Ctrl + T opens new tabs, we know that.... but did you know, Ctrl + SHIFT + T opens the last tab you closed? It also remembers all the history of that particular tab, so you can rewind those as well. And it can also be used to re-open more than just the latest closed tab. Truly a wonderful command!

 

Ctrl + B is used to save a document.... except in paint and notepad. Those use Ctrl +S. Why, I don't know...

 

F6 quickly selects the page link. O>O.

 

Depending on the particular text editor, Ctrl + Enter can allow you to jump lines, instead of actually being a "go" command. In LTT foruns, if you'd like to do this;

  1. Here's a line

    And here's a jump, without going into..
  2. number 2,

.... all you need to do is hold Shift + Enter.

I've mastered the technique, it involves using your thumb for both control + shift and your middle finger for escape, doesn't even stretch my hands, probably because I have rather large hands.

Window key + left/right arrow snaps window to half of the screen.

 

 

nice to add to that

windows key + shift + arrow keys will move a window from one monitor to another

 

Windows Key + Up arrow = window full screen

 

Windows Key + Down arrow = takes it out of full screen

Thread bookmarked lol.  Only key commands I use often and know are copy/paste but if you're on chromeos for some reason ctr+alt+? brings up a menu where you can hold keys like alt and ctr and it will show you all the key commands.
