make me look like a pro# With $ust a fe! key strokes I can leave a mouser spinnin" his
!heel% Whatever your motivation here&s a bi" list of keyboard shortcuts'

This little trick !orks on more than $ust folders# If you use the ,ome key in a !ord
processor it "oes to the be"innin" of the line you&re currently !orkin" on# If you hit the
