Most of you probably already know about the Home/End/Page Up/Page Down keys located either to the right of your Backspace key or on your number pad (on standard keyboards), but you may not take advantage of them. These keys really do come in handy and can save you some keystrokes or mouse clicks once you get used to using them.

Just in case, here is what each of them does (by default):

• Home: When editing text, it takes you to the beginning of the line where your cursor is located, when viewing, it takes you to the very top of the page.
• End: When editing text, it takes you to the end of the line where your cursor is located, when viewing, it takes you to the very bottom of the page.
• Page Up: Scrolls the page up one screen, equivalent to doing a “jump” in your vertical scroll bar.
• Page Down: Scrolls the page up down screen, equivalent to doing a “jump” in your vertical scroll bar.

The “viewing” portion refers to web pages, Explorer windows, etc. where an input box does not currently have the focus.

If you don’t already take advantage of these keys, give them a try as they can really help save you a bit of time.
