Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V

I was talking a Malcolm X College staff member through some troubleshooting techniques for a particular web application we built for her department. During the conversation I asked her to Ctrl+C (copy) some information and Ctrl+V (paste) it into an email to me.

She was stunned. She had never used those (or any other) keyboard shortcuts before and asked me for a list of all the Windows keyboard shortcuts. So, here they are.

I can't remember a time when I didn't Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V everything. That's like pondering life before cellphones. Or texting. What a sad life I must have had.

ALT+F4 (quit program)
