This article is to share with you about the usefulness of using the shift key in a microcomputer keyboard. The editor thinks it is very practical, so share it with you as a reference and follow the editor to have a look.

In the keyboard used by the microcomputer, the shift key is called the "control key"; the shift key has the functions of switching input method, quickly switching half-width and full-width, selecting continuous files, deleting files directly and so on. If you press and hold the shift key while booting into Windows until the boot is over, then the function in the startup item will be disabled.

In the keyboard used by a microcomputer, the shift key is called the "control key".

Correlation

Shift key is an upstream conversion key in the keyboard, which can also be used for conversion between Chinese and English, with a shift key left and right. The shift key has the functions of switching input method, quickly switching half-width and full-width, selecting continuous files, deleting files directly and so on.

Features:

Of course, the shift key is more than just these functions. Here are the other ten functions of the Shift key for reference:

1. Cancel boot self-boot

When booting into Windows, hold down the shift key until the boot is over, then the functions in the startup item will be invalidated. For example, this feature is very useful if you don't want your computer to start some programs on its own so as not to take up too many resources, or if someone installs a malicious program in your startup item.

2. Close the multi-level folder window

When we open a folder, we sometimes hold down the Ctrl key and click the folder, that is, we open the folder as a separate window. This will bring a lot of convenience to our work. Do we have to close these folders one by one? Of course not, we can hold down the shift key and click the close button so that all folder windows of this folder window and its superiors are closed.

3. Easy entry into ZIP

In general, when we drag a file (optional) over a ZIP file in Explorer, the mouse displays the "+" status. At this point, if you release the mouse, the "add File" dialog box pops up and the "Move Files" command is selected to finish adding the file. If we hold down the "Shift" key at the same time, the file will be added directly without popping up the dialog box.

4. Alternative text editing methods.

Everyone knows that the Del key is the character after the cursor is deleted, but holding down the shift key + Del key at the same time removes the character before the cursor. Pressing shift + Del for the selected text is equivalent to cutting. Shift key + insert key is equivalent to paste.

Note: it is only applicable to notepad and other software.

5. Disable automatic playback of CD-ROM drive

Place the CD in the optical drive and hold down the shift key until the optical drive light is off.

6. Input method switching

Hold down the Ctrl key and press the shift key at the same time, you can make the input method cycle, the user can switch to the desired input method.

7. Quickly switch between half-width and full-width

Shift+Space (space) can quickly switch between half-width and full-width in Chinese input state.

8. Select consecutive files

Select the first file first, hold down the shift key and then select another file, and all files between the diagonals of the two files will be selected.

9. Permanently delete files

Hold down the shift key while pressing Delete to delete the file directly without going through the Recycle Bin.

10. Change the associated program of the file

For an unrelated file, we can reselect its associated program by holding down the shift key, then right-clicking the file, and selecting "Open with" from the menu.

11. Directly move program files

When we drag and drop program files ending with ".exe" in Explorer to other folders, you will find that the files are not removed, but just create a shortcut in the target folder. So, what if you really want to move program files? Don't worry, as long as you hold down the "Shift" key and then drag and drop, the file will obediently transfer the "camp" according to your request.

12. Open the file with other programs

On Windows systems, as long as you double-click the file name, the file will be opened with the system default program. For example, all audio files installed with Winamp, even CD, are played in Winamp. But in fact, the CD player that comes with Windows has better sound quality and takes up much less system resources. So when we want to change the open mode, just press the "Shift" key, and then right-click on the file name, there will be an "open file" command in the pop-up menu, after executing this command, you can choose the application you want to use to open the file.
