Razer is a brand that’s synonymous with PC gaming, but the company took those fundamentals and applied them to an office keyboard. The Razer Pro Type Ultra, its second office effort, comes complete with faster switches, a much-improved battery, and a padded wrist rest, going above and beyond its predecessor's already impressive feature set. Command–Spacebar: Show or hide the Spotlightsearch field. To perform a Spotlight search from a Finder window, press Command–Option–Space bar. (If you use multiple input sourcesto type in different languages, these shortcuts change input sources instead of showing Spotlight. Learn how to change a conflicting keyboard shortcut.)

If you want more freedom and less cable clutter on your desk, however, it's hard to beat a wireless keyboard. Wireless models transmit data to your PC through one of two primary means: an RF connection to a small dongle plugged into one of your PC's USB ports, or a Bluetooth connection with no dongles required. Each has its pros and cons. But if you want to reduce the number of cables on your desk and gain the flexibility to use your keyboard at a distance—whether it be in your lap at your desk or across the room—wireless is the way to go. Shift–Command–Up Arrow: Select the text between the insertion point and the beginning of the document. Panasonic’s Toughbook CF-33 is sold standalone as a tablet or can be bundled with the keyboard – be sure to add it upon purchasing. The keyboard is well worth the extra outlay, because this is an excellent accessory, giving you a nice typing experience with a good level of travel (for a detachable unit).

Shift–Command–Plus sign (+): Increase the size of the selected item. Command–Equal sign (=) performs the same function. The downsides are that you don’t get a full desktop experience, compared to say Windows, although Apple is trying to provide that with iPadOS to move the tablet away from its mobile (and iOS) roots. The iPad Pro 12.9 is also eye-wateringly expensive if you want a decent amount of storage, with the detachable keyboard and stylus adding a considerable dollop of extra cost. This isn’t a hybrid combo for the financially faint of heart. Control–Command–Space bar: Show the Character Viewer, from which you can choose emoji and other symbols. Control-Option-Command-Comma(,) and Control-Option-Command-Period (.): Reduce contrast and increase contrast. Option–Shift–Up Arrow: Extend text selection to the beginning of the current paragraph, then to the beginning of the following paragraph if pressed again.

The transferable type, number, capacity and expiry date of files as well as the number of simultaneous file shares in Private Share may be limited. Option-Command-V: Move the files in the Clipboard from their original location to the current location. Before you go shopping, however, it pays to know what makes a keyboard a good fit. Modern models come in a bunch of subtypes, from boards optimized for typing efficiency to sculpted ergonomic designs that cradle your hands and relieve stress on the joints. Let's dig into the features to look for. A rugged 2-in-1 is another niche area, but for those who need a tablet with keyboard which can take some punishment, this Panasonic product is king of the rough-and-tough hill. While all keyboards offer the necessary QWERTY layout of keys for everyday typing, sometimes typingisn'tyour main concern. Gaming keyboardsare designed for competitive use and emphasize things office keyboards don't.
