Quick save button. Saving a document in Word

There are many lists of hotkeys: for Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac, for Photoshop, for Word, AutoCAD, etc.

But not all PC users use them.

Why do we need hotkeys if there are? Anything can happen: the mouse may break, and wireless mouse- the battery is dead.

Sometimes there are problems with software when connecting new mouse, and the old one has already “ordered to live long.” And the touchpad can fail, and some people simply don’t know how to handle it correctly, having gotten used to clicking with the mouse.

When you need to do something urgently, and the mouse is useless, knowledge of keyboard shortcuts can come in very handy. In addition, using them, you can significantly increase productivity when working on a computer.

Here are the ten most used combinations that you can also successfully use:

1 . Many people probably know these combinations. Hotkeys Copy:

Ctrl+C or

They are needed to copy a selected piece of text as follows:

• First, select the text (or picture, table).

• Then click on Ctrl key and, without releasing it, simultaneously press the key with the letter C (in short it is written like this: Ctrl + C).

• We release the keys, now the selected fragment is copied to the clipboard (in RAM computer).

The Copy procedure does not appear externally on the computer screen. To “get” from the computer memory what we placed there using the Copy hotkeys:

• you need to place the cursor in the place where you want to place the copied fragment, and

• Press the hotkeys Paste: Ctrl + V.

What keyboard shortcut can you use to copy text or objects to the clipboard?

For this there are hotkeys Copy: Ctrl + C and Paste: Ctrl + V. They can be called a sweet couple. They are most often used in one combination, that is, first they copy the selected fragment using Ctrl + C, then immediately paste it using the Ctrl + V keys.

Another sweet pair you can use to Copy Paste is Ctrl + Insert and Shift + Insert. Here, as they say, it's a matter of taste.

2. Ctrl + V or Shift + Insert – hotkeys Insert text or object copied to the clipboard.

3. Ctrl + Z And Ctrl+Y– hot keys Cancel.

Using these commands, you can undo any changes, for example, if you accidentally cut or deleted text.

To cancel multiple latest changes, you need to press one of these combinations (Ctrl + Z, or Ctrl + Y) several times.

Ctrl + X – hotkeys Cut

This combination allows you to cut out what you need and at the same time put it on the clipboard. Then you can paste the cut into the desired place.

4. Ctrl + F– hot keys Search.

A very useful “couple” of keys that opens the search bar in almost any program or browser.

Sometimes Ctrl + F is also called the Find hotkey.

5. Alt + Tab– hot keys switch windows.

If you add Shift to these combinations (you get Shift+ Alt+ Tab), you will move in the opposite direction, that is, you can return to the program in which you were in the previous step.

Ctrl+Tab– hotkeys for switching tabs. With their help, you can quickly navigate between tabs in

6. Ctrl + Backspace– hot keys Delete. They will save a lot of time if you need to quickly delete a word while typing. These keyboard shortcuts do not work in Notepad, but they work fine in Word.

Word is the most common text editor For personal computers. It is used by both beginners and professionals. For comfortable and fast work Word provides a keyboard shortcut for saving a document, also called “hot keys,” which allows you to perform certain actions at once, without looking up from the keyboard. This article explains how to save a document in Word using a keyboard shortcut.

Save document to Word any versions can be a combination Ctrl+S. This " shortcut key" executes the "Save" command. However, there are software packages on the Internet in which this combination does not work. In this case, you need to configure it yourself.

Keyboard shortcut Shift + F12 also saves the document in Word. This combination is guaranteed to work in all software packages and versions of all years of release. Also this method may be more convenient for left-handers.

Saving by selecting a file path (“save as”)

"Hot key" F12 is responsible for performing the “save as” action in Word. Unlike Shift + F12, this command opens a window asking for the save location, document name, and preferred format. This button is needed if you need to create a separate copy of the text, change the format, or save the file somewhere else.

In addition to the specified combinations, you can set new ones, customized for yourself. In Settings, select a keyboard shortcut setting. In the “Keyboard Settings” window that pops up, in the category settings, select “File Tab”, and in it – “FileSave” and “FileSaveAs” for “save” and “save as”, respectively. Now dial the desired button or combination.

You can assign your own key combinations to all functions in the menu, and it is also possible to call tools using a key combination.

To change the key combination for a menu item, simply select it using the mouse or arrow keys, press the desired key combination, and it will be set immediately. The key combination must be or special key, i.e. F3, or a combination including modifiers, i.e. Ctrl-Shift-D. You cannot assign simple alphanumeric keys, such as Q .

To prevent accidental changes to key combinations, they can only be changed when the Edit → option is enabled Keyboard shortcuts. Changes are turned off by default, which is recommended for normal use.

All key combinations are stored in the file ui/accel_map in the user's directory, which is usually called ~/.gwyddion (Unix) or Documents and Settings\gwyddion (MS Windows). You can assign keyboard shortcuts to instruments only by editing this file. Each line corresponds to an action caused by that key combination. For example, the default line for the Mask Editor tool looks like this:

; (gtk_accel_path " /GwyToolMaskEditor" "")

Semicolons indicate comments, i.e. lines. those starting with them will be inactive. Therefore, to assign a keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Shift-E Mask Editor tool, remove the semicolon to make this line active and write your keyboard shortcut in empty space between quotes:

(gtk_accel_path " /GwyToolMaskEditor" " e")
