CtrlHome and CtrlEnd don't highlight/select to the beginning or end of the line in my Word 2003. They move the cursor to the top of the page or the end of the page. CtrlShiftHome and CtrlShiftEnd highlight/select from the cursor to the top or bottom of the page.
Any other suggestions for highlighting/selecting just to the beginning or end of the line?

Leave out the CTRL part.

"Ctrl-Home: Selects all text from the cursor's current position to the beginning of the line."
"Ctrl-End: Selects all text from the cursor's current position to the end of the line."
These two shortcuts are wrong.
Ctrl + End actually moves the cursor to the very end of the text. Not of the line and without selecting anything.
Ctrl + Home moves the cursor to the very top of the text. Not of the line and without selecting anything.

Shift - Home or Shift - End

I had hoped this would be an article describing a method of CREATING shortcuts. I have one program in particular that has no drop down menus, but I'd love to have a keyboard shortcut to maximize the window. I have yet to find a way to create a global keyboard shortcut, and am shocked that: (A) It seems impossible, and (B) it would seem that I'm the only that wants to.
But then again... back in the DOS days, few people took advantage of the power of ANSI.SYS to create them either. But at least it was an option back then.

Regarding the touch-pad toggle, my Asus X51R notebook already has that. It's Fn+F9.

Too many errors. I've been using keyboard shortcuts for many years, and for some of the hints I just said, "Huh?'

ITS ABOUT BEING ABLE



TO CLICK AND GO

when internet is easy to use

For safety I always use Alt F4 to close pop ups after selecting them from task bar (or from ALT tab). Just because a box says click here to close means that is all it does. Alt tab is also useful for showing what windows are open usful if pc suddendly slows.

Usually, to maximize a window you can hit ALT, Space, X. To create a shortcut key to a program or file, make a shortcut file (.lnk) and in the Shortcut tab of the properties of that shortcut you can give it a shortcut key combination.

If the cursor is in the middle of a line of text,

Shift-home selects from the cursor to the beginning of the line

Shift-end selects from the cursor to the end of the line

Shift-ctrl-home selects text from the cursor to the beginning of the document

Shift-ctrl-end selects text from the cursor to the end of the document

Ctrl-home moves to the beginning of the document

Ctrl-end moves to the end of the document

using Windows key and numbers isn't launching any programs on my quick launch toolbar. XP pro.

It works with Vista only, as was stated in the discussion below the original article.

Alt--X only works if the window has any kind of drop down menu system. This window has none (WoW's login window). The programmers at Blizzard apparently don't understand the distinction between "maximized" and "full screen" (the former show the task bar, the latter does not). Even in Windows mode, Maximized actually means Full Screen.

Same situation for me, exactly. Doesn't work at all in XP pro.
