If you’re anything like me, then switching back and forth between the mouse and keyboard is a royal pain. Enter Hotkeys. Windows 7 has been blessed with lots of ‘em.

Read following and you’ll probably find some you didn’t know about.

Alt-Codes:

For everyone who wonders how to enter characters into your text documents that aren’t on your keyboard.

This includes symbols like the Copyright © or Trademark ®.

To make this work, hold down the ALT-Key while you type in the associated number on the Numeric Keypad. This will not work with the number keys at the top of your keyboard.
