Successforce Blog: "Keyboard Tricks to Make You More Productive"
Posted by Jamie Grenney
When investment bankers go through their training programs, the first thing they learn is how to use Excel without a mouse. There are a series of simple Windows shortcuts that can dramatically speed up how you navigate through the application.
Some common examples include:
- Tab moves between fields
- Shift-tab moves backwards between fields
- Enter in a field will press the 'default' or 'highlighted' button (usually save or next)
- Scrolling with 'page up' / 'page down' on details is much faster than using the scrollbar
- Using the 'mouse wheel' to scroll details is much faster as well
- The 'home' key will move back to the top of a detail page
- The 'end' key will move to the bottom of a detail page
- Alt-left arrow moves back one page
- Alt-tab lets you flip between applications
- Ctl-c lets you copy information and Ctl-v lets you paste it
- Alt-number
will select and visit the item in the recent item list
Take a couple minutes to learn one of these commands and see if it speeds up your day.
