In this lesson, you will find the main Windows 7 hotkeys; after reading, you will use your computer much more efficiently than you used it before.

Hotkeys is a method of interaction between the keyboard and the computer. This method consists of executing commands (operations) on a computer using keys or key combinations to which commands (operations) are programmed.

It’s very difficult to get used to something new, so you shouldn’t start memorizing all the keys. To begin with, take 10-20 pieces to use, and then use others, so to speak, expanding your knowledge. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that each program can use its own hot keys, which were programmed by the developers of this program.

If you use Windows 7 hotkeys daily, at least 10 of them, you will notice how much more efficient your work will become. See the list of hotkeys in Windows 7 below.

P.S. Dessert for today, video about Windows 7 hotkeys.

Windows hotkeys are used to simplify (speed up) the user's work with the computer. This is achieved by minimizing user interaction with the mouse.

Most combinations combine the Windows logo key with other keys on your keyboard. For example, the keyboard shortcut Windows+M minimizes all open windows. Agree, this is much faster and more convenient than minimizing all windows individually.

Now let's move directly to the topic of the article. Although these keyboard shortcuts are designed to make life easier for the user, in some cases it may be necessary to disable them. How to disable Windows hotkeys? Let's look at a few options.

Using gpedit.msc

1.Open the menu Start.

2. Select an item Execute.

gpedit.msc and press Enter.

If you have Windows 7 Home Premium, Home Basic or Starter, then use the instructions to run gpedit.msc.

4. In the window that opens , on the left in the menu tree select items User Configuration - Administrative Templates - ComponentsWindows - ExplorerWindows

5. In the list of parameters on the right we find the line Disable keyboard shortcutsWindows+X and click on it 2 times.

6. A window will appear in which you need to select the item Turn on and press OK.

7. Close the window Local Group Policy Editor and restart the computer.

As a result of performing the above steps, all hotkeys using the key will be disabled Windows.

Using Registry Editor

Attention! Using Registry Editor incorrectly can damage your computer's operating system. Therefore, follow the steps described below very carefully. It would be a good idea to create a system restore point.

1.Open the menu Start.

2. Select an item Execute.

3. In the window that appears, enter regedit and press Enter.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies

If at point Policies there is a section Explorer, then go to point 7.

Policies Create, then Chapter.

6. Rename the newly created section to Explorer.

7. Right-click on the section Explorer and in the context menu select the item Create, then ParameterDWORD (32 bits).

8. Assign a name to the created parameter NoWinKeys.

9. Right-click on the parameter NoWinKeys and select the item Change.

10. Enter the value 1 and press OK.

11. Close the registry editor window and restart the computer.

As with the first option, in this case all hotkeys using the key will also be disabled Windows.

Disabling individual hotkeys

Both options described above disable all hotkeys. But how can you disable individual hotkeys? To do this you need to do the following:

1.Open the menu Start.

2. Select an item Execute.

3. In the window that appears, enter regedit and press Enter.

4. The Registry Editor will open, in which you need to go to the following section:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced

5. Right-click on the section Advanced and in the context menu select the item Create, then Expandable string parameter.

6. Assign a name to the created parameter DisabledHotKeys.

7. Right-click on the parameter DisabledHotKeys and select the item Change.

8. Next, you need to enter the characters used in the Windows hotkey combinations that you want to disable. For example, if you want to prohibit combinations Windows+R And Windows+E, then you need to assign a value to the string parameter RE.

Now consider an example in which you need to prohibit a combination with a key that is not associated with any letter of the Latin alphabet or number. In this case, you need to use virtual key codes and a table of ASCII character codes.

Here we will not discuss what virtual key codes are and provide a table of ASCII codes, because There is enough information on the Internet on these issues. Let's consider just one option using the example of a hotkey combination Windows+Home.

And so, the key Home corresponds to the virtual key code 24 . But to us in the string parameter DisabledHotKeys you need to enter a character. Therefore, using the table of ASCII character codes, we find which character the number 24 corresponds to. In our case, this is the character $ .

Now if we want to block hotkey combinations Windows+R, Windows+E And Windows+Home, needed in a string parameter DisabledHotKeys enter value RE$.

9. Close the registry editor window and restart the computer.

That's all. Now you know how to disable Windows hotkeys in three different ways.

Greetings, dear readers of the blog site! I won’t be mistaken if I say that many ordinary users, when sitting at a computer, never use Hotkeys. Most people control their computer by manipulating the mouse. Even many of my friends, to whom I showed some key combinations for speed and convenience of working at the computer, did not immediately understand the point of using them.

The force of habit does not allow many to give up what they are used to. This is how man is made. But, having tried several times to perform this or that operation on the computer using keyboard shortcuts, after a while many begin to use them automatically. I hope that the recommendations listed below for using the keys on the keyboard will be useful to someone and will make it easier to stay at the computer.

Keyboard shortcut.

Hotkeys allow users to optimize their work on the computer and not interrupt the creative process with any nonsense. Using standard keyboard shortcuts, you can quickly execute the necessary commands (undo an action, copy and paste text, take a screenshot, switch the language and even turn off the computer) without being distracted or even looking at the keyboard. By the way, Windows hotkeys operate in almost all applications of this operating system. It doesn't matter whether you're running Windows 7 or Windows XP. Let me give you a simple example of how the undo hotkeys “Ctrl” + “Z” work. To undo the last action, press the left “Ctrl” key and, while holding it, press the English “Z” key. If you want to undo multiple actions, press the "Z" key several times. Moreover, it doesn’t matter what language you have enabled. More often keyboard shortcuts work the same in Russian and English layouts.

Keyboard keys for searching.

It is very convenient to use the search keys “Ctrl” + “F”. They allow you to quickly find a phrase in a document, and work with text is greatly simplified. By the way, search keys can also be used on website pages. When you press "Ctrl" + "F", a small box will appear in the top right in Google Chrome (top left in Opera, bottom in Mazilla) where you can enter the word or phrase you want to search for on the page. If such a word is on the page, it will be highlighted in yellow or orange in your browser. The same line will contain the number of words found on the page, as well as arrows that allow you to quickly move to the next option. Just don't get confused hotkeys search with site search. They only work on the page that is open in your browser.

How to select text using the keyboard.

Hotkey combinations are also used to highlight text. For example, if the text document is very large and you need to select it completely, use mouse cursor not very convenient. It's much easier to press "Ctrl" + "A" and all the text will be selected. To select a piece of text from the cursor to the left or right, press the Shift key and, while holding it, press the ← and → arrows. Each time you press the arrow, the next letter will be highlighted. True, it takes a long time to highlight text this way, but it can be useful. And to select text from the cursor to the beginning or to the end of the line, you can use the combinations “Shift” + “Home” and “Shift” + “End”. In the same way, you can select text from the cursor in entire lines, up or down. To do this, you need to place the cursor in the desired place, press the “Shift” key and, while holding it, use the arrows “” and “↓”. By the way, pressing the opposite arrow removes the selection. To remove a selection, you can click anywhere in the open document. In some applications, you can deselect using the “Ctrl” + “D” keys, but they do not work everywhere. For example, the virtual keyboard does not respond to this particular combination.

How to copy text using the keyboard.

Many are also interested in what keys to use to copy in different applications. To do this, use the combination “Ctrl” + “C”. The keys work the same way in text documents, in graphic editors and in other programs. It is enough to select the desired fragment with the cursor and copy it using the keys. Moreover, these same keyboard keys are used to copy some files. But there is one caveat. If you want to copy text published on a website, you may not be able to. This is the text copy protection that was installed by the resource owner. About, how to copy uncopiable text from such sites, described in more detail in another material.

How to insert text using the keyboard.

To paste text from the clipboard, you can press the hotkeys “Ctrl” + “V”. They also work in different applications. you can use hotkeys paste in text documents or when copying a file. It is especially convenient to use them to insert a large number of identical objects (for example, symbols that you want to use in a document many times).

How to switch the keyboard to English.

We switch the keyboard from Russian to English and vice versa a hundred times a day, without even noticing it. Most often we use for this language switch RU/EN, which is located at the bottom of the screen, on the right, on the taskbar. But it is much more convenient to do this using the keyboard shortcut “Alt” + “Shift”. Over time, you begin to use these keys automatically. You just keep typing on the keyboard and don't think about how to switch to English and back.

How to restart your computer using the keyboard.

There is one more key combination you need to know. If the computer freezes and does not respond to your actions, press the “Ctrl” + “Alt” + “Del” keys simultaneously. A Task Manager window will open, listing all the applications you have running. When you see the “Not working” status opposite any of them, click on the “Cancel task” button.

If the mouse does not work, use the Tab key to select. When the End Task button is highlighted, press Enter. You also need to know what keys You can log out if your mouse is broken. So, to reboot quickly or at all turn off computer, press the Windows key. It is located at the bottom, on both sides of the keyboard, and displays the logo of this operating system. When the main menu window appears, press the "↓" key until the "Shutdown" button is highlighted. Press “Enter”, the standard “Turn off computer” window will appear. Using the “←” and “→” keys, select the “Shutdown” or “Reboot” command and press “Enter”. To cancel this action and return to the system, press "Esc".

Of course, there are other options for keyboard shortcuts to perform various operations on your computer. But in this post I shared the most common ones, which I use all the time myself and recommend to you, my readers. I wish everyone good luck!!
