I don't know a lot, but I do know that you can use CTRL+F to find something on a page. You can also use the F3 key to do the same thing. That seems to be really helpful for me when I am trying to find one sentence on a page full of many words.
I also know, just by mishap, that if you hit the F11 key that the top of your menu disappears. I only found this out because I kept hitting it by mistake. So finally I figured out what key I was hitting so that I could fix it when that occurs. If you have ever had this happen, you know what a pain it is.
Thanks for the tips. Maybe I'll come up with some more. Have a great day!

Thank you for the F11 tip. I always wondered how that happened. And it always happened at the damnedest times. I would manage to get it fixed. Don't remember what I did, but it wasn't by hitting F11 again!!!

Im suprised that this hasn't been mentioned but Alt F4 closes a window and doing Ctrl Backspace either makes a cool box (when it doesn't have a set function) or it does something else changing when you visit differant sites ect.. (Iv noticed that in MyLot it deleates stuff a word at a time)

CTRL+A is the one I use the most. It selects the whole page. Then I can copy & paste as needed!!!
