hihi Ctrl C and V I know them and have used them too. Furthermore, I never delved into it. Helpful list!!
I'm definitely going to keep track of that one.
Super explanation! Very handy. Thanks.
Bedankt, ik gebruik sinds eind vorig jaar weer een Windows laptop, omdat ik op mijn Chromebook bepaalde programma's, zoals Paint Shop Pro, niet kon gebruiken en wist veel sneltoetsen niet meer.
