ZandraJoi Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I love doing them! I printed out a list so I can remember the codes. Some I have memorized however, the ones I use on a daily basis. I rather press a button on the keyboard. Any way I don't stress my wrists, the better for me! So do you use them? If so, do you have any favorites? I like the one for the degree symbol ° & the cents ¢. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I use some of the basic ones to just save a bit of time. Things like cut, copy, paste, save, new and even print. Almost forgot about selecting everything as well which is quite useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I use alt and left or right when browsing to go forwards or back. F5 to refresh, and cut, copy, paste as Ash says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
