Shortcut keys for Windows


Nowadays, a lot of people know how to use those comment shortcut keys for the computers on the left side, such as CTRL +X, C, V for cut, copy, and paste; and 90% are right handed. As I am an ambidextrous, sometimes I switch both hands on purpose, especially when my right hand gets tired. Some people might have a hard time to adopt to use their left hand to use the mouse as a “new habit!”, because they will have hard time to work on those shortcut keys on the other side. If they can do it without that big moves, which might make them have less interesting to use the wrong hand on working. In fact, the keyboard also has those most comment shortcuts on the other side, which maybe make for lefties, and those shortcuts are Shift + Delete, CTRL+ insert, and Shift + Insert, and those shortcuts also for cut, copy and paste. Those shortcuts keys give convenient for the time when you use your mouse by left hand.  It might be also suitable for the people who need to use a lot of copy and pastes on their works.

And I did some testing on Notepad, and MS office, and they work perfectly.
Shortcuts
