Keyboard Commands

Because I am an awesome daughter on a constant crusade to bring her family into the 21st century, I am always looking for ways to help expose them technology without blinding them with shininess of all the technological prettiness.

Tonight, as I was watching my step dad work with photos, I realized that my parents were unaware of keybpard commands. He had even printed out a whole list of keyboard shortcuts, but the list was 12 pages long. By the time he looked through the list to find the shortcut command, he could have done it with a mouse five times over. So I decided to help them out, and made a short list of common keyboard commands and attached it to their monitor.

I should an award for this. I even drew a picture of the F3 key. Maybe the Awesomest Pink-Haired Nerdy Daughter of the Year award/Nobel Peace Prize in Technology? It totally exists. In my head.

I was in a bit of a rush making this, so it's not too pretty. Hopefully it won't stay too long; it's only 6 little commands. Honestly, how long can it take to learn? My dead beat druggie cat could learn it, if she wasn't so busy getting high on cat nip and sleeping on her favorite rug. (She's like The Dude, but furrier and less inclined to go bowling. I wonder if she would like White Russians.)

 My step dad seemed quite happy with the new tricks, and I know they will come in handy while he's working with photos.
