I think that "Greppah" is the phonetic of Grepper and it sounds cooler that way. "Yo Man! You got dat Greppah program!?" It's cool.

BTW, what kind of files can it work on?
 
windows-key d = min. all windows
windows-key e = bring up windows explorer
alt-d = puts u in the address bar in ie and windows explorer
overlooked the most = f1!!!!!

If you do control & tab, it has the same effect as alt & d

What a goldmine this thread is... I've given stars out generously!

SHIFT F10
Same as mouse right click, or pressing key to the right of the right-hand side Windows key - is there a name for this key?

ALT F4
Close current window (Old faithful)

CTRL-ESC
Same as Windows key

CTRL-BACKSPACE
Delete word

Ah what the heck - there's so many shortcuts and already so many sites listing them that have been posted in this thread... but just had to participate in my own meagre way. :)
 
>>- is there a name for this key?

Pop-Up (or context) menu key

Don't forget, you can define shortcuts to little tools you often use too.

I have Ctrl-Shift-C set to bring up Calculator. Very handy for those base conversions and general arithmetic.

F5 for Hex, F6 for Decimal, copy/paste. It's a lot more useful than some folks think, especially if you keep Num Lock on.
 
CTRL-ENTER opens an Access object in design view (forms, tables, queries etc.).
I could have saved millions of keystrokes and mouse clicks over the years had I known this one! From Inside Microsoft Access Vol12 Number 4 April 2004 elementK journals. (Also CTRL /double-click for mousers)

OOPS...after posting the above, I realized this wasn't an Access forum. I'll repost over there. Mea culpa...NorthNone

NorthNone,
It may not be the Access forum, but I'm glad I saw that! Could've saved me a few millions clicks, too!
