Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V are copy&#x2F;paste<p>Ctrl+X is Cut. I had to learn this from a friend after I accidentally hit Ctrl+X &amp; thought I lost what I was typing, they told me to hit Ctrl+V<p>Ctrl+Z undo. Redo is often Ctrl+Y or Ctrl+Shift+Z, or Ctrl+Z in Notepad where you don&#x27;t have an undo queue<p>Ctrl+L focuses the location bar in browsers<p>Ctrl+Shift+N is private browsing in Chrome, but Ctrl+Shift+P in Firefox<p>Alt-Tab allows cycling windows (especially important when working with only 1 monitor)<p>Windows+LeftArrow &#x2F; Windows+RightArrow can be used to split windows on the desktop<p>Shift clicking in Diablo 2 can be used to quickly move pots into belt. While 1&#x2F;2&#x2F;3&#x2F;4 drink, Shift 1&#x2F;2&#x2F;3&#x2F;4 can be used to heal your mercenary. Shift clicking in shop will buy enough to fill belt. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;classic.battle.net&#x2F;diablo2exp&#x2F;items&#x2F;potions.shtml" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;classic.battle.net&#x2F;diablo2exp&#x2F;items&#x2F;potions.shtml</a><p>A coworker was doing a repetitive SQL script modification, so he printed out <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;helloacm.com&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2015&#x2F;09&#x2F;vi-vim-cheat-sheet.jpg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;helloacm.com&#x2F;wp-content&#x2F;uploads&#x2F;2015&#x2F;09&#x2F;vi-vim-cheat...</a> after I suggested vim would pay for itself in this instance (I&#x27;m pretty sure it did, I personally found a lot of help using vim macros to implement data imports from pdf scans)<p>Keyboard shortcuts you may want if you end up in bash: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.howtogeek.com&#x2F;howto&#x2F;ubuntu&#x2F;keyboard-shortcuts-for-bash-command-shell-for-ubuntu-debian-suse-redhat-linux-etc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.howtogeek.com&#x2F;howto&#x2F;ubuntu&#x2F;keyboard-shortcuts-fo...</a>
