Shortcut to select it all.
Have you ever wanted to highlight a complete document or page all at once, instead of dragging your mouse all the way from the bottom to the top of the page just so you can copy and paste it somewhere else? If it's two pages or more, it can become redundant to use your mouse for all of the text. Even then, sometimes your finger slips off the mouse and you have to start all over again anyway.
There are two ways you can do this.
1) The first is going to the Edit menu in whatever program you're working in (a Web page, MS Word, etc.) and choosing Select All. That will highlight the complete page of text, pictures, etc. Then you can just copy and paste the material wherever you want it. The job will be done much faster than using your mouse!
2) The next and easiest to select just the text or a list of files in explorer is to select it all is by using Ctrl + A. That keyboard shortcut will do the exact same thing. Just click once on the page you want to copy, press Ctrl and A at the same time and poof, it's done.
Go to your destination and right click and click on paste or click on edit / paste.
