The idea of losing an hour or even a day’s work is ridiculous. Do that and you should never lose more than a paragraph or two even if there’s a power glitch. It should be a reflex action to hit Ctrl-S whenever you pause when creating a document. The most useful example is Ctrl-S, which is the Save command. Many are now part of my “motor memory” so I don’t even have to think about them. I started computing before mice were widely available, making keyboard shortcuts essential. Thanks to the “ sticky keys” feature in Microsoft Windows, Apple’s MacOS and other operating systems, you can use keyboard shortcuts even if you’re typing with, for example, a head-mounted pointing stick. They are also important to people who cannot use a mouse for physical reasons, which can include repetitive strain injuries (RSI).
I recommend the use of keyboard shortcuts because they save a lot of time, and sometimes a lot of unsaved work.
I’m always shocked by the number of people who don’t even seem to know they exist. Could you provide some information on Windows keyboard shortcuts? I find them so useful, and am sure there are many that I don’t know about.
