Keyboard shortcuts in Windows 7. The most useful Windows keyboard shortcuts (hot keys). Deleting files and text

The possibilities of Windows 7 seem limitless: creating documents, sending letters, writing programs, processing photos, audio and video materials is not a complete list of what can be done using this smart machine. However, the operating system contains secrets that are not known to every user, but allow for optimized operation. One of these is the use of hotkey combinations.

Keyboard shortcuts on Windows 7 are specific combinations that can be used to perform various tasks. Of course, you can use a mouse for this, but knowing these combinations will allow you to do work on your computer faster and easier.

Classic keyboard shortcuts for Windows 7

• Ctrl+C– Copies text fragments (which were previously selected) or electronic documents;
• Ctrl+V– Inserting text fragments or files;
• Ctrl+A– Selecting text in a document or all elements in a directory;
• Ctrl+X– Cutting out part of the text or any files. This command is different from the command "Copy" the fact that when inserting a cut fragment of text/files, this fragment is not saved in its original location;
• Ctrl+S– Procedure for saving a document or project;
• Ctrl+P– Calls up the settings and printing tab;

• Shift+Delete– Deleting a file permanently, without moving it to "Basket".

Keyboard shortcuts for Windows 7 when working with text

In addition to the classic Windows 7 keyboard shortcuts, there are special combinations that execute commands when the user works with text. Knowledge of these commands will be especially useful for those who are learning or already practicing touch typing on the keyboard. Thus, you can not only quickly type text, but also edit it. Similar combinations can work in various editors.

• Ctrl+B– Makes the selected text bold;
• Ctrl+I– Makes the selected text italic;
• Ctrl+U— Makes the selected text underlined;
• Ctrl+"arrow (left, right)"– Moves the cursor in the text either to the beginning of the current word (by pressing the left arrow) or to the beginning of the next word in the text (by pressing the right arrow). If you also hold down the key during this command Shift, then the cursor will not move, but words will be highlighted to the right or left of it, depending on the arrow;
• Ctrl+Home– Moves the cursor to the beginning of the document (no need to select text to move);
• Ctrl+End– Moves the cursor to the end of the document (the transfer will occur without selecting text);
• Delete– Deletes text that has been selected.

Keyboard shortcuts when working with Explorer, Windows, Desktop Windows 7

Hello, dear readers of the blog site! Probably, many users, even beginners, know about the existence of so-called hot keys in the Windows OS (they are also called fast, which reflects the essence).

But only a few take full advantage of the benefits they provide when working with applications, files () or when browsing the Internet through browsers (in this article I will mention Chrome, Opera, Mazila and IE as the most popular).

I think that the lion's share of readers fully understand what we are talking about. But, keeping in mind that this blog was originally created for those who are just beginning their difficult path to mastering modern technologies, I will still give some clarifications.

Hot keys are a combination, or combination, of certain buttons on a computer keyboard that are pressed in a strict sequence (one after the other, and not all together), which allows you to expand the functionality of the operating system, ensuring that you perform the actions you need.

Before moving on to specifics, I note that the hotkeys provided below are for the most part universal and valid not only for Windows, but also for other operating systems (for example, Linux). Therefore, the material will be useful to almost everyone.

Basic Windows 7 hotkeys

For a better understanding of the material, let’s take as a basis the keyboard combinations implemented in the seven. And just below I will try to introduce in addition the shortcut keys that appeared already in the 8th and 10th modifications of this operating system. All keyboard shortcuts are divided into the following categories based on functionality:

• local - activate the desired function only if the window of the software intended specifically for them is open;
• global (for a program) - work in any window, but are intended for the corresponding program;
• global (for the operating system) - valid in any window.

It is worth noting here that developers of this or that software often set their default hotkeys for various operations and commands. In many cases, the user has the opportunity to independently choose those combinations that are convenient for him. You just need to keep in mind that the same combinations for different programs can lead to a conflict of global software hotkeys.

So, one of the most important for Windows is the global combination Ctrl + Alt + Delete, which allows us to go to a menu from where we can lock the computer, change the user, log out, change the password and launch the Task Manager.

You can immediately restart the computer, set sleep mode, or turn off the machine completely if you select the desired item from the drop-down menu of the red button in the lower right corner.

By the way, the Manager can be directly activated using Ctrl + Shift + Esc. With its help, we disable one or another operation (remove a task) that causes a freeze or causes unstable operation of the system.

A very useful combination Win+R, which opens the Run command dialog box. In a special field you can enter the name of any program, folder, document or web resource that you want to open.

Below I present a table with the main combinations for Windows that help speed up your computer work ( Win- key with the Windows logo):

As I already said, these are basic hotkeys that we can use in Windows 7 to speed up work and save time. For those who are accustomed to doing everything thoroughly, I provide a link to the original source, which presents their complete register.

Finding and setting up keyboard shortcuts in Windows 7

Basically, in the previous paragraph I gave a direct link to a complete list of all keyboard combinations. You can get almost the same thing if you use Help from MicroSoft. To get it, type the combination on your keyboard Win+F1 and enter the corresponding query in the search field. If you check “Local Help” at the bottom, you don’t even need an Internet connection:

From the resulting heap of results, select the one you need. Now let's see how you can change the keyboard shortcut in your own image to call any program, or set it if it was not assigned by default.

So, let's see how to set up hot keys on Windows 7. In order to assign them, select the shortcut of the desired program on the desktop and call the “Properties” item, where you insert the cursor into the field opposite the “Shortcut” option:

If the line says “no,” then there are no hotkeys installed for this program. To assign them, press any number or letter on the keyboard, as a result a new combination will be entered into the line (Ctrl + Alt will be added automatically):

Click “OK”, and that’s basically it. Now this program will be launched when you type the shortcut keys installed for it. In the future, if you decide to change the combination again, proceed in a similar way. To disable a previously assigned combination, enter the cursor opposite the “Shortcut” and press the “Backspace” key.

Keyboard shortcuts for Windows 8.1

Next, we will supplement the information received and try to build a table with those combinations that were added in the figure eight to optimize work on the computer and save users time. Of course, I will not give the entire list, since it is very impressive. Let's focus on the main ones:

Shortcut keys in Windows 10

Well, in conclusion, let's look at some of the shortcut keys that are present in the latest version of the Windows 10 operating system. The majority of keyboard shortcuts are still based on Windows 7. But there are also those that activate fundamentally new options and functions some are slightly modified. We will consider them by studying the next table below:

I emphasize once again that the table above does not fully reflect all combinations, but only those shortcut keys that were added by the developers. By analogy with the seven, I direct you to a page with a complete list of combinations for Windows 10.

Hotkeys in the browser (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, IE)

Now we will look at some combinations that may be useful to you when working in an open browser window. In principle, the combinations below, which I often use, work quite well in , although there are exceptions, which I will discuss below in the course of the story.

There are just some small nuances, which we’ll talk about in passing. At the same time, let us assume by default that Windows is installed on the computer as the most popular OS among users. But, as I noted above, the lion’s share of keyboard shortcuts will work in other operating systems.

So let's get started. Sometimes it happens that you accidentally close the tab with the desired web resource. In this case, you have to spend precious time finding the web site again, especially if you did not have time to bookmark it. That's when keyboard shortcuts come to the rescue. Ctrl + Shift + T, which give you the opportunity to open the closed tab that you turned off last.

It can be very convenient, without bothering yourself with unnecessary mouse movements, to immediately move the cursor to the address bar of the browser. To do this, dial Alt+D, then immediately enter the URL of the website you want to go to. If you are on a specific page of a site, then when you press these hotkeys, the URL of that resource will be highlighted.

When dialing Ctrl+E we give the command to search the browser for information by the entered search query, and not by the URL of the web resource. This is indicated by a question mark in the address bar of the same Chrome:

There are some features worth mentioning here. Let's try to first enter the website URL directly (I have Google as my default search):

After which we receive detailed data on the required resource with all possible main addresses of its web pages, links from other resources where there are mentions of it, reviews, etc.

Now we can simply enter the domain name () of the desired site:

In this case, all the information on the search results page will be similar to the previous option, but the links will be presented in a slightly different sequence and form.

Some differences will also be observed when searching in Yandex. If you enter the address (with ) or domain of the site using the standard format (without Ctrl+E), then you will simply go to its main page. Like this. This key combination works correctly in , and . But in , it doesn’t seem to work, at least not yet.

Often we need to get the source code of the page, which is called using the combination Ctrl+U. Moreover, in Google Chrome and Opera the code will appear in a new tab, which is very convenient. But when using Mozilla Firefox and IE, it opens in a new window, which, at least for me, causes discomfort. It's good that my work web browser is Chrome.

Keyboard shortcut Ctrl+A makes it possible to select all elements on a web page. This helps when you need to quickly copy the content of a web page, which sometimes takes up a considerable amount of space, and doing this with the mouse is extremely inconvenient.

For example, sometimes I test the correctness of the micro-markup of a particular blog web page in Google's Structured Data Testing Tool service, where you can insert the HTML code of the page. This may come in handy for some other cases as well. Then I just press these hotkeys to select all the text and then copy it.

By the way, you can copy all the content or just a fragment of it to the clipboard using Ctrl+C, and paste what was copied to a new location by pressing the keys Ctrl+V. By the way, there are cases when using hot keys for copying and pasting is no alternative, since similar operations with the mouse are impossible.

Let's move on. If we are talking about finding certain fragments of text on a page (say, a word), then we use special key F3, which causes a search line to appear in which you can enter what you are looking for. In Chrome, this line appears at the top right:

In the line that appears, enter the desired word, part of it, or phrase. As a result, we instantly get the number of such fragments found on the page. Yellow stripes on the right will indicate those lines of text where this word or phrase appears.

To move from one word found and highlighted in yellow to another, use combinations Ctrl+G(to the next one) and Ctrl + Shift + G(to the previous one). In this case, the serial number is counted and the page is scrolled to display its location.

Almost such a quick text search (it can also be used when writing an article in the editor) helps me a lot with SEO analysis of a freshly written or edited article. Let's say, in order to remove too frequently repeated keys.

By the way, in different browsers this line is located differently, although the search mechanism on the page remains the same. As you understand, it takes the form described above in Google Chrome. In Opera it appears at the top left, and in Mozilla it appears at the bottom left. And only Internet Explorer does not provide such a search, as far as I know.

The next hotkey I would like to talk about is Ctrl+F5. You are probably aware that using the F5 button reloads the active page. However, almost all website owners use caching to speed them up ().

By the way, many webmasters use for these purposes, which is one of the best in its class, so take note. In this case, when making a request, users are not given the latest version of the web page, which may already contain some changes, but a cached copy of it.

So, to get a page not from the cache, but directly its latest version from the server, the key combination Ctrl+F5 is used. This is very convenient, including for viewing changes made on your own website. In the table below you can choose the desired combination of keys on the keyboard and their assignments when working in browsers:

Here are all the main, most commonly used hotkeys that can be useful when working in popular web browsers. However, for those who want to get the absolute maximum information, I will provide an additional link to the corresponding Chrome help, where there is data on this browser and, perhaps, you will find something else useful there.

Many users, when working with a computer, mainly use only the mouse, clicking on various sections of the menu in order to open one or another system management section or directory in Explorer. However, you can significantly speed up working with Windows if you train yourself to constantly use the so-called hot keys - combinations of buttons that allow you to execute various commands.

The Windows family of operating systems has always been distinguished by a large number of keyboard shortcuts designed to work both with the system itself and with the applications and utilities included in it. A significant part of the combinations is traditionally used not only in the operating system, but also in software packages from other manufacturers. In Windows 7, hotkeys have become even more convenient. Therefore, knowing at least a small part of them will significantly speed up your work.

A significant role in the formation of keyboard shortcuts is played by the Win button, indicated on the keyboard by the Windows logo in the form of a four-part flag. The key is located in the lower left corner of the keyboard between the Ctrl and Alt buttons. Another Win button can be duplicated on the right side of the keyboard between the Alt Gr buttons and the button for calling the right-click option. Due to the fact that nowadays the number of keyboard varieties is constantly increasing, the Win key may be located in another place, but it will definitely be in the lower left corner. On laptops, the Win key is usually located between the Fn and Alt function keys.

Windows hotkeys when working with Explorer

• Win. Pressing the Win button once allows you to open or close the Start menu.
• Win + E. Quick access to the My Computer directory.
• Win + M. The keyboard shortcut allows you to quickly minimize all windows, showing the desktop. Pressing it again does not return all previously opened windows to their original position, so you will have to use the mouse to expand them from a minimized view.
• Win + D. Minimize and – when pressed again – maximize all open windows. Convenient if you suddenly need to look at the desktop (in order to open a file saved there, for example), and then quickly return all open application windows to their original state.
• Win + F. Quickly launch a file search window by its name.

Win + G. If you have gadgets installed (another common name is widgets), the keyboard shortcut will show them on top of all other windows. To remove gadgets from visibility, simply click anywhere in the open window underneath them.

Win + L. A very convenient keyboard shortcut, which is especially useful for those who prefer to lock their computer every time they leave their workplace. After pressing Win + L, Windows will open an account selection screen, which can only be opened if you know the corresponding password. Of course, if you have not set a password for your account, anyone can unlock your computer.

Win + P. A convenient keyboard shortcut for those who use several monitors or projectors at the same time.

Win + U. Opens the Ease of Access Center. Handy when you need to quickly access settings for Magnifier, Narrator, or the on-screen keyboard.

Win + R. One of the most commonly used keyboard shortcuts. Allows you to quickly launch a program or system utility by entering its name in a special line. This is much faster than searching for a program in the branching sub-items of the Control Panel or the general list of applications.

Win + T. The combination allows you to make one of the icons located in the taskbar active one by one. Includes both icons for quick access to applications and icons for open windows.
Win + Tab. Effective switching between active windows, in which all open windows are arranged in the form of a “ladder”. This effect is called Windows Flip 3D or Windows Aero and is available in all versions of Vista and Seven systems. The keyboard shortcut will not work if Aero effects are disabled in the corresponding settings.

Win + X. Quick access to the Mobility Center, designed to save energy. This is especially true when working on a laptop.

• Win + Space. Aero Peak effect. All open windows become transparent, allowing you to see your desktop.
• Win+Home. Aero Shake – minimizes all windows except the active one.
• Win + cursor arrows. Convenient control of an open window. Pressing Win + up expands it to the full screen, Win + left/right presses it to one side of the screen, reducing the width to 50%. Win+down reduces the window to about one-fourth of the display area.
• Shift + Win + Right/Left. Move active windows between two monitors.
• Alt+Tab. Very convenient movement between active windows.
• Win + 1…0. Opening or minimizing a window, as well as launching an application whose shortcut in the taskbar corresponds to its number.
• Ctrl + Shift + Del. Launch the Task Manager. Many users mistakenly believe that the standard keyboard shortcut for opening the Task Manager window is Ctrl + Alt + Del. In fact, Ctrl + Alt + Del opens a separate screen with a choice of one of the actions (lock the computer, log out, change user, change password or launch Task Manager). This keyboard shortcut can also be used to open it, but it will be less fast.
• Ctrl + Win + F. If you are on a local network, Windows will begin searching for computers on it.
• Shift + Ctrl + N. Create a new directory.
• Shift + F10. The keyboard shortcut works similarly to right-clicking the mouse, bringing up a context menu.
• Alt + F4. Closes any active window.
• Alt + Enter. Opens the Properties window for the selected file.
• F4. Pressing this function key in Explorer will make the address bar active.
• Print Screen. Copies a screenshot to the clipboard. The image can be inserted into a graphics editor.
• Print Screen + Alt. A snapshot of the active window.

Hotkeys in browsers

No matter what browser you use, Windows 7 will always have keyboard shortcuts for easier access to their functions.

• F1. Calling the program help.
• F5. Page update.
• F6, Ctrl + L. Selects the contents of the browser address bar.
• F11. Full screen mode.
• Ctrl+T. Opening a new tab.
• Ctrl + N. Opens a new window.

Hotkeys for working with text and clipboard

In Windows 7, hotkeys work not only with the operating system itself and its utilities, but also with most text editing applications and programs that support the clipboard. Knowing these hotkeys can significantly reduce the time you spend typing and working with documents.

• Ctrl + C. Copy a selected section of text or any other data to the clipboard.
• Ctrl + V. Pastes the contents of the clipboard.
• Ctrl + X. Copies data to the clipboard along with deleting it from its original location.
• Ctrl + A. Select all data.
• Ctrl + O. Open a document.
• Ctrl + S. Save the file.
• Ctrl+Y. Repeat the action.
• Ctrl+Z. Cancel action.
• Ctrl+B. Changes text formatting, making selected text bold.
• Ctrl + I. The text turns into italics.
• Ctrl + U. Underline text.
• Ctrl+F. Search in the text.
• Ctrl + H. Opens the replacement window.
• Ctrl + P. Print.
• Ctrl + Home. Return to the beginning of the document.
• Ctrl + End. End of document.
• Alt + Shift, Ctrl + Shift. Change the keyboard layout.

Additional features of Windows 7

In addition to hotkeys when working with Windows 7, there are a number of options that make working with windows more convenient. If you drag the window to the top edge of the display, it will expand to fill the entire screen. If you drag it to the right or left side of the display, it will press against the corresponding side, reducing its width to 50% of the screen. To run the program as an administrator, click on its shortcut while holding down the Ctrl and Shift keys.

In many of our articles you can see text like: Win + R.
This text means that you need to press the combination of the Windows logo key and the letter on your keyboard R.
Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of two or more keys that can be pressed to perform tasks that typically require the use of a mouse or other pointing device.

This list is more complete; most of the keyboard shortcuts are valid for other operating systems of the Windows family.

The following are the most commonly used keyboard shortcuts.

Keyboard shortcuts for working with text.

Keyboard shortcuts for working with windows and the desktop.

Keyboard shortcuts for working with multiple monitors.

Let's look at what Windows 7 hotkeys are capable of, because thanks to their use you will have new opportunities to work with your computer, and interaction with it will be significantly simplified.

Innovation

Most users use traditional and familiar keyboard shortcuts when working with Windows, for example, “Ctrl + C”. However, it is unlikely that anyone knows exactly all the hot keys in Windows 7, because this operating system has significantly expanded their list.

How to manage windows?

Let's look at everything in order. First, let's discuss Windows 7 hotkeys, which are aimed at simplifying work with windows.

• The key combination “Win ​​+ Tab” allows you to switch using the keyboard between windows of running programs. If the “Aero” theme is selected as active, the switching is carried out using a beautiful 3D effect. By the way, we note that the Windows 7 “hot keys” will not help you rename an object, since for this it is enough to use “F2”. The system has made windows much more compliant. Now the window can be moved to the top of the screen by the title bar, which will make it expand. If you move the explorer to the side, it will open only half the screen. You can undock a window by moving it behind the title bar.
• Interestingly, all of these actions can be easily performed using key combinations on the keyboard. To do this, use the combination “Win ​​+ arrows”. In some cases, this approach is very convenient.
• To maximize all windows except the active one, use the “Win ​​+ Home” command.
• “Shift + Win + down button” are Windows 7 “hot keys” that allow you to minimize and maximize windows in height.

Scale

• Scaling can be done using the “Win ​​+ plus” keys accordingly. Many external programs have the ability to change the scale of elements placed in them. For example, while reading text in a browser, you can use the combination “Ctrl + plus”, then your text will increase, which is very convenient on certain sites where webmasters choose a very small font. This increase will be especially useful for people with poor vision. However, you can do more than just enlarge an image in a program that supports this. By pressing the “Win ​​+ plus” combination in any Windows window, you will see a zoom lens appear on the screen. In this case, the combination “Win ​​+ minus” will reduce the image, returning it to its original size.
• "Win + M" is a combination that allows you to minimize all windows. A similar action will occur if you click the mouse in the rectangle located at the bottom of the screen.
• “Win + Space” - shows your desktop, making all windows transparent.

Working with the taskbar

• The “Win ​​+ T” combination allows you to change focus between program icons that are in the Quick Launch panel. If you hold down “Shift”, switching will be done in the reverse order. Once you have focused, you can press “Enter” and the selected program will launch or expand.
• “Win + 1-9” - this combination will allow you to quickly return to the program corresponding to the icon number.
• “Shift + Win + number” is a combination that will launch a copy of the program.

Jump list

• Each program pinned to the taskbar has a so-called jump list. It opens with a mouse click or the combination “Alt + Win + number”.
• “Ctrl + Shift + mouse click” - will launch the program with administrator rights.
• “Shift + mouse (right button)” - allows you to open the program menu if it is already running, or the icon menu if the program is not yet running.

Working with Explorer

• “Win + B” moves focus to the tray area (we are talking about those small icons that are located near the clock). After this, you can, for example, call up the menu of the desired icon.
• “Win + E” - opens “Computer”. For some actions it is a very convenient combination, but it is difficult to get used to.
• “Win + Pause” - launches “System Properties”; this dialog box can also be opened through the properties of the “Computer” icon.
• “Win + P” - starts presentation mode. We are talking about the display selection function.
• “Win + G” - switches desktop gadgets.
• “Ctrl + Shift + N” - allows you to create a folder. This solution is faster than a similar one implemented using a mouse. Works in any folder, even on the Desktop.
• “Alt + up” - allows you to go up a level.
• “Alt + P” - preview option on the right side of the window, you can quickly view, for example, text documents or images.

Additional features

• The combination of the "Shift" key and a mouse click on the file launches a context menu, which has the additional option of copying as a path. In this case, the full path of the specified file is copied to the buffer. In addition, thanks to the combination in the Send menu, many additional paths will appear.
• Combining the “Shift” key with a mouse click on the folder will open a context menu, which contains an additional item responsible for opening the command window. In other words, the command line is activated, and the path to the specified folder will already be specified in it.

Classic teams

Now here are the key combinations that work in almost all versions of Windows.

• “Win + R” displays the “Run a program” dialog, and is analogous to the “Start” - “Run” menu command.
• “Win + D” allows you to minimize all windows at once or return to their original state.
• “Win + Control + F” launches the ability to search for computers.
• "Printscreen" creates a full screenshot.
• "Alt + Printscreen" takes a screenshot of the window.
• “Win + Tab” - switches buttons in the taskbar.
• "F6" moves between different panels. For example, between the Quick Launch panel and the desktop.
• “Ctrl + A” selects everything (text and objects).
• "Ctrl + C" copies to the clipboard.
• "Ctrl + X" cuts to the buffer. If you apply this action in Internet Explorer, a window will open with a copy of the entire contents of this window.
• "Ctrl + S" saves the current document or project.
• “Ctrl + O” brings up a file selection window, through which a document or project is supposed to be opened.
• "Ctrl + P" starts the print service.
• “Alt + Enter” switches to full screen mode and back.

Working on the text

• "Ctrl + C" performs copying.
• “Ctrl + X” - activates the “Cut” function.

So we looked at the main “hot keys” of Windows 7.

• “Ctrl+arrows” (left, right) navigates through individual words in your text. However, the function is also available outside the text editor. For example, it is very convenient to use for the browser address bar.
• "Ctrl + Home" moves to the beginning or end of the document.

Now a little about working with files.

• “Shift + F10” (Menu) displays a menu, similar to clicking a mouse button.
• "Alt + Enter" brings up "Object Properties".
• Drag + Shift moves an object.
• Mouse clicks in combination with the “Ctrl” key select several objects, their order can be arbitrary.
• Using mouse clicks together with the Shift key selects the specified number of contiguous objects.
• The Enter key launches the object. A similar result can be achieved by double clicking the mouse.
• "Delete" can be used to delete the selected object.
• Pressing the “Shift” and “Delete” keys together allows you to permanently delete an object, without placing it in the usual trash bin.
• "F3" activates or hides the search bar for Explorer.
• By turning to the numeric keypad (left-right), you can navigate in the Explorer tree, as well as collapse and expand subdirectories.
• Asterisk launched from the numeric keypad will show all folders nested in the selected directory.
• “F5” refreshes the Explorer or Internet Explorer window.
• "Backspace" navigates up in Internet Explorer or an Explorer window.
• “F4” goes to the address bar of the browser or explorer.
• “Alt + Tab” brings up a menu of transitions between windows, and also navigates through it.
• "Alt + Shift + Esc" moves between open windows in the order in which they were opened.
