I'm sharing Windows keyboard shortcuts that I use often. To save time and typing, I've copied the hints below from articles at the Lifewire website.
Select Items
* CTRL+A: Select all items in a window, on the desktop, or all text in a document
* Shift+Any Arrow Key: Select text within a document (e.g., one letter at a time) or one item at a time in a window
* CTRL+Shift+Any Arrow Key: Select a block of text (e.g., a whole word at a time)
Format Text
Hit these combinations before typing or after selecting to bold, italicize, or underline
* CTRL+B: Bold text
* CTRL+I: Italicize text
* CTRL+U: Underline text
Work with Tabs and Windows
* CTRL+T: Open a new tab in your web browser
* CTRL+Shift+T: Reopen a tab you just closed (e.g., by accident)
* CTRL+H: View your browsing history
* CTRL+W: Close a window
Move the Cursor
* CTRL+Right Arrow: Move the cursor to the beginning of the next word
* CTRL+Left Arrow: Move the cursor back 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 back to the beginning of the previous paragraph
* CTRL+Home: Go to the start of a document
* CTRL+End: Go to the end of a document
Take a Screenshot
(you won't see anything happen onscreen when using these shortcuts)
* ALT+Print Screen: Capture a screenshot of active window
* CTRL+Print Screen: Capture the entire screen/desktop
