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.

StrokeIt & Hott Notes 4 – making notes efficiently

admin — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 16:26:30 +0000

StrokeIt recognises mouse gestures (Caracters drawn on a screen with your mouse). This can increase efficiency dramatically. I begun looking for someting like it after realising that I needed a quicker way to start a note taking application.

Previously I was heavily using Notepad, but

openning notepad takes time (going through menus)
having lots of open notepads looks ugly

So No.1 was solved by installing and configuring StrokeIt. No.2 was solved by installing a very nice freeware notes taking tool – Hott Notes 4. Now when I Right Click and drag mouse to the left a Hott Notes pops up and lets me add notes. This is much more efficient and definitely nicer then what it used to be before.
