some tricks that can help you in using MS Paint productively . While those tips are amazing, there is one more thing that comes in handy when you are using MS Paint or rather, any other tool. We are referring to keyboard shortcuts and we feel that if mastered, they can really enhance your efficiency with MS Paint too. Let us begin. These shortcuts have been tried and tested on Windows 7. Ideally, they should work on other versions as well. However, there could be a few differences in actions or key combinations. We are sure you’d be smart enough to figure that out. 🙂
The Magic of Ctrl
While most of these combinations are common to many applications, there are some that you may find new and unique. Here are few images showing the grid lines, ruler, resize and skew dialog and the image properties dialog.
The Alt Combo
If you simply press the Alt key you will be shown few key tips (as shown in the image) using which you can navigate the interface and its tools. I find it really useful when my mouse malfunctions due to whatever reasons.
What’s in the Function Keys?
Windows in general has specific functions associated with each function key (F1 through F12 keys). Lets us see what MS Paint supports.
Arrow Keys
Miscellaneous
