Getting most out of Keyboard

In today’s digital age, where computers are an integral part of our lives, mastering efficient keyboard usage can greatly enhance productivity and streamline workflow.

While the mouse has long been the primary tool for navigating graphical user interfaces, exploring the full potential of keyboard shortcuts and commands can revolutionize the way we interact with our computers.

By relying more on the keyboard and less on the mouse, users can save time, reduce repetitive strain injuries, and boost overall efficiency.

I use a bunch of tools to make this possible but at the same time don’t want to overuse the tools available out there. Will be talking mostly about normal available tools inside your system to do the work. Apart from this I use a small tool called QuickTextPaste for Windows. You can download the same from here.

One of the mapper that I personally like is connecting Cisco VPN for office use, I don’t like using Cisco again and again and enter password.

Instead what I have done is mapped commands like cn (Connect to Cisco), dis(Disconnect) and status(Check the Status).

“C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\vpncli.exe” connect path.domain.com -s < “C:\Users\Shyam Suthar\Desktop\.login_info”

Contents of my cn.bat file. File named .login_info contains my credentials. Format of the same will be your username password(new line) and one extra empty line. So basically 3 lines.

And when I want to connect to Cisco, I just press Win+R and then type “cn”.
