nepouzivaju tieto posvatne klavesove kombinacie.

My favorite shortcuts

Before I start I'd like to say I'm not the best out there and for sure many people (e.g. my work collegues) who utilize shortcuts much better than I do :)

Browser
  • CTRL+T - opens a new Tab
  • CTRL+W - closes current Tab
  • CTRL+SHIFT+T - opens last closed Tab
  • CTRL+TAB - changes Tab to next one
  • F5 - reloads page
  • CTRL+R - reloads page and clears cache
  • ALT+Arrows - back/forth in browser
...and last but not least, the naughty...

  • CTRL+SHIFT+N - opens new incognito window :D

Moje oblubene skratky

Skor nez zacnem chcem povedat, ze su ludia (napr. moji kolegovia v praci), ktori skratky vyuzivaju lepsie ako ja, takze ak patris medzi nich, tak ma nehejtuj :)

Pro combination

Chaining these shortcuts feels awesome. My favorite "combo" is useful when I'm reading some scientific paper for Uni assignment and I don't understand some word. My secondary program is browser and the sequence is:

  1. CTRL+SHIFT+arrow
  2. CTRL+C
  3. ALT+TAB
  4. CTRL+T
  5. CTRL+V
  6. ENTER

I'm not gonna tell you what's the usecase here, try it yourself :) So much work done in half a second...In those moments I feel unstoppable...

Pro kombinacia

Najlepsi pocit ma clovek, ked tietoskratky dokaze retazit do kombinacii. Moja oblubena je, ked do skoly citam nejake PDFko a ako sekundarny program mam browser. Ak niecomu nerozumiem, staci spravit:

  1. CTRL+SHIFT+arrow
  2. CTRL+C
  3. ALT+TAB
  4. CTRL+T
  5. CTRL+V
  6. ENTER
Nepoviem, co presne to urobi, vyskusajte :) Vybavene za pol sekundy a ide sa dalej. Vtedy sa citim asi takto...

I've copied this 2 column bilingual format from @pipiczech so I'm also asking her for approval to use this way. It's a much more work though, big up @pipiczech! :)

Which of those shortcuts do you use and which cool ones did I skip? Lemme know

Tento "novy" 2 stlpcovy format som prebral od @pipiczech a touto cestou ju ziadam o povolenie a pozehnanie ho obcas nadalej pouzivat :D Je to ale o dost viac roboty, respect @pipiczech! :)

Ktore zo spominanych skratiek pouzivate? A ktore uzitocne som zabudol?
