Keyboard shortcut for renaming a file. Quickly rename files

In this lesson, you will find the main hot Windows keys 7, 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.

While working in Windows 7, we often have to perform entire sequences of actions to achieve one or another result. We perform some of these sequences every day and do not even suspect that they can be avoided at all if we use hot keys. In this article, I will talk about ten of the most useful hotkeys that will help you speed up access to familiar system elements, as well as make daily work with Windows 7 more comfortable.

1. Launch programs from the taskbar - Win+1,2,3,4…

Many users pin shortcuts to their most frequently used applications to the taskbar. But not many people know that you can launch programs from there directly from the keyboard. If you press the Win key and the serial number of the shortcut on the taskbar, you can launch this application.

2. Switch between programs on the taskbar - Win + T

Using the Win+T keyboard shortcut you can switch the taskbar cursor between applications. To select an application, just press the “Space” or “Enter” key.

3. Minimize all windows except the active one - Win+Home

Using this combination, you can minimize all windows open on the desktop, leaving only the active one. This often helps with work, as it eliminates the need to sequentially minimize all open windows.

4. Switch between programs - Alt+Esc

Using the Alt and Esc key combination you can easily switch between open applications. This combination is similar to Alt+Tab with the only difference being that it switches applications in the order in which they were opened. You can also use the Win+Tab combination to beautifully switch between applications.

5. System properties - Win+Pause/Break

If you need to quickly open system properties, then use this keyboard shortcut. No need to minimize all windows, open context menu My computer and look for the corresponding item there. Just press Win+Pause/Break and the system properties will appear in front of you.

6. Folder or file properties - Alt+Enter

Using this keyboard shortcut, you will open the properties of a file or folder selected in Explorer or on the Desktop, bypassing the context menu.

7. Context menu of a file or folder - Shift+F10

If you are a laptop user, then this keyboard shortcut will be especially useful for you. Select a file or folder in Explorer and press Shift+F10 to open the context menu (called by right-clicking the mouse) without using the mouse or touchpad.

8. Task Manager - Ctrl+Shift+Esc

When you need to force close a particular application, Ctrl+Shift+Esc will come in very handy. Click it to immediately open the Task Manager without wasting precious time on the Ctrl+Alt+Del sequence and selecting the appropriate tool from the menu.

9. Renaming a file or folder in Explorer - F2

Use the F2 button in Explorer to rename the selected file.

10. Go to search in Explorer - F3

Press F3 on the desktop and Explorer will open with an active search field.

I hope the following hotkeys are useful to you. If you use any other keyboard shortcuts in your work, tell us about them in the comments; other readers will probably be interested in learning about them.

Here's a selection Windows hotkeys. Working using hotkeys is sometimes much faster and more convenient than using a mouse. Hot keys (when you know them) also provide convenience compared to working with a mouse, just like ten-finger touch typing compared to regular typing.

Note: If you select a drive or folder in the directory tree on the left and click either > , or + (on the numeric keypad), the selected object will open. Minus or left arrow - closes. But the asterisk... You can hang the computer if there are a lot of folders, since pressing it opens all the folders in the selected folder, right down to the very depths. That is, the whole tree is in full view. This is a very useful key, as manually revealing everything can take a very long time.

Holding down the Control key while dragging will copy the file.
Holding down the Control and Shift keys while dragging will create a shortcut.
Holding Alt keys when double clicked it will call up the properties of the object
Holding down the Shift key while answering No to the overwrite confirmation request when copying files acts as No for All, i.e. For all such requests, the file overwrite will be canceled automatically. The fact is that there is a Yes for all button in that dialog, but there is no No for all button. Shift key allows us to eliminate this inconvenience in this case.
