THE BOTTOM ROW

1. Find the new key on the illustrated keyboard. Then find it on your
keyboard.
2. Watch your finger make the new key a few times. Keep other
fingers curved in home position. For an upward reach, straighten
the finger slightly; for a down reach, curve the finger a bit more.
3. Used these directions for learning all new key reaches.

This will make it easier to reach the new keys you will learn in this
lesson. Strike the keys with only enough force required to register
a keystroke. As you encounter new keys, slow down as much as
necessary to reach them with accuracy.

The bottom row keys are the ten keys found below the home row keys on
a QWERTY US keyboard. The bottom row keys include the Z, X, C, V, and
B keys for the left hand and N, M, comma, period, and forward slash keys
for the right hand.

In the picture above, the hands are positioned on the home row keys and
the bottom row keys are

below the home row keys. With

a Dvorak keyboard the top row keys
are :, Q, J, K, and X keys with the left
hand and B, M, W, V, and Z keys with
the right hand.

Basic Windows keyboard shortcuts

Ctrl+Z: Undo
No matter what program you’re running, Ctrl+Z will roll back your last action. Whether
you’ve just overwritten an entire paragraph in Microsoft Word or deleted a file you didn’t mean
to, this one is an absolute lifesaver.
Ctrl+W: Close
Another shortcut that works just about everywhere, Ctrl+W will close down whatever you’re
viewing. Shut that File Explorer window, browser tab, or open image file without bothering to
hone in on the close button.
Ctrl+A: Select all
This command lets you highlight all the text in a document or select all the files in a folder.
Hitting Ctrl+A can save you time you’d otherwise spend clicking and dragging your mouse.

Alt+Tab: Switch apps

This baby is one of the classic Windows shortcuts, and it can be hugely useful when you’re
running multiple applications. Just press Alt+Tab and you’ll be able to quickly flick through all your
open windows.

Alt+F4: Close apps

Another old-school shortcut, Alt+F4 shuts down active apps so you can skip the process of
hunting down their on-screen menus. Don’t worry about losing unsaved work with this
command—it will prompt you to save your documents before closing them.
Windows navigation shortcuts

Win+D: Show or hide the desktop

This keyboard combo minimizes all your open windows, bringing your home screen into view. If
you store rows and rows of files and shortcuts on your desktop, Win+D will let you access them
in in moments.

Win+left arrow or Win+right arrow: Snap windows

Snapping a window simply opens it on one side of the screen (left or right, depending on which
arrow you hit). This allows you to compare two windows side-by-side and keeps your workspace
organized.

Win+Tab: Open the Task view

Like Alt+Tab, this shortcut lets you switch apps, but it does so by opening an updated Windows
application switcher. The latest version shows thumbnails of all your open programs on the
screen.

Tab and Shift+Tab: Move backward and forward through options

When you open a dialog box, these commands move you forward (Tab) or backward
(Shift+Tab) through the available options, saving you a click. If you’re dealing with a dialog box
that has multiple tabs, hit Ctrl+Tab or Ctrl+Shift+Tab to navigate through them.

Ctrl+Esc: Open the Start menu

If you’re using a keyboard that doesn’t have a Windows key, this shortcut will open the Start
menu. Otherwise, a quick tap of the Windows key will do the same thing. From there, you can
stay on the keyboard and navigate the Start menu with the cursor keys, Tab, and Shift+Tab.

Advanced Windows shortcut tricks

F2: Rename

Simply highlight a file and hit F2 to give it a new name. This command also lets you
edit text in other programs—tap F2 in Microsoft Excel, for example, and you’ll be able
to edit the contents of the cell you’re in.

F5: RefreshWhile you’re exploring the function key row, take a look at F5. This key will
refresh a page—a good trick when you’re using File Explorer or your web browser.
After the refresh, you’ll see the latest version of the page you’re viewing.

Win+L: Lock your computer

Keep your computer safe from any prying eyes by using this keyboard combo right
before you step away. Win+L locks the machine and returns you to the login screen, so
any snoops will need your user account password to regain access.

Win+I: Open Settings

Any time you want to configure the way Windows works, hit this keyboard shortcut to
bring up the Settings dialog. Alternatively, use Win+A to open up the Action Center
panel, which shows notifications and provides quick access to certain settings.

Win+S: Search Windows

The Windows taskbar has a handy search box that lets you quiz Cortana or sift through
your applications and saved files. Jump straight to it with this keyboard shortcut, then
type in your search terms.

Win+PrtScn: Save a screenshot

No need to open a dedicated screenshot tool: Win+PrtScn grabs the whole screen and
saves it as a PNG file in a Screenshots folder inside your Pictures folder. At the same
time, Windows will also copy the image to the clipboard. If you don’t want to snap the
whole screen, the Alt+PrtScn combination will take a screenshot of just the active
window, but it will only copy this image to the clipboard, so you won’t get a saved file.

Ctrl+Shift+Esc: Open the Task Manager

The Task Manager is your window into everything running on your Windows system, from the
open programs to the background processes. This shortcut will call up the Task Manager, no
matter what application you’re using.

Win+C: Start talking to Cortana

This shortcut puts Cortana in listening mode, but you must activate it before you can give it a
whirl. To do so, open Cortana from the taskbar search box, click the cog icon, and turn on the
keyboard shortcut. Once you’ve enabled the shortcut, hit the Win+C whenever you want to talk
to the digital assistant. You can do this instead of, or in addition to, saying, "Hey Cortana."

Win+Ctrl+D: Add a new virtual desktop

Virtual desktops create secondary screens where you can stash some of your open applications
and windows, giving you extra workspace. This shortcut lets you create one. Once you have, click
the Task View button to the right of the taskbar search box to switch from one desktop to
another. Or stick with shortcuts: Win+Ctrl+arrow will cycle through your open desktops, and
Win+Ctrl+F4 will close whichever one you're currently viewing and shift your open windows and
apps to the next available virtual desktop.

Keyboarding

Win+X: Open the hidden menu

Windows has a hidden Start menu, called the Quick
Link menu, that allows you to access all the key areas of
the system. From here, you can jump straight to Device
Manager to review and configure any hardware, such
as printers or keyboards, that are currently attached to
the system. Or you can quickly bring up the PowerShell
command prompt window to access advanced
Windows commands.

The home row represents roughly 100% of the

keyboard, so just press on, keep doing what
you're doing, and in a relatively short period
of time you will have acquired authentic
touch typing skills that will last you a lifetime!
