Sean’s Top Tips – June 2019

Did you know that there is a shortcut to skip to desktop immediately? “Press and hold Windows Key + D” Saves time minimising everything when you have to find something on your desktop.
You can easily lock your desktop by pressing “Windows Key + L” Handy if you have sensitive information on screen, are called away for an emergency and don’t want to leave the information on view.
Have lots of programs you constantly need to switch between? Use the key combination “Alt + Tab” to instantly switch between the two most recently used programs. Press tab multiple times whilst holding alt to switch through to other opened programs.
You probably already navigate using “Tab” to change to the next “field”, (if you don’t- try it next time you’re filling out a form online or in a program) but you can also go to the previous field by using:
“Shift + Tab”
I used to tab to where I wanted to be on a web page, and accidentally tab once too many times. Where previously I would have to find my mouse or tab through the whole page to the same place, now I can just use this to go back one. Godsend.
