So here are some computer mouse tips:

 mouse tips:

Shift + mouse

There’s a way to select entire paragraphs of text without needing to hold your mouse down and drag it across the desk like you’re wrestling with it. Simply place the cursor at the beginning of the text you wish to select, then scroll down to the end. Hold the shift key, and left click where you want the selection to end.

The third button

Unless you’re a gamer boasting a Razer Deathadder 2013 mouse with a dozen buttons, your mouse probably has two buttons and a wheel, right? Wrong. In case you didn’t know, the wheel is also a button and can be pressed down. Pressing a link in a browser with the wheel will open the link in a new tab, and pressing it anywhere else will allow you to fast scroll through the page. Holding the CTRL button while scrolling will zoom the browser in and out, and holding the Shift button will make the browser go back or forward.

Double-click and triple-click

Double-clicking a word selects it entirely, but triple-clicking the word will select the entire paragraph. Also, if you double-click a word, but keep your mouse button pressed, you can drag to select entire word by word.

CTRL Click

If you want to highlight particular parts of text that are not next to each other, that can be done simply by CTRL-left clicking whatever you wish to highlight. This might be useful when you’re trying to copy only parts of a table or a list.

There are other things you can do with your mouse, like switch the left and right button or set up additional buttons to do particular tasks. These are only some mouse tips I found particularly useful in an office environment.
