Ctrl-Backspace deletes the last word when you're typing (WinXP)?

You learn something new every day.

Yep, and control+shift+arrowkeys will highlight word-by-word instead of letter/space-by-letter.

I knew about the highlighting, but not the Ctrl-Backspace. Guess I just gotta screw around more ... long as I stay away from that Ctrl-F13 bit :Q

yep, works here too... windows 2000.

I doubt I'll ever use it though, I usually use shift + end/home + backspace when I want to delete fast

 

[PCMarine]

Wow, nifty

Control-enter will add the http://www. .com to whatever word you type in IE's address bar.

<-- uses control-backspace everyday.

 

[wfbberzerker]

while we're sharing windows tips... did you know alt+esc will switch windows without the alt+tab window popping up?

 

[kranky]

OK, here's my #1 Windows secret - you can use CTRL-C to copy highlighted text from a Properties box. Handy when you want to cut/paste just part of a hyperlink.
