Space Bar Shortcuts
Today’s tip is based on our need to put a lot of space in your noggin.
Techies that use their tech every day often assume that everyone knows of all the shortcuts available on their devices.
On occasion, someone that sees me doing something quick will remind me that shortcuts are not as commonly known as we assume.
Let's use the space bar for example. It does way more for you than just adding spaces between words as you are typing.
Checkout this tip for when you are browsing the Internet on a computer and you want to scroll the page down that doesn't require your mouse.
Simply tap the space bar and it will scroll your web page down exactly one screen. To scroll back up, you can hold the 'Shift' key and tap your space bar to scroll on screen up.
While typing on your mobile devices and you come to the end a sentence, try tapping your spacebar twice in a row to end with a period. It is much faster than searching around for the period key!
