Thanks katzdvd I did a search earlier but didn't find anything. I guess it helps to know what you are looking for. Thanks snagel.

You're welcome! I must admit, I have been a pc user for many years, & I still don't know what all the keys are for. Plus, the ones that I don't use that often, I tend to forget their function...

Cheers, katz

The only keystrokes I use often enough to remember:

F2 is usually a RENAME function, which I often use but blindly reaching for it results in all-too-frequent F1 taps, which brings Bill Gates and his horrendous HELP System onto my screen, clogging up the works. Grrr...

CTRL C is the COPY HIGHLIGHT function.

CTRL V lets me paste that Copied Higlight.

CTRL Z bails me out because that's the Undo function. Once I started memorizing one of these 3, I NEEDED to memorize CTRL Z !! ha ha

WinKey E lets me bring up Windows Explorer as the file manager. Much nicer than My Computer.

The only other Keyboard Memory I've committed is that, when I'm resizing any Graphics Object, I can 'fine tune' it's size by holding down my ALT key while dragging the object-borders around with my mouse. If my graphics object seems to be based on some invisible 'grid', holding down my ALT key and dragging those edges lets me temporarily override the 'grid settings' and fine-tune the object's new size.

Let us not forget that the function of those "F" keys varies according to the program you're using. In some programs they do nothing at all. In some programs you can assign a function to those keys. I think that's what they were put there for. So you can assign a "Function" to them. Get it?
