Will you share some little known tricks you use on the computer?

PowerPoint, Excel, Chrome, keyboard short cuts, any and all.

My trick is: you can switch between two open programs by using alt tab with your left hand, so you don’t need to use the mouse. I use this constantly, because I need to look at data on one screen and use it, or check it, in another, and I want full screen for both. For instance I might be switching between an email and an excel spreadsheet. Or, a pdf and a form I’m filling in Chrome. I use my thumb for the alt, and forefinger for the tab.

What’s your tip?

Using Fluther

or

Using Email

Separate multiple emails with commas.
