Shift + T , and the closed tab will magically reappear.

it, whether you're on a Mac or a Windows PC:

right part of the screen you want to capture. Release your hand and the image will be saved
to the desktop,
For Windows machines, go to Start and select Snipping Tool.
3. Redo the command just done on Excel
Too simple, just F4, that's it. For example, you set the order to black out a cell and highlight
the whole yellow. Now, to highlight another cell in yellow, simply highlight that cell and press
F4.

Click the middle button of the mouse, and you've opened a link in a new browser. And if you
middle click on a tab, it will close. So fast, so simple!

drag the file. It's as simple as that, do you know how?

Which button would you press to pause the video playing on YouTube? The empty way? If
so, then you are sorely mistaken. To pause a YouTube video, press the K key , to resume
playback, press the K key again . To fast forward 10 seconds, press J , to rewind 10
seconds, press L .
7. Move the window to any side of the screen or to the next
screen

window will be moved to the respective sides of the screen. Likewise, when you press
Windows + Shift + arrow keys , you will move the Windows window to whatever screen is
on the corresponding side. Unfortunately, this feature is only available on Windows
machines.
8. Clear cache in seconds
To quickly clear the memory, just press Control + Shift + R . This will also refresh your
page.

unfinished work, so don't forget to press the Windows + L key combination .

optical drive).

really terrify your friend.

and even draw, try copying the following lines into the address bar: data:text/html,

an image, you can track it down and find out what website the image originates from.
