Now, how many remember “why” Tesler decided he could use Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, and Ctrl-V, Ctrl-R, Ctrl-F and have those commands be so readily accepted by (now) billions of computer users?

Others, less commonly remembered:
Ctrl-Z Undo.
Ctrl-Y Repeat Last Commend
Ctrl-N New (message) in Outlook email
Ctrl-[End] Sends cursor to end
Ctrl-[Home] Sends cursor to front (or first)

Depending on the program, others are for formatting
Ctrl-I Italics
Ctrl-B Bold
Ctrl-+ Zoom in (make image bigger)
Ctrl— Zoom out (make image smaller)

Because he was a CTRL freak?.....................[no mouses]

Used often, but if only it worked to undo last action in real life!

In Apache and Libre office word pros, you can created costume keyboard commands (like make F2 do paste unformatted, and Insert to save document).

And with my stiff arthritic finders (more like search and destroy vs. hunt and peck) then to save time and mistakes, I use AutoHotKey to remap CapsLock to ctrl+c (copy) and Esc to ctrl+v (paste) and then NumLock to Esc . And the middle mouse button to cut.

CapsLock::^c

Esc::^v

NumLock::Esc

mbutton::^x)

Thank God for His grace thru others.
