Very impressed with my trainer’s ability to provide thorough explanations and demonstrations. I have confidence now in knowing how to manage my photos, videos, and documents. I received my money’s worth of valuable instruction.
Looking for those Essential Computer Keyboard Shortcuts! By pressing certain key combinations, you can do things that normally need a mouse, track pad, or other input device. GroovyTek is dedicated to making things easier for you by providing our list of "Useful Computer Keyboard Shortcuts Everyone Should Know!"
On a PC: press "Ctrl" and "C"
On a Mac: press "Command" and "C"
If you want to copy text to use it again somewhere else, use your mouse or touchpad to highlight the text that you want to copy, then use the key presses noted above. These temporarily save the text you’ve copied. You place what you copied somewhere else in the same document, or in a different document, using Paste, below.
*NOTE
Your computer only keeps one copied or cut item at a time. If you copy or cut an item and want to use it somewhere else, you need to relocate it by pasting it before you copy or cut another item.
On a PC: press “Ctrl” and “X”
On a Mac: press “Command” and “X”
If you want to remove a portion of text or move it to another location, use your mouse or touchpad to highlight the text you want to cut, then use the key presses noted above. These remove the text you highlighted. If you want to insert the text somewhere else in the same document, or insert it in a different document, use Paste, below.
On a PC: press “Ctrl” and “V”
On a Mac: press “Command” and “V”
Whatever you copied or cut can be “pasted” in a new location by using these key presses. To do so, place your cursor wherever you want the text you copied or cut to be located, left-click the spot, and then use the key presses noted above. Again, you can paste anywhere in the original document or in a different document.
On a PC: press “Ctrl” and “S”
On a Mac: press “Command” and “S”
When you are working on a document or project, it’s really helpful to save it as often as possible. It’s always frustrating to lose hard work, so make a habit of saving your document often by using this keyboard shortcut.
On a PC: press “Ctrl” and “A”
On a Mac: press “Command” and “A”
If you want to select all of the content in a document, these key presses automatically highlight everything for you. Once highlighted, you’re ready to copy, cut, or delete that content.
On a PC: press “Ctrl” and “Z”
On a Mac: press “Command” and “Z”
This shortcut is very helpful if you accidently make a mistake on your keyboard, such as deleting something you didn’t want to delete. Use Undo immediately and your mistake will be automatically undone.
On a PC: press “Ctrl” and “F”
On a Mac: press “Command” and “F”
If you want to find specific words or phrases in a document, you can use the keys noted above to open the search area. Just type the word or phrase you want to searc. The word or phrase will be highlighted in the document so it’s easy for you to find and even to replace.
On a PC: press “Ctrl” and “Tab”
On a Mac: press “Command” and “Tab”
Sometimes you’d like to work using more than one program at-a-time. For example, you might want to do work on email messages and write a document at the same time. The key presses above allow you to keep different programs open and easily switch from one to another.
On a PC: click the right button of your mouse
On a Mac: press “Crtl” and click the mouse
The “right click” provides extra options in context with what you’re doing at the time. For PCs, this isn’t a keyboard shortcut (because you just use the right button on your mouse), but for those with a Mac that have a single-button mouse, this is the way.
On a PC: press “Ctrl” and “P”
On a Mac: press “Command” and “P”
There are usually a variety of ways to print a document, but none is more convenient or quicker than this simple set of key presses.
On a PC: press “Ctrl”, “Alt,” and “Delete” at the same time to open the Task Manager.Click on the program you’d like to close and select “End task”
On a Mac: press “Command,” “Option,” and “Escape” at the same time
For reasons we usually can’t figure out, the program we’re working in locks up and simply does not respond to any of our attempts for it to do something—anything. There is little we can do but to shut it down and start over; that is, to force it to quit.

I think your service is great! I have used it, and I booked 2 sessions for my 83-year old husband who bought himself a new Ipad, but didn't know how to use it. He's been ill, so it was a great help that you came to the house. Thanks for the service.
Very pleased with the experience. Knowledgeable trainer who was most helpful. Highly recommend the service.
Excellent help from our GroovyTek trainer. He spent an hour explaining issues that I was confronted with, on my computer, and corrected all my issues and problems. He was concise, knowledgeable and forthright and I will call on him and GroovyTek again whenever I need help and support. I highly recommend GroovyTek services!
Spectacular people. Knowledgeable, professional, customer focused and easy to work with. I have used their services a couple of times (because I am over 40) and they are great to work with.
I was so pleased to find GroovyTek. Although I am pretty tech savvy in some areas there are others where I need help. GroovyTek has helped me fill in that gap of information. I made an appointment to help me sync my devices and also help me learn how to organize my photos. The trainer was knowledgeable and able to explain things very clearly.
It is comforting to know if you have technical problems there is a Hands On source to get help. These trainers listen to your problems, find solutions and work with you until you understand the solution, their patience is outstanding. This is a great way to not only solve problems but to learn about the ever-changing world of technology; there are class presentations, small group gatherings or one-on-one in your home with kind, friendly, people.
The trainers are so friendly, and helpful. They certainly have lots of patience and knowledge. They make you feel so comfortable asking questions you would not dare ask your family to show you again how to do. They are always welcome in my home, sometimes I hate to see them go!
I have had two great sessions with GroovyTek and finally I have learned to use my smartphone calendar! I'm looking forward to my next session.
I was just delighted and on my way to practice new found skills. My trainer was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient with this little old lady (age 78). I didn't have to take notes to remember - he recorded it on his tablet and sent me a copy to download so I have my instructions, step by step. So pleased with the service and the follow-up.
GroovyTek has helped me, a 65 year old, learn how to do all sorts of things on my computer that I did not know about before. I had no one else to ask, and they have rescued me. It's so great to have a polite, friendly, knowledgeable person come to my house and teach me. What a wonderful service!
My tech from GoovyTek has been terrific. He is patient, knowledgeable, and explains things really well. I enjoyed learning new tools and features on my smart phone and computer. They have made doing things a lot easier and more enjoyable.
A wonderful service in every aspect from calling in to set up an appointment with GroovyTek and follow ups as well as the fabulous help, patience and expertise of the tech who came to the house to work with me with my computer issues. I would highly recommend GrooveyTek for all your computer needs! Thanks so much!
We have had several help sessions with a GroovyTek trainer. WE could not be more pleased. My trainer takes all our questions and while answering types up his answers so even after he leaves, we can refer to his notes. I would recommend GroovyTek to any of my friends or family without hesitation. BTW, ALL the employees at this firm are extrememly knowledgeable and friendly.
My tech is patiently bringing me (at age 79) into the computer age. I am so glad that I found him through GroovyTek. What a wonderful gift!
