what are some things you do to make stuff easier?
like, I wanted to delete a list of songs just now, so I held shift, clicked the first item, and by clicking the last thing, all the things in between were selected and deleted
kinda...dumb whatever, but I want to know more of that stuff
another list skill lol~ hold control to select individual things

When I realize that I want to look at that tab I just closed in Chrome: Ctrl + Shift + "T"
Or holding Control and rolling the mouse wheel to zoom. That's one that works in almost every program that I'm surprised a lot of people don't use.

In Windows, Win + left or right arrow button is good for docking the window to one half of the screen. Up maximizes and down minimizes. In Ubuntu it's ctrl+Win+arrow. Some other Windows button shortcuts work in ubuntu by adding ctrl (d for desktop works this way I think). Ctrl-alt-arrow button rotates the screen in windows, up for normal orientation. Good to know if you trigger it accidentally and need to fix. Ctrl-alt-t opens a terminal in ubuntu.
