Ctrl F

 


Did you know you can use Ctrl F on almost all screens to find something you are looking for. Above is my MadSnapper blog, I have a zillion labels, I hit Ctrl F and typed resurrection to find the label. 

sometimes I want to know if someone commented, and I do Ctrl F and type in the name, this one I typed rose and it goes to her and keep hitting enter and you can find each time she commented.

Two examples of using your control key and the letter F.

Yikes, there we are! I knew nothing about this because I don't know keyboard commands. Phil does, because that's how he learned years ago. But I bet he doesn't know this one.

Oh dear does that mean you can a sort of reverse stalking on your followers? Actually that could be really useful for all kinds of searches.

Yes, the control keys have been around since the beginning of coding... but I guess these basics have been forgotten (or never taught) now that there are so many touch screens and other 'tools' provided - supposedly to 'enhance the user experience'. Gimmicks. Gimme the basics like this! YAM xx

I did not know this. Even if I had known it I probably would have forgot it. Any of the shortcut keys I tend to forget about.

I knew about the control f but I rarely use it.
I would need a cheat sheet to remember what is what.
Take care, have a great day!

I did not know (or remember) this... It's not something I've been using recently, at least. So thanks!
