Do you want to learn how to become a keyboard wizard? In this episode, Tyson shares an important tip lawyers can use in their practice, which involves using a keyboard. 

Lawyers are very busy people and usually don't have a lot of time. There are keyboard shortcuts that attorneys can use that will make work more efficient, especially if you do repetitive tasks. 

Some of these shortcuts include functions like: 

• Copy: Control + C or Command + C to copy 
• Paste: Control + V or Command + V to paste
• Delete: On a Mac, you click Command + Delete OR on a PC, you click Command + Shift + Delete.
• Entire screen screenshot: Click Shift + Command + 3 for a Mac OR on a PC, you select the print screen button on the keyboard

There are some advanced functions that Tyson shares. If you want to quickly lock your screen, you press Command + Q for a PC. If you want to open your emoji keyboard on your screen, it's Control + Command + Space for Mac. For a PC, it is “Windows.Windows;” Another interesting function is looking up a definition. For a Mac, click Command + Control + D, all while hovering above the word you want to look up. For PC, it is Alt + Click.

All of these shortcuts take practice to learn and master. Sooner or later, you will be able to use them to streamline your workflows.
