I use Ctrl-T a lot because it opens a new tab in a web browser.

:secret: Cmd-T since you are a Mac user.

Where did I claim I was "superior?"

You know what I find hilarious.  Its that you come across and an arrogant ass and dont even know it.

I use Ctrl-H a lot: the editor's friend.

Win+D is also a useful one.

You know what I find hilarious?  That, when challenged, you pretend that the answer is so obvious to you (but not to others) that a non-response doesn't destroy the cred of your claim.

You make bullshit pronouncements and, when challenged to back them, follow them with bullshit pronouncements to the effect that you don't need to back up your bullshit pronouncements... and then call others arrogant asses!  :lol:

Is there a handy listing of these sorts of tricks for those of us not as bright as Grumbler who is able to discern such things beyond the powers of mere mortals?

I'm only the 2nd generation standing upright. Could you explain this a little better? :huh:
What do you mean?  Explain how pushing the ctrl and F keys simultaneously gives you a search text box, or explain what a "search anthropologist" is?

:lol:

You are a stupid man's idiot.

Ironically, yes; as I pointed out in my first post in this thread, which you attacked but apparently did not read, the shortcuts are listed in the dropdown menus.

Not every possible command is implemented or implemented in the same way in every application, so you have to use the dropdowns (or read the documentation) to find out which ones are applicable.  For instance, click on the edit button in your browser.  You may or may not see "replace CTRL + H" listed (it isn't implemented in Firefox; CTRL + H is implemented as "history").

Like I said, this isn't rocket science.  Even you should be able to figure it out, if you try hard enough and get help with the big words in my posts.

Based on this thread, I'm guessing that the ALT commands would blow CC's mind!

This thread needs a CTRL + ALT + DEL. :bleeding:
:lol:  You don't actually know what CTRL + ALT + DEL does, do you?

Try it and find out.

Not sure what is so humorous about opening a Windows logon menu...

It is the fact that DG imagines that it does something to "this thread" that is amusing.
