Keyboard Shortcuts for Navigating the Drawing Window, Part 2

Quick reference

• 00:04 Now another great keyboard shortcut is if I want to see the full
• 00:09 screen mode of this diagram, then press F5.
• 00:13 The function key f5 on your keyboard.
• 00:15 That is what I produce in the full screen mode.
• 00:19 To leave that we're going to press the Escape key, okay?
• 00:23 And now you're back to regular screen mode.
• 00:25 So if I pick on F5 then it goes into full screen mode and
• 00:29 if I press the Escape key, then it goes back.
• 00:34 Now another one that's going to be really helpful for you is zooming in.
• 00:38 In this case, I'm going to press Alt+F6,
• 00:43 Alt and the f6 key, see how it's zooming in.
• 00:46 And then if we do Alt+Shift+F6 it'll zoom out.
• 00:53 So I'm holding down Alt and I'll do F6, that zooms in.
• 00:58 I'm going to hold down Alt again, Alt+Shift+F6 will zoom out.
• 01:04 So those are going to be really helpful for you.
• 01:06 If you hit the F3 key, the F3 key is going to open up this Format menu
• 01:12 on the right hand side, from which you can go a lot further with a shape.
• 01:17 So for example, I'm going to close that window with the X.
• 01:21 But if I click a shape, there's going to be many ways to format that shape and
• 01:25 we'll have other lessons about that.
• 01:28 But in this case, if I press F3, then you can see how that brings up the Format
• 01:32 menu on the right from which we can go a lot further with that shape, okay?
• 01:36 So that's going to be important for us.
• 01:38 I'm going to close that window.
• 01:41 I wanted to show you the access keys.
• 01:43 The access keys gives you many, many more keyboard shortcuts.
• 01:47 What you want to do is just press the Alt key but
• 01:50 don't hold it down, press the Alt key on the bottom right of your keyboard.
• 01:54 Now notice what occurs.
• 01:57 Each menu now has a letter or a number assigned to it.
• 02:01 Even the ones in the keyboard on the Quick Access Toolbar have a number
• 02:04 assigned to this.
• 02:05 So for example, if I want to go to the Insert menu,
• 02:08 notice how it has the letter N below the word Insert.
• 02:12 So I'll press the letter N on my keyboard.
• 02:15 And now we're in the Insert menu and each one of those has a letter or
• 02:19 a number assigned to it as well.
• 02:21 Now you see the ones with the two letters, or the two numbers you don't do this at
• 02:25 the exact same second, you do one after the other.
• 02:28 So those are called access keys.
• 02:30 When I'm done with that,
• 02:31 I'll press the Escape key a couple times and put that away.
• 02:34 So I'm going to press the Alt key, but you don't have to hold it down,
• 02:39 just press it one time.
• 02:40 And then each menu now has a letter or a number assigned to it.
• 02:44 So for example, if I want to go to the Home menu right now I press on H.
• 02:49 And now I'm on the Home menu, and you have each of those choices has a letter or
• 02:53 a number assigned to it as well.
• 02:55 Now what the ones with the two letters,
• 02:57 you don't do this at the exact same second.
• 02:59 It is one after the other and then when you're done with those,
• 03:02 you press the Escape key.
• 03:04 So if you look at the quick access card, that comes with this module,
• 03:08 you'll see the keyboard shortcuts.
• 03:10 So those are the ones that we talked about.
• 03:13 And then here's the ones where you move your mouse on an icon and
• 03:17 if it has a keyboard shortcut, it'll tell you that time, within the description.
• 03:22 Here it's talking about pressing the Alt key,
• 03:26 like we just did, and that gives you the access keys.
• 03:30 And then for a complete list of keyboard shortcuts, you can go to this website.
• 03:34 So on the quick reference card, you'll be able to go to that website.
• 03:39 There should be a clickable link otherwise, you could just copy and
• 03:43 paste that onto your browser.
• 03:44 So for example, if I move my mouse there, I'm going to do Ctrl+Click, and that
• 03:49 should bring me to the Microsoft website, which gives a lot of keyboard shortcuts.
• 03:55 So I hope that you found that module helpful,
• 03:59 where I showed a lot of keyboard shortcuts for Visio
