Introduction to Keyboard & Mouse Skills
Introduction to Keyboard & Mouse Skills PART I: Mouse The mouse is used to interface with your computer. If you’re right- handed, rest your right hand comfortably over the mouse and your index finger will be on the left-click button, your middle finger will be on the wheel, and your ring finger will be on the right-click button. Some left-handed people find it more comfortable to move the mouse to the left of the keyboard and adjust their fingers accordingly. Here are the ways you can use your mouse: Navigate on your screen o Move the mouse and the pointer on your screen moves in tandem with your motion. This allows you to find and select items intuitively o Wheel: spin the wheel up or down to go up or down the ‘page’ of your screen (great for use on the Internet) Select or launch something on your screen (left-click) o Left-click is the most common mouse action. If someone says to click on something, they mean left-click o Left-click on an icon to select it o Double-click means click twice very rapidly on the left side: . For something on your desktop or in file explorer, a single left-click will select the item. This allows you to move, delete, or otherwise arrange the item . To launch an item that can be moved around in this way, you need to double- click . Note that if you’re in an application in which you cannot move around the items (on the Internet, for example), then a single left-click will launch what your pointer is resting on Get a contextual menu (right click) o Right-clicking on an item gives you a short-cut menu, that is specific to what your pointer was resting on.

Assignment 4 Resources for POWER KEYS.Pdf
Resource Page for Assignment #4 in Computer Literacy – Dr. Phoenix – 109 – 4-11-20 POWER KEYS We have studied “power-keys” in class. They are also known as short-cuts, or keyboard short- cuts. They let users to execute complicated actions with simple commands using the keyboard. Shortcut keys make for an easier and faster way of getting around a program (navigating) and executing commands in computer software (getting the computer software to do things!) Shortcut keys are most often use the Alt key (on Dell compatible computers), Command key (on Apple computers), Ctrl key, or Shift key along with another key. The standard for noting a shortcut is using the modifier key, a plus symbol, and another key. For example: “Ctrl+O” means to press and hold down the Ctrl key, and then press the O key too. Because Power Keys save so much time, it is useful to memorize them. The more you use them, the more you will begin to see that they will work in many programs. If you look at the icons in the Microsoft “Ribbon” at the top of your page, and hover your mouse pointer over an icon, often times the program will name the icon and provide the control key and letter combination. For instance, on the “HOME” tab in Microsoft Word, if you hover your mouse pointer over the underlined U on the left side of the ribbon, a little message box will pop-up with the following message: “Underline (Ctrl+U) Underline your text.” When using Power keys, just remember that sometimes you have to SELECT SOMETHING before the Power Key will do what you want it to do.
