Keyboarding and Documents Processing 6 “THE BOTTOM ROW” MS. MARY GRACE C. CORONADO NO. 6 Keyboarding THE BOTTOM ROW 1. Find the new key on the illustrated keyboard. Then find it on your keyboard. 2. Watch your finger make the new key a few times. Keep other fingers curved in home position. For an upward reach, straighten the finger slightly; for a down reach, curve the finger a bit more. 3. Used these directions for learning all new key reaches. NO. 6 Keyboarding This will make it easier to reach the new keys you will learn in this lesson. Strike the keys with only enough force required to register a keystroke. As you encounter new keys, slow down as much as necessary to reach them with accuracy. NO. 6 Keyboarding NO. 6 Keyboarding 1. Bottom Row Keys 2. Windows Key short Cut. NO. 6 Keyboarding The bottom row keys are the ten keys found below the home row keys on a QWERTY US keyboard. The bottom row keys include the Z, X, C, V, and B keys for the left hand and N, M, comma, period, and forward slash keys for the right hand. In the picture above, the hands are positioned on the home row keys and the bottom row keys are below the home row keys. With a Dvorak keyboard the top row keys are :, Q, J, K, and X keys with the left hand and B, M, W, V, and Z keys with the right hand. NO. 6 Keyboarding What words are formed using the bottom row letters? There are no words that can be formed by using only the letters on the bottom row. However, using some of the other rows you could form the following words. Bottom row letter word examples  Z - zero zebra zigzag zipper zoo  X - xenops xerox xiphias  C - crony coal code cola  V - vacuum vest violin volcano vote vowel  B - balloon bee bird broom butterfly  N - navigation net nine number  M - mitten moon mouse NO. 6 Keyboarding Basic Windows keyboard shortcuts Ctrl+Z: Undo No matter what program you’re running, Ctrl+Z will roll back your last action. Whether you’ve just overwritten an entire paragraph in Microsoft Word or deleted a file you didn’t mean to, this one is an absolute lifesaver. Ctrl+W: Close Another shortcut that works just about everywhere, Ctrl+W will close down whatever you’re viewing. Shut that File Explorer window, browser tab, or open image file without bothering to hone in on the close button. Ctrl+A: Select all This command lets you highlight all the text in a document or select all the files in a folder. Hitting Ctrl+A can save you time you’d otherwise spend clicking and dragging your mouse. Alt+Tab: Switch apps This baby is one of the classic Windows shortcuts, and it can be hugely useful when you’re running multiple applications. Just press Alt+Tab and you’ll be able to quickly flick through all your open windows NO. 6 Keyboarding Alt+F4: Close apps Another old-school shortcut, Alt+F4 shuts down active apps so you can skip the process of hunting down their on-screen menus. Don’t worry about losing unsaved work with this command—it will prompt you to save your documents before closing them. Windows navigation shortcuts Win+D: Show or hide the desktop This keyboard combo minimizes all your open windows, bringing your home screen into view. If you store rows and rows of files and shortcuts on your desktop, Win+D will let you access them in in moments. Win+left arrow or Win+right arrow: Snap windows Snapping a window simply opens it on one side of the screen (left or right, depending on which arrow you hit). This allows you to compare two windows side-by-side and keeps your workspace organized. NO. 6 Keyboarding Win+Tab: Open the Task view Like Alt+Tab, this shortcut lets you switch apps, but it does so by opening an updated Windows application switcher. The latest version shows thumbnails of all your open programs on the screen. Tab and Shift+Tab: Move backward and forward through options When you open a dialog box, these commands move you forward (Tab) or backward (Shift+Tab) through the available options, saving you a click. If you’re dealing with a dialog box that has multiple tabs, hit Ctrl+Tab or Ctrl+Shift+Tab to navigate through them. Ctrl+Esc: Open the Start menu If you’re using a keyboard that doesn’t have a Windows key, this shortcut will open the Start menu. Otherwise, a quick tap of the Windows key will do the same thing. From there, you can stay on the keyboard and navigate the Start menu with the cursor keys, Tab, and Shift+Tab. NO. 6 Keyboarding Advanced Windows shortcut tricks F2: Rename Simply highlight a file and hit F2 to give it a new name. This command also lets you edit text in other programs—tap F2 in Microsoft Excel, for example, and you’ll be able to edit the contents of the cell you’re in. F5: RefreshWhile you’re exploring the function key row, take a look at F5. This key will refresh a page—a good trick when you’re using File Explorer or your web browser. After the refresh, you’ll see the latest version of the page you’re viewing. Win+L: Lock your computer Keep your computer safe from any prying eyes by using this keyboard combo right before you step away. Win+L locks the machine and returns you to the login screen, so any snoops will need your user account password to regain access. NO. 6 Keyboarding Win+I: Open Settings Any time you want to configure the way Windows works, hit this keyboard shortcut to bring up the Settings dialog. Alternatively, use Win+A to open up the Action Center panel, which shows notifications and provides quick access to certain settings. Win+S: Search Windows The Windows taskbar has a handy search box that lets you quiz Cortana or sift through your applications and saved files. Jump straight to it with this keyboard shortcut, then type in your search terms. Win+PrtScn: Save a screenshot No need to open a dedicated screenshot tool: Win+PrtScn grabs the whole screen and saves it as a PNG file in a Screenshots folder inside your Pictures folder. At the same time, Windows will also copy the image to the clipboard. If you don’t want to snap the whole screen, the Alt+PrtScn combination will take a screenshot of just the active window, but it will only copy this image to the clipboard, so you won’t get a saved file. NO. 6 Keyboarding Ctrl+Shift+Esc: Open the Task Manager The Task Manager is your window into everything running on your Windows system, from the open programs to the background processes. This shortcut will call up the Task Manager, no matter what application you’re using. Win+C: Start talking to Cortana This shortcut puts Cortana in listening mode, but you must activate it before you can give it a whirl. To do so, open Cortana from the taskbar search box, click the cog icon, and turn on the keyboard shortcut. Once you’ve enabled the shortcut, hit the Win+C whenever you want to talk to the digital assistant. You can do this instead of, or in addition to, saying, "Hey Cortana." Win+Ctrl+D: Add a new virtual desktop Virtual desktops create secondary screens where you can stash some of your open applications and windows, giving you extra workspace. This shortcut lets you create one. Once you have, click the Task View button to the right of the taskbar search box to switch from one desktop to another. Or stick with shortcuts: Win+Ctrl+arrow will cycle through your open desktops, and Win+Ctrl+F4 will close whichever one you're currently viewing and shift your open windows and apps to the next available virtual desktop. NO. 6 Keyboarding Win+X: Open the hidden menu Windows has a hidden Start menu, called the Quick Link menu, that allows you to access all the key areas of the system. From here, you can jump straight to Device Manager to review and configure any hardware, such as printers or keyboards, that are currently attached to the system. Or you can quickly bring up the PowerShell command prompt window to access advanced Windows commands. NO. 5 Keyboarding The home row represents roughly 100% of the keyboard, so just press on, keep doing what you're doing, and in a relatively short period of time you will have acquired authentic touch typing skills that will last you a lifetime!
