5 Computer Tips and Tricks from one of our New Tech Savvy Tutorial

Our new Tech Savvy Tips and Tricks tutorial will show you how to become quick and savvy with technology. It includes tips, advice, shortcuts and useful procedures for saving time and solving common issues while using a computer.

We’ve all had those moments when someone has shown us how to do something on a computer and it suddenly makes everything easier. Unfortunately, we usually forget what they showed us later when we need it. That’s what this tutorial is for. We hope to create a list of common tips and tricks that people can refer to whenever they need.
At this time we have lessons on Keyboard Shortcuts, Mouse Shortcuts and Password Tips. Over the next couple of months, we plan on adding additional lessons to the topic.
Here are five popular tips from our current lessons that we think you will find helpful:

When an application freezes on your computer, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Delete. This shortcut opens the Task Manager where you can then select the unresponsive application and quit it.
Triple-click your mouse to select a URL in your browser’s address bar. This makes it easy to copy and paste the URL. You can also triple-click a paragraph or double-click a word for faster selecting.
Need to find a word or phrase on a page with lots of text? Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F and a search box will appear on the page. You can then type the text you wish to find and it will become highlighted on the page. If it appears more then once, press Enter to move to the next instance. This tip is especially useful when trying to find something in a long list of data.
Can’t find a file or application that you downloaded? Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+D to open your Downloads folder.
Use a password manager like LastPass to remember all your passwords. When you sign into this application (with your master password) it will automatically input usernames and passwords into the sign on pages for the accounts you use. It will even generate strong passwords when you sign up for new accounts.

If you like these tips, here are some that we plan on adding soon:

Make text larger on the screen to help with readability
How to conserve your device’s battery life
Capture something displayed on your computer by taking a screenshot
Email and share photos
Safely connect to public wi-fi
