Time Saver: [CTRL]+[Arrow] Around Your Docs

Want to be a keyboard ninja? Next time you're editing text on your computer, use [CTRL]+[Arrow Left/Right] to get to where you're going.

For Mac users: [Alt]+[Arrow] or [Option]+[Arrow]

A lot of people are very familiar with using the [Home] and [End] keys to get to the beginning and end of the line they are editing, but it seems not nearly as many are aware of the [CTRL]+[Arrow] trick. Instead of moving the cursor one character at a time, it will move it one word at a time. If the average word in your document is five letters long, using this tip could help you go back and fix that typo five times faster than not using it.

Some people out there measure your computer prowess by how much you avoid the mouse. Some people get all into mouse gestures. I, for one, am a big fan of doing what works best for you. And that should naturally change with what you're working on.

See the ninja, be the ninja,
