Mine is using the arrow keys to navigate typed text while writing and editing. It helps speed things up, versus having to move your hand to the mouse to navigate.

Use the Up and Down Arrows to move/jump vertically.

Left and Right Arrows to move/jump horizontally.

Combine Left or Right Arrow with Shift to be able to select text. Use Up or Down Arrow with Shift to quickly select whole/nearly whole sections of text.

Combine Control with Left/Right Arrow to jump whole words to more quickly move to where you want to type.

    There’s a setting in windows that opens snipping tool when print screen is pressed. This allows to select a screen, window or a rectangle. More than that, it also has screen recording functionality. Very good for quick screen grabs with no additional software required.

    Win+Shift+S is the keyboard shortcut. You can even do screen recordings. I use that shit all the time at work, to send bug reports when the useless fucking software we’re forced to use has a repeatable crash that the dev team can’t replicate with text reports alone.

      I was gonna post this one! I cannot stress the amount of time it has saved me in life. Also great combo with the clipboard history enabled so you can take a bunch of screenshots at once, then paste them elsewhere later. Great for doing user instructions.

      From my experience win+shift+s take a screen shot of all the screens. Print screen opens this small snipping tool widget at the top that gives me more control. Now the behavior might have changed since I’ve found it, windows 11 wasn’t a thing back then and snipping tool got some updates in recent years.
