General Keyboard Shortcuts used in Windows XP

Its obvious that the most used peripheral device connected to the computer is mouse, after the Monitor: when talking about a basic user. Considering myself as an instance of a basic level user, I can't do anything without using a mouse. Even I've been using mouse more than keyboard in typing this post. But, moved by the question that: 'Why can't we use only keyboard in place of a mouse?' I've searched and found something interesting. Microsoft has designed some shortcuts for the functionality that can be done with a keyboard only. They have categorized them into several aspects, I've replicated some of them: the most general functions we do everyday, with a mouse. I've categorized them based on the key we use in the operation. I see some keys that are basically built for specific functionality. They are the 12 Function keys (F1-F12), Shift, Control (Ctrl), Alternate (Alt).


Control (Ctrl) Family:- 



The set of keys that come under this are, mainly file operations and some special functions. 



Ctrl+C : Copy
Ctrl+X : Delete selected item and save a copy to the clipboard
Ctrl+V           : Paste
Ctrl+Z           : Undo
Ctrl while : dragging an item (Copy the selected item)
Ctrl+Shift : while dragging an item (Create a shortcut to the selected item)
Ctrl+Right Arrow  : Move the cursor to the beginning of the next word
Ctrl+Left Arrow    : Move the cursor to the beginning of the previous word
Ctrl+Down Arrow  : Move the cursor to the beginning of the next paragraph 
Ctrl+Up Arrow : Move the cursor to the beginning of the previous paragraph
Ctrl+F4 : Close the active document in programs that enable multiple documents to be open at the same time
Ctrl+Shift with any arrow key : Highlight a block of text
Ctrl+A : Select all
Ctrl+Shift+Esc : Open Task Manager
Ctrl+Esc : Display the Start menu



Alternate (Alt) Family:-



The main function of the Alt key is to swap between processes, tasks etc., the keys in this are:


Alt+Enter         : View the properties for the selected item
Alt+F4         : Close the active item, or exit the active program 
Alt+Enter         : Display the properties of the selected object 
Alt+ Space-bar  : Open the shortcut menu for the active window
Alt+Tab                 : Switch between the open items
Alt+Esc                 : Cycle through items in the order in which they were opened
Alt+ Space-bar  : Display the System menu for the active window
Alt+Underlined letter in a menu name : Display the corresponding menu


Shift Family:-



Shift as the name indicates, shifts the control from one process or task to another, the keys in this:


Shift+F10 : Display the shortcut menu for the selected item
Shift+Delete : Delete the selected item permanently without moving the item to the Recycle Bin
Shift with any arrow key : Select more than one item in a window or on the desktop, or select text in a document
Shift when you insert a CD into the CD drive : Prevent the CD from automatically playing


Function Keys:-



There are 12 function keys exactly placed at the top of the keyboard, right in the first row:


F2 key : Rename the selected item
F3 key : Search for a file or a folder
F4 key : Display the Address bar list in My Computer or in Windows Explorer
F5 key : Update the active window (Refresh)

Children's Day: A Wake up Call

We Celebrate this day, as a token of  appreciation for children. Though the dates change with the places, all the nations pledge for a better future for their children. A child has no selfishness, jealous or any other like the people are. Children are pure as water and sweet and are noble in their thoughts and feelings.



"when I used to get to my brother at his 5,I used to make him cry for no reason being myself angry for nothing. But as soon as i'm upset he used to console me, tried to make laugh and finally when my anger's gone he used to feel happy."- says a friend of mine, remembering the cute things of his brother who's 15 now.

I'm telling this all to convey only one message- Children are the direct descendants of God, they are so Noble that they try to make us happy, for us its worth nothing-but for them, its their own way of happiness.

India celebrates its Children's Day on 14th of November every year, as a remembrance of our first Prime Minister and a National Freedom Leader Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. He was himself fond of this childish charisma, that he used to be called as "Chacha" (Uncle) to denote him, as a lovable person of children. He use to feel that Children are the bright future of India.



Children play with joy on this day in schools, with many cultural programs and activities for them and played by them. This day is truly a day for them, for the noble and kind heart they have and the love they shower on us.

But, the fact is that children are loosing their beautiful childhood. no one is nowadays happy, everyone's feeling this burden by the education methods and the blind marks we shun them for. but this is all in people of better economic classes. but what about the poor and the poorest among them? children are being forced to work and refrain from studies. they're not only loosing their childhood. they're loosing their future. Nehru's dream is not child labour and encouraging India. He dreamt fo a nation with children being free to study and choose their future.

Let this Children's Day be the initiative for a better Society for Children- 

For A Better Nation
