This is based on the fact that I often want to edit sentences (read: delete them) right after I type them, thus I am at the end of my entered text. I don't think your shortcut works in this case. |
|
|
In that case, you'll want to go up and right instead of left. |
|
|
OK, I think I better understand your suggestion now, I use it often. However, it can only cut down so much on key strokes, as I'm sure you know. |
|
|
Why not just highlight the sentence with your mouse? |
|

[Kenry52]: Highlighting things with a mouse - using mice in general - requires a lot of hand/eye coordination and puts strain on your eyes and your shoulder; it also requires you to move your arm from the home position on the keyboard. It's slow, too. It doesn't feel slow - so much is going on - but it is, and you'll feel yourself relax more if you learn the keyboard short cuts for your most frequent tasks. |

[I've never heard the theory that this is gender-specific; do you have a reference for that, ConsulFlaminicus?] |

Keyboard shortcuts vs. mouse manipulation seems to be one of those male / female things. |
|
|
In Word 2002, you can sextuple-click on the second letter of the sentence to perform the desired function. |
|
|
You know that ctrl+shift+arrow selects entire words at a time, right? Ctrl+backspace similarly. (In windows, anyway.) |
|
|
Blumster, I feel your pain. |
|
|
That'll get your one-line sentence. |
|
|
...and don't forget omeg's CTRL key (...and phun's tripple-click if you can be bothered going to the mouse way, way, way, pvert there.) |
|
|
Make friends with the HOME and END keys, too. (SHIFT-HOME, SHIFT-END) |
