The key board is an input device used to enter commands and instructions into the computer system.

The keyboard functions are usually called "SHORT-CUTS". This is because they provide you with quick access to complex functions with just hitting a key on the keyboard or some couples of keys.

Shortcuts are likely used by gurus (IT experts) as they understand the importance of using them; they know how fast they can be when they apply those shortcut keys in their day to day use of computer.

 Why waste your time going to OFFICE BUTTON (FILE) each time you want to SAVE your work when you can just hold down your CTRL key and press S (CTRL+S) or why stress yourself trying to Select All text in your document by dragging from beginning to End when you can simply use this command (CTRL + A).

I am certain that most of you Already know these simple shortcut keys, but if there is any one reading this post who cannot apply these simple shortcuts from CTRL+A to CTRL+Z, then kindly read Simple Microsoft Shortcuts

Without taking more of your time, let me go straight to the main business of today.

Advance Keyboard Shortcuts

Below contain more advanced keyboard shortcuts than the normal Ctrl A to Z keys. See below:

1.    CTRL + ALT + DELETE: whenever you press these three keys together, it takes you to a subfunction screen where you can choose to do the following tasks. Lock This Computer, Switch User, Change Password etc.

2.    SHIFT + DELETE: You know, whenever you try to delete a file (Music, Video, Image) or Folder in your system, the system will ask you 'Are You Sure You Want To Move (FileName) to the Recycle Bin?). This is because those kinds of deletes are temporary but if you want to delete a file as described above but Permanently, then kindly select the file or folder, hold down your Shift key and press Delete. This time the system will ask you "Are you sure you want to Permanently delete (FileName)?. Now click Yes and that is all. Note, any file deleted in this format can no longer be recovered.

3.    F6: The F6 key is very amazing especially on Microsoft Office softwares. When you hit the F6 button while in Ms-Word, it will provide you with further keys to complete series of tasks without using the mouse. (For example, Press F6 key, look at the office menu bar tabs like 'Home' 'Insert' etc., you would notice that all those tabs now have labels on them like 'A' B etc. Now all you have to do is strike the Digit or Alphabet that is placed on the tab you want to use and continue till you complete a task . (eg, 'I' for Insert, 'T' for Table etc.)
