    I read every comment and I’m pretty sure I’ve got something most of you don’t know. control and left or right will move by one word at a time in text. if you hold shift with this, you can highlight.

    I find this is incredibly useful after I use Alt d or Control-L. in most browsers including most file browsers, this will take you to your address bar. then you can chop up your URL.

    I did see somebody mention shift insert. I don’t know if they mentioned shift delete which cuts.

    edit:

    win+e to open file explorer. win+d to show desktop.

      I had to write an essay in an exam setting once and all the keyboard controls like that were disabled. Worst 20 minutes ever

      Even better:

      Win + Space (Win or Super + Space in Linux also) changes keyboard languages. I’m not seeing that anywhere in here either.

        I hate tripping that one. I actively remove my “alternate” keyboards so I never trip it. on windows, one of my emacs binds trips it. so frustrating.
