[Help] Keyboard Shortcuts.

[Davey Gaga]

I was typing a post up earlier and, as my hand slipped at one point, I hit something along with the Shift key, I think it was ... and now all fonts on my internets are appearing at size one.

It actually looks quite snazzy and I might end up keeping it, but I was just wondering ... what in the name of Sephiroth have I pressed?

You pressed CTRL and -. That's for Firefox anyway, I don't know if the same is true for IE.
Press CTRL and + to undo it.

 

[Davey Gaga]

Ahhh, Pooley, you genius!
Actually, come to think of it .... what other keyboard shortcuts are available?

u fag that closed my brower and i lost all info on my other tabs

 

[AlchemistFox]

Alt + f4 = exit current window.
HOLD, ctrl. and scroll with the mouse wheel. = make letters bigger or smaller (altest in Firefox)
the windows button + "pause" = brings up some basic info about the PC.
the windoes button + D = show desktop ~ that minimizes all windows.
F3 = default 'search' button.
F1 = default 'help' button


there are LOADS more.

lolz, try CTRL + F4

 

[AlchemistFox]

that closes the current TAB in firefox.

alt + tab = cycles current open programs

Press Shift 5 times, and when the dialog pops up, press all the CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT keys randomly for a fun beeping melody

 

[AlchemistFox]

shift 5 times acctivates the possibillity of "sticky keys" where you dont have to HOLD shift OR ctrl OR alt.

it is so that you cna for example do the Ctrl + alt + del thing withouh holding down the buttons. its a sort of memory

 

[howlingape]

if you have an old motherboard, preferably the pre i686 stuff, press as many keys as you can and hear awesome beeps

 

[AlchemistFox]

heh.. those beeps dont stop for a while eighter..
if you go amock. the computer will do a beep for ALL the buttons pushed. NO matter how long it takes.
NOT reccomended. its rather annoying

 

[AlchemistFox]

heh... that sounds annoying ^^

 

[AlchemistFox]

hah... true.
but you can also. make a file. upon opened. it starts to make the beeping continually. untill reboot.
a friend of mine did that. it was annoying as HELL. ^^

 

[howlingape]

hahaah nice!

this one time, when i discovered the ascii code for the symbol that looked like a "block" char, i used QBASIC to get the printer to print off pages and pages filled with that char

good times
