Shortcut Keys
Like MS Windows and Mac operating systems, shortcut keys can increase your productivity. Many of the shortcut keys in Linux are similar to the shortcut keys in MS Windows, but there are occasional differences.
Listing of Shortcut Keys
Here are a list of shortcut keys by category:
Assign / Change Shortcut Key Operations
Mouse Shortcuts
Linux has a great mouse shortcut that MS Windows doesn't have (at least by default). To quickly copy and paste text:
- Select text with mouse.
- Move to area to paste text, and click the middle mouse button.
I'm always surprised that MS Windows haven't adopted this neat shortcut (at least from default install of the OS). It is just another reason why I like working in the Linux environment... Which is really interesting since being a computer college professor, I can usually receive free Windows operating systems and get major discounts on educational versions of MS Windows applications... but still I prefer working in Linux...
