These shortcuts can also be pressed multiple times to undo or redo multiple changes. On Apple computers, use Command+ Z and Command+ Y to undo and redo. Use the above text input field to highlight some or all the text and then press Ctrl+ X to cut the text. Once the text has disappeared, press the Ctrl+ Z to undo the cut. If you did the first example as well (cut and paste text) and you continue to press Ctrl+ Z, it will undo that change. Pressing Ctrl+ F opens the Find field, which lets you search the text currently displayed in any program that supports it. For example, Ctrl+ F can be used in your Internet browser to find text on the current page. Press Ctrl+ F now to open the Find in your browser and search for 'shortcut' to display each time shortcut is mentioned on this page. On Apple computers, use Command+ F to find.Ĭtrl+ G may be used to repeat a search (from using Ctrl+ F) in a document or on a web page. Pressing Alt+ Tab switches between open programs moving forward. For example, if you have your browser window open and other programs running in the background, press and hold Alt, then press the Tab key to cycle through each open program. On Apple computers, instead of using the Alt key use the Command (Cmd) key. For example, Command+ Tab to switch between open programs. The following shortcuts are for PC users only and do not work on Apple computers. Pressing Ctrl+ Backspace deletes a full word at a time instead of a single character. Holding down the Ctrl while pressing the left or right arrow moves the cursor one word at a time instead of one character at a time. If you want to highlight one word at a time, hold down Ctrl+ Shift, then press the left or right arrow key. Your highlighted selection moves one word at a time in that direction.

Here is example text to help demonstrate how you can delete multiple words at a time using Ctrl+Backspace. Click anywhere and then press Ctrl+Backspace to delete one word at a time instead of one character.
