Yeah, some of these are very basic but I decided to leave them in here anyway because I have had people I worked with in the IT field even that didn't know they could CTRL+V to paste. They were so used to right clicking they just didn't know. There were actually a couple in here I didn't know about myself, which is rather unusual coming from one that hates to use the mouse. Without any further ado, I continue with my list of kick ass shortcuts!
