Keyboard shortcuts for cursor manipulation
When working with text, the mouse is extremely inefficient.
You'll waste less time if you start relying on keyboard shortcuts for cursor manipulation.
Need some help getting started?
In most Windows programs (like Outlook Express, Microsoft Word, etc.), SHIFT will traditionally 'select' and CTRL will 'move'.
CTRL+BACKSPACE will delete entire words at a time
CTRL+HOME will take you to the top of the document
CTRL+SHIFT+HOME will select all data between your cursor and the top of your document
CTRL+SHIFT+END will select all data between your cursor and the end of your document
SHIFT+HOME will select all text between where your cursor is and the beginning of that line.
SHIFT+END will select all text between where your cursor is and the ending of that line.
CTRL+LEFT ARROW will move you one word back
CTRL+RIGHT ARROW will move you one word right
Try other combinations of SHIFT, CTRL, HOME, END, BACKSPACE, LEFT ARROW, RIGHT ARROW, UP ARROW, and DOWN ARROW.
