Mine is using the arrow keys to navigate typed text while writing and editing. It helps speed things up, versus having to move your hand to the mouse to navigate.

Use the Up and Down Arrows to move/jump vertically.

Left and Right Arrows to move/jump horizontally.

Combine Left or Right Arrow with Shift to be able to select text. Use Up or Down Arrow with Shift to quickly select whole/nearly whole sections of text.

Combine Control with Left/Right Arrow to jump whole words to more quickly move to where you want to type.

    I’ve found the windows one sorely lacking. As I recall all windows of a specific program have to be on a single desktop. This causes issues if you are working on multiple word docs, browser windows, or even just want access to email in both desktops. AFAIK there isn’t a work around to this. Am I out of the loop on a nice windows feature?

      You can specify a window to show on all desktops (or all windows from the same app). Just right-click the window from the Task View screen (Win + tab)

      You must be out of the loop, I have different browser tabs and excel files up on different desktops right now.

      Sometimes if you need to start a new file it will swap you around, but you can always immediately move it wherever you want.
