Default Short-cut key commands

Just wondering if anyone know a good doc/list/page listing all the shortcut
keys default built into Windows XP? I tried looking it up in help, but it
only gave a couple and by no means was all of them.

I already know and love: (commands not specific to an application, but
short-cut keys to Windows XP itself)

F1 - Help
F2 - Rename
F3 - Find/Search
WINDOW-E = Windows Explorer
WINDOW-R = Run
ALT-F4 = Close
ALT-TAB = Switch windows
CTRL-ESC = Start Menu
ALT-SPACE = Window Control Menu (?) I think this is what they called back in
the days of Windows 3.1!!!!

a.. Sticky Keys allows one to press and release a modifier key and have it toggle on. Instead of pressing Ctrl + S to save a file, pressing Ctrl THEN S will save the file. Press once to modify the next key only, press twice to lock and to modify all subsequent key presses untill pressed a third time.
b.. Toggle Keys makes the toggle keys (Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock) make a tone when pressed. See another tip about Caps Lock at the end of the next section (Entering International Characters).
c.. The Display tab in Accessibility in Control Panel can change the width of the caret (text cursor).
d.. Mouse Keys allow one to use the numeric keypad as a mouse.
e.. On Screen Keyboard (Start - All Programs - Accessories - Accessibility or Winkey + U) allows typing with only a mouse.

Mouse Keys
Note: All these keys are on the numeric keypad. Some keys are optional and are set in Accessibility in Control Panel.

Entering International Characters
There is a number of ways of entering international characters and symbols.

a.. Use Character Map.
b.. Use Alt + the character code entered on the numeric keypad
c.. Use the US International Keyboard
a.. The Alt Gr Key
a.. Dead Keys
d.. Tips
[Back to Contents]

Entering International Characters - Character Map
Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Character Map and transfer via the clipboard.

Run Character Map

[Back to International Contents]

Alt + Character Code
Holding down alt and pressing the character code on the numeric keypad will enter that character. The keyboard language in use must support entering that character. If your keyboard supports it the code is shown on the right hand side of the status bar in Character Map else this section of the status bar is empty.

However there is two ways of entering codes. The point to remember here that the characters are the same for the first 127 codes. The difference is if the first number typed is a zero of not. If it is then the code will insert the character from the current character set else it will insert a character from the OEM character set.

E.G., Alt + 0 then 6 then 5 then release Alt enters the letter A

[Back to International Contents]

Entering International Characters - US International Keyboards
Install the US International keyboard. Start - Control Panel - Regional And Language Options - Languages - Details - Add. While here review the Key Settings to switch keyboards or turn on the Language Bar (Advanced Text Services must not be disabled).

This works in two modes. Right Alt or Shift + Right Alt + another key and also by pressing dead keys (such as accents). On non US Keyboards the Right Alt key is called Alt Gr.

Right Alt is the same key as Ctrl + Left Alt on the US International keyboards, and on almost all keyboards except the standard US keyboards where left and right keys are treated the same . This is a reason why Ctrl + Alt should not be used to set hotkeys. Also F12 should also not be used for hotkeys as it's reserved for attaching a debugger.

The Right Alt Keys
Key Description
Right Alt + 1 i
Right Alt + 2 ²
Right Alt + 3 ³
Right Alt + 4 ¤
Right Alt + 5 €
Right Alt + 6 1/4
Right Alt + 7 1/2
Right Alt + 8 3/4

[Back to International Contents]

The Dead Keys
The dead keys are the apostrophe ('), quotation mark ("), accent grave (`), tilde (~), and caret (^). If these are pressed the system waits for the next key. If it is in the list below then it enters the symbol character else it enters both keys seperately. These work with uppercase where appropiate.

Get a new keyboard. If keys do not work on your present keyboard it is
worthless.

Default Short-cut key commands

Wesley,
Would you or someone know how to unlock a document? I can not get any text
to type in Word or Power Point. The icons are faded out also. The bottom
says that the document can not be modified. I know I have hit something
wrong. I have a presentation to work on and I am stuck. Thanks for any help.

Default Short-cut key commands

Please Help does anyone out there know if you can change the defalt keyboard
shortcuts in XP Pro. The problem is that I need to use the F3 key in a
remote desktop funtion, but from time to time when I use it it performs the
local defalt search.

Just wondering if anyone know a good doc/list/page listing all the shortcut
keys default built into Windows XP? I tried looking it up in help, but it
only gave a couple and by no means was all of them.

I already know and love: (commands not specific to an application, but
short-cut keys to Windows XP itself)

F1 - Help
F2 - Rename
F3 - Find/Search
WINDOW-E = Windows Explorer
WINDOW-R = Run
ALT-F4 = Close
ALT-TAB = Switch windows
CTRL-ESC = Start Menu
ALT-SPACE = Window Control Menu (?) I think this is what they called back in
the days of Windows 3.1!!!!
