How to Get that Little ¿
By DeShea Stone
Sometimes, in the computer world things go wrong. You spill coffee on the keyboard and certain keys don’t work anymore. You play too many computer games and a key starts to stick or it pops right off. Sometimes the batteries die in your cordless mouse and you’re too lazy to go in the other room and get more. When you’re writing articles for the Voice and you need those special accents, but can’t be bothered to look in the symbol menu so you just ‘forget about it’, keep this issue handy.
Keystrokes are short cuts to mouse-ing world. Instead of browsing through menus upon menus to find one little ‘dot’, you can use ALT or CTRL to type them. Since this is the Alternative Issue, here’s a list of the shortcuts using the ALT key. Most Windows applications accept these keystrokes. MACs have their own version. You can do a search for “keystrokes” to find the options for other shortcuts for both Windows and MACs.
Alt+Ctrl+Shift+DOWN ARROW Move to bottom of column
Alt+Ctrl+Shift+UP ARROW Move to top of column
Alt+Ctrl+Shift+RIGHT ARROW Move to end of row
Alt+Ctrl+Shift+LEFT ARROW Move to start of row
Web Page Commands
Alt+LEFT ARROW or BackSpace Back a page
Alt+RIGHT ARROW Forward a page
Alt+D Move to the address bar
Windows
Alt+Tab Switch between open applications
Alt+F4 Quit the active application
Alt+Ctrl+Delete Reboot/brings up Task Manager
To use the following strokes, make sure the Num Lock is on. The symbol will show up after you release the Alt key.
