Mouse and Key Clicks

If you double click on a word in a document, online or in email, it highlights it so it can be deleted, copied or modified.
Triple-clicking a word will highlight the entire section or paragraph.
Same thing for double and triple clicking on the URL in our browser. It makes it easier to delete.

In many software programs you can use [CTRL] + [Z] to undo the last action. [CTRL] + [Y] will let you redo the action.
Want to drop down on a web page without having to scroll or use your mouse on the side bar? You can press the [Space Bar] to scroll down one screen. Add the [Shift] key to scroll back up to where you were on the page.
You don’t have to type “http://www” into your Web browser. You can just type "dailymouseclicks.com".
Want to copy and paste an entire document? Instead of highlighting from top to bottom, hit Control + A to select everything.
