NOC is Thankful For: Keyboard Shortcuts
by Jon Lober | NOC Technology
Some of our staff members share their favorite keyboard + shortcuts.
This Thanksgiving, NOC Technology is thankful for the little technical accessories that make life just a little more pleasant. The timer on the coffee pot that lets us wake up to fresh brewed coffee. The remote start for the car for chilly mornings. Our Bluetooth headphones that keep us from fumbling with cords.
And for those of us that spend most of our days at a computer… keyboard shortcuts.
In the spirit of sharing, our team wanted to pass along a few of the Windows shortcuts that make life behind a keyboard just a little easier.
Though they might not be essential, they sure are nice—consider them the coffeepot timers of the digital world.
