noah’s mark

My coworker Michael uses this one, which I’ve found saves me a bit of time and a headache.  Normally, to paste into a command prompt, you have to right-click on the command prompt; this is well and good if you have your hand on the mouse already, but annoying if you have your hands on the keyboard.  Instead, try the following:

1. Alt+spacebar (activates the window menu)
2. E (for the “Edit” menu)
3. P (for “Paste”)

It is a little bit awkward at first, but as it becomes muscle memory, you’ll find it much faster than moving your hand to the mouse and back.
