Area Man Knows All The Shortcut Keys

Media_httpkarawheeler_ihrvh

Catalog copywriter Roger Turlock knows all the keyboard combinations that execute a computer's common commands. "You can just hit Command-P to print, you know," Turlock, 38, told a coworker who had just gone through the labor-intensive process of printing via the word-processing application's pull-down File menu.

Turlock not only knows the shortcut keys for the programs he uses at work, but also for programs on his home computer. "Lot faster. Just Command at the same time as the letter P. Command-Q to quit a program," Turlock said. "Command-X for cut. Command-C for copy. Command-V for paste. It takes one second to learn a combo," Turlock said.

Turlock insisted that his knowledge of all the shortcut keys, though an anomaly among his peers, is no special gift. "It takes one second to learn a combo, then you have it," Turlock said. "People use these commands every day, and for some reason they never learn the shortcut. Amazing. It's so simple. Open Apple-S. Save. There you go. Done and done."
