Online Quick Ref Threatens Post-It Note "Database"

Posted by Cora Nucci Friday, Sep 14, 2007, 11:33 AM ET

Advertisers, lazy editors, and believers in paranormal hokum are fond of saying that we humans use only 10 percent of our brain capacity. This statistic has been resoundingly debunked as myth here, and here.

I don't know what the correct figure is, but I do know that my own brain has no spare room to store keyboard shortcuts. It's juggling too many scraps of data as it is. And the overflow (user names, passwords, phone numbers, keyboard shortcuts) go onto a series of Post-It Note "files", making the frame of my monitor a sort of database server.

This morning I'm going to purge my desktop system of the stickies containing keyboard shortcuts, because I just found Keyxl.com, an online reference that claims to be "the largest online database of keyboard shortcuts in the world." The site is easy to navigate and contains comprehensive lists of keyboard shortcuts for Microsoft, Adobe, and Google apps, Web browsers, email programs and image editing applications. It's worth bookmarking.
