Do you use the control key when you are typing? Well, if you don't, you should! I have recently started trying to use the control key whenever I can to delete or space over whole words instead of just one character at a time. I have also started to incorporate the end home and delete keys as much as I can. Why not?
Also, what other keyboard shortcuts do you use?

The ones people ask about most is selecting a whole paragraph (or half a paragraph) with a keystroke, navigating to the start of a paragraph, moving back and forward through time with what you typed so you can bring a single sentence you deleted a few minutes ago and resurrect it, changing font size, displaying the windows desktop, using menus, navigating a hierarchy. They're the simple ones, but often the ones people are impressed by. If anyone uses an application with IntelliSense, that's where all the really fun stuff is. It's scary how arcane it seems now to have to type every word in full.
If anyone wants to learn, just unplug your mouse for a month. You soon pick it up when you have to. Although to be fair, there are some that work in conjunction with the mouse too.
And you could tell women you can control a mouse-pointer with the power of your mind.
Not that that's what I'd do *cough*
Never mind, no I would never use that line. It would be funny though!
Ctrl+Up then Ctrl+Shift+Down, you get the whole paragraph. Or Ctrl+Down then Ctrl+Shift+Up also works, of course. I do it so quickly it looks like one keystroke (it's pretty easy, to be honest. After the first keypress all you do is also press Shift as well and swap the cursor).
I have developed a consistency because I have been typing the same way since I was about 7 or 8. Goes way back to when I was in 4th or 5th grade.
If it helps, I think your comments on here count!
Wait, you're a chick!?
I still think you would make a great sailor though.
By the way, did you know it was me on here?
:P
