Did you know you can undo almost any action?
Ctrl + Z is the ultimate hot key, and for sure you knew about it already, however note that undo doesn't just apply to typing.
If you accidentally delete or move a file, you can hit Ctrl + Z to bring it right back to where it was (Ctrl + Y will redo whatever you undid).
Have you ever accidentally closed a tab?
Simply press Ctrl + Shift + T to reopen the most recently closed tab and get back to what you were doing.
Use Cmd + Shift + T on Macs.
Have you ever been in contact with tech support or IT and they asked about your system information?
Just press Windows + Pause/Break and the System Information panel will be ready to go.
This might be the only use for the Pause/Break key you will ever find, so enjoy it!
