Keyboard Tricks

Knowing the good keyboard tricks can be very helpful and save you a lot of time when working with Joomla. Here are a few I know of:

Start out by going to your module manager and opening up a module.

Multi-Select Menu Items:
To do this simply left click a item in the menu and then hold down your shift key on your keyboard and left click another menu item in the list.

Single Select Menu Items:
You might want to select multiple menu items, but how do you do this if they are not in order? Hold down the control (Ctrl) key on your keyboard and left click each menu item you want to select!

Copy and Pase: Sometimes the editor will not let you copy and paste text from another website into the editor, so a quick work around is to copy text just hold down the Control (Ctrl) key and press the "c" key on your keyboard. To paste what you have copied, simply hold down the Control (Ctrl) key and press "v" on your keyboard.

Consistency in Image Ratio: The last thing you want on a graphic or image that you have worked hard on is to have it distorted when you resize it in the editor, so to keep the consitency in your image just simply hold down the shift key on your keyboard and left click and hold the left click on a corner of your image and drag toward or against its oposing corner.

Not Really Keyboard Tricks, but Helpful:


Find all of the module positions in your template using your web browser: Simply add to the end of your URL and you will see all of your module positions in your template highlight. For example if your domain was http://tucsonmessage.com your new URL would be http://tucsonmessage.com?tp=1.
