Shortcuts

• Ctrl + Alt + (+) – Assign short cut to any button in the interface. Allows you to very easily build a macro and assign it a shortcut.
• Shift + Alt + End – Select current table cell.
• Shift + Alt + Home – Select all table cells starting from the current cell all the way up to the first one.
• Shift + Alt + UP/DOWN – Move current table row up or down respectively.
• Ctrl + Shift + Home/End – Select all table rows from the current row up to the first or last table row respectively.
• Ctrl + Space – Remove formatting. You must know how annoying it is to paste content copied from a website and it comes with its own styling and formatting. This shortcut will remove any web content formatting including links
• Ctrl + Alt + V – Paste special. Allows you to remove formatting too. It is very powerful but is a bit less efficient as it requires several mouse clicks to choose what formatting is required.

There is a way of pasting content copied from any with formatting removed. See this helpful article
and this one is even better.

I have found a few interesting apps in this list. I particularly liked Launchy and Treecopy.
