Mouse is holding you back, to be the best you really need to know your way around on the keyboard. This page is off to rescue. If you know some useful keyboard shortcuts please add them here by logging in with your school user account and clicking edit on the top.

Notational differences

  • SUPER is a vendor-neutral way to refer to WINDOWS KEY or on Mac
  • M-R means ALT+R, because M refers to Meta key which is also known as ALT key
  • Meta-R means ALT+R
  • ^X means CTRL+X

Directional key ALTernative

If the directional ↑↓→← buttons do not work for whatever reason. Then you can, as an alternative, use the directional buttons on the Numpad section of your keyboard. To change between numerical and directional mode you have to press the (Numlock) button.
