5 things you didn't know your keyboard's Shift button can do

5 things you didn't know your keyboard's Shift button can do

The Shift key is the second largest on your keyboard. As a modifier key, it's mainly used to type capital letters and symbols at the top of other keys. But you can do much more with it, such as scroll horizontally, cut and paste and highlight text. Here are five ways to use your Shift key and increase productivity.

Tap or click here for five tricks to try with your Shift key. →

Quick tip of the day

Whether your eyesight isn’t what it used to be or you want to see something on your screen in greater detail, zoom is there to help.

Pro secret: If you have a mouse with a wheel connected to your PC, hold down the Ctrl key and then scroll with your mouse. Scroll up to zoom in and down to zoom out.

To use your keyboard only:

  • On a Windows machine, press the Windows key + plus sign (+) to zoom in and the Windows key + minus sign (-) to zoom out.
  • On a Mac, press Option + Cmd + equal sign (=) to zoom in and Option + Cmd + minus sign (-) to zoom out.
