Only screenshot the part of the screen you want.
If
you only need to screenshot part of the screen, there's a simple way
to do it for both Windows and Macs.
For
Mac: "Command," plus "Shift," plus "4"
brings up the tool. Then you just drag the area you want.
For
Windows: Just go to "Start" and then "Snipping
Tool."
Easily
repeat your last command in Excel.
If
you press the F4 button in Excel, it repeats the last command.
If
you select a cell and highlight it yellow, you can then highlight any
other selected cell(s) yellow by pressing F4."
Open
a link in a new browser tab with one click.
If
you click the "middle" button on your mouse, you will open
the link in a new browser tab. And if you middle-click an open tab,
it will close it.
Make
a copy of a file by just dragging it.
All
you have to do to make a copy of a file on a Mac is hold the "Alt"
key ("Control" if you are using a PC) and then click and
drag the file. This will make a copy that you can drop anywhere you
want by un-clicking.
Reverse
search an image in Chrome.
In
Google Chrome, if you press "S" while you right click on an
image it will do a reverse Google search. That means you'll be able
to see where that photo is and where it potentially originated.
Pause
YouTube with one click, or skip backward and forward 10 seconds.
Most
people know you can hit the space bar to pause a YouTube video, but
sometimes this causes it to scroll down the page if you haven't
already clicked on the video. If you press "K," this will
play (or pause) the video every time.
Hitting
the "J" key will cause you to go backward 10 seconds, while
hitting the "L" key will make you go forward 10 seconds.
Move
your window to any side of the screen, or to the next monitor.
If
you click the "Windows" key, plus one of the arrows (right,
left, up, down), your current window will move to that side of the
screen.
Similarly,
"Windows," plus "Shift," plus one of the arrows
will move your window into whatever monitor is that way (right, for
example).
Unfortunately,
this only works for Windows machines.
Clear
you cache in seconds.
Quickly
clear your cache by pressing "Control," plus "Shift,"
plus "R." This will also refresh your page.
Lock
your computer in seconds.
On
a Windows machine, hit "Windows," plus "L"
to lock your computer. This can be fun for pranks.
On
a Mac click "Command," plus "Option," plus
"Eject." (Or "Power" if your computer doesn't
have an optical drive.)
Freak
people out by rotating their screen.
If
you press "Control" plus "Alt" plus one of the
arrow keys, it will rotate your screen that way. Note: this doesn't
work for all computers (and only on Windows), but when it does, it
can seriously freak someone out.
Turn
your browser window into a simple text editor.
If
you want to bring up a basic text editor you can type in, just paste
this into the address bar in your browser:
data:text/html,
<title>Text Editor</title><body contenteditable
style="font-size:2rem;font-family:georgia;line-height:1.4;max-width:60rem;margin:0
auto;padding:4rem;">
Edit
what you Chrome browser looks like.
If
you want to play a trick on someone, and send them a fake screenshot
of something that never existed, there's an easy way in Chrome. First
you bring up the console by pressing "F12."
Then
you enter: document.designMode = "on"
After
this, you can edit any of the text that appears on the screen.
Clear you cache in seconds.
