3 Quick Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows


1) When stepping away from your computer it is good practice to lock your screen. To do this press and hold down the Windows Key and press the 'L' key. This will lock your screen and require you to sign back in to unlock it. Don’t know where the Windows key is? There are two on your keyboard, you can find them two spaces from the left or right of your space bar.



2) Have you ever closed a browser tab accidentally? Press and hold Control, Shift and 'T' all at the same time. This will open up the last tab closed. Did you close more than one? Press that keyboard combination again to open up the next closed tab. This trick works in modern versions of Internet Explorer, Edge, Chrome, and Firefox.

3) Did you know you can view more than one window at a time on your monitor screen? On Windows 10 you can snap your open windows to the left, right, up, or down all on the same screen. To do this hold down the Windows Key and press the Left, Right, Up, or Down Arrows.
