    double click +drag selects entire words–no more trying to precisely aim the mouse to leave out a period

    triple click + drag selects entire paragraphs

    in some cases you can select text and just drag it elsewhere, eliminates the need for copy & paste

    ctrl + shift + esc = task manager

    winkey + m = minimize everything

      Ctrl+shift and L/R arrow keys also selects entire words, and up/down selects entire rows. No more taking your hands off the keyboard to select text!

      My favorite that I can’t believe not everyone uses is ctrl+backspace to delete a whole word at once. Totally butchered typing something? Start over quickly. Need to delete most of your sentence? Delete it in just a few taps.
