One of my old college buddies puked all over his brand new dell laptop after 16 beers. We walked in the room and said..."Ryan, what the hell did you do???"

He lifts his head out of the fresh pile of puke and says...

"I hit the GO button"

hahahah

Doe anybody know where the "any" key is?

I keep getting the message "press any key to continue", but I can't find the damn thing.

They actually have those keys at Spencers.

I was going to get a pack, and place them into our keyboard, but they didn't have "Fuckit"

They had "Panic", "Any", and another one that I can't remember.

'Shift' x 5 to use 'StickyKeys'. I don't know how StickyKeys work and I don't really like what it implies, but it makes a cool sound when you do it.

Ctrl + X - Cut
Ctrl + C = Copy
Ctrl + V = Paste
(same on a Mac, except use the Apple/Command key instead of Control. Cut, Copy, and Paste are your best friends.)

Alt + Enter - Go to full screen mode in certain apps (Windows Media Player, DOS Box)
Alt + F4 = exit program/close window

Ctrl + T - New tab (in Firefox and other Mozilla-based things)
Ctrl + W - Close tab or window
Ctrl + N - New window

Macintosh:
Apple + Q - quit program
Apple + Option + Esc = Force Quit
and my favorite, the "Vulcan Mind Meld":
Apple + Option + P + R (hold while turning the machine on) - reset PRAM

X-Windows:
Ctrl + Alt + Backspace - Kill X-Windows session

In Pro-tools....

Ctrl + '=' Switches between Edit and Mix Windows

Ctrl E : Splits files

Ctrl [ or ] : Zooms in and out in Edit mode.

I don't know what I'd do without those.

Also...
Ctrl + z - undo
Ctrl + a - select all
Alt + tab - navigate open windows

MOONDOGGY: Sticky keys are designed for people who can't use both hands to type. It makes certain keys toggle so they don't have to be held down.
