ON A COMPUTER MOUSE

Little secrets computer mouse

 

A person can use for years some technique, not knowing it all its properties and hidden features. Computer mouse and keyboard have become so familiar to us the things that seem to be anything new, they did not surprise us. Here are some little known ways to use the functions of a computer mouse, which you can greatly facilitate the work with texts and browsers.

1 Isolation of the text

We all know that in order to highlight the text you must hold down the left mouse button and hold the cursor on the desired portion of text. However, if we need to highlight the text on the page length, that is scrollable, it is not always convenient. Therefore, use the following combination: click at the beginning of the desired location, then go to the end of the desired selection and click again, but holding the clamped Shift. All the space between the two clicks are highlighted.

2 transitions back and forth in the browser

In the browser to go to the previous or next page do not necessarily clicking on the appropriate button on the toolbar.You can simply hold down the Shift key and rotate the mouse wheel forward or back.

3 Zoom in and out

You can change the display scale of the open page, just turning the scroll at the same time while holding the button on the keyboard CTRL. This method works in a large number of programs, including many image viewer.

4 Double-and triple-click

Everyone knows that in order to highlight the word you just need to double click on it to quickly arm. But if you do the triple-click, you can select from a paragraph of text. Try it, it is much more convenient than pulling the cursor selection to end of paragraph.

5 Drag and drop, right-click

To move files on Windows, we use the drag-and-drop (English literally "drag-and-drop it"), that is, we take an element, drag it to the desired location, and there throw. But you can do the same right, and then we will see a context menu that allows you to not only move, but also to copy the file and create a shortcut in the right place.

6: Selecting multiple images into text

If you are working with long text in which you have to cut only fragments of interest to you, you do not have to do it one by one. You can hold down the CTRL key and highlight the right words, sentences, paragraphs. Then copy it all in one fell swoop to the right place.

7 Open links in a new tab

Many users have already used that to open this link in a new tab, you can press the middle mouse button. However, if the wheel broke and do not click, it is useful to remember that a normal mouse while holding down the CTRL key leads to the same result.
