Hello friends! This week, I wanted to share three keyboard shortcuts that might save you a bunch of time… or improve your quality of life when using your computer. :)
This is a key combination that minimizes all open applications on your desktop at once. Why does this matter? I am sure you have found yourself in a position where you have 54 open applications and you simply want to start over. Well, Window+D lets you do that. And you can press Window+D again to bring everything back as well.
You might know about this one… but if you aren’t using it regularly, this is a great reminder that it exists. CTRL+F will bring up the Search functionality in many applications. Whether you are on a website or in an Excel spreadsheet, CTRL+F will let you find all occurrences of whatever text you type in to search for.
I am sure you are familiar with CTRL+V to paste content into an application. Well, this tip is for that situation when you paste content from one application to another and the formatting gets weird. For example, if you copy content (CTRL+C) from Microsoft Word and then paste it (CTRL+V) into a WordPress blog post or page of content, all kinds of weird formatting things can start happening. SHIFT+CTRL+V is a modifier to CTRL+V that pastes the content without formatting. I use this… every day.
Please watch the video to see exactly how to use these keyboard shortcuts (and my smiling face.) And if you know someone that could benefit from the content I put out, please consider forwarding this to a friend. I would really appreciate it!
We have worked with Blue Gurus since 2010, and in that time they've become trusted colleagues and friends.
"One thing becomes very clear soon after you meet Jason. He genuinely cares about you and helping your business. We have worked with Blue Gurus for more than six years and in that time they have become trusted colleagues and friends. Including our new LaunchKC website, they have guided us through four new Wordpress websites for our various initiatives at the Downtown Council.
In addition, they have taught us the importance of having a strong presence on social media and have helped us grow our audience on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. Blue Gurus always makes this process very fun and affordable. I have not worked with a better team in my ten years at the Downtown, I am honored to call them business partners and friends."
