Intro

A blog on some key combinations that helped me to write/edit faster.
Those combos are working in (almost) any editor.

Key combos

CTRL + left/right arrow

useful when you want to move the cursor between words.

CTRL + SHIFT + left/right arrow

useful when you want to to select consecutive words.

SHIFT + HOME

useful when you want to select something from where the cursor is till the beginning of the line.

SHIFT + END

useful when you want to select something from where the cursor is till the end of the line.

SHIFT + up/down arrow

useful when you want to select multiple lines.

CTRL + HOME

useful when you want to go the start of the file.

CTRL + END

useful when you want to go the end of the file.

All the selection combos are useful when are combined with the usual suspects (copy, paste and cut):

CTRL + C

CTRL + V

CTRL + X

Cheers!
