Drill these first. Anything I type, I'm constantly using both—my cursor is flying around fast. This is an underrated power. I'm not a fast typer, but I can maneuver my cursor like a pro! Ready for an advanced one? Mac 3) Highlight a word: shift-opt-left AND shift-opt-right Windows 3) Highlight a word: ctrl-shift-left AND ctrl-shift-right I use this less often.
