Keyboard shortcuts for Windows

Daca esti mai tot timpul in fata calculatorului, cu siguranta ca folosesti o gramada de combinatii de taste pentru mai toate programele sub windows. unele sunt atat de folosite, incat nu-ti mai aduci aminte cand ai dat ultima data clic dreapta si copy. (poate cand vorbeai la telefon cu o mana ). M-am hotarat sa public o lista cu majoritatea combinatiilor de taste - shortcut pentru windows pentru a fi mai usor de gasit pentru restul celor, care ca mine, la un momentdat, au cautat un shortcut (eu am cautat pe cel de schimbare limbi) si nu l-au gasit.

sper sa fie utile. (am ales sa le public in engleza, pentru ca majoritatea utilizatorilor de windows sunt mai familiari cu denumirile lor in aceasta limba fata de romana.)
