Understand that when you are writing text or text code, you will want to navigate to the extreme 4 positions faster.

Extreme - UP, Down, Left, Right

Try open a text document with notepad or other windows editor.

Now write some 20 lines of text or more and stop.

1. Now lets go Extreme Up using this combination of Keyboard Keys:
   CTRL + HOME Keys
2. Ok, now that you are UP, lets go Extreme down:
   CTRL + END Keys
3. Now, go Extreme Left:
   HOME Key

Highlighting/Selecting text is a good idea so you can Copy or Paste it into any where you want.

Ok, get ready to make the following exercises.

Each time you do a step, you can Hit the Key ESC (Escape) to unselect text

1. Select the Entire Text inside your Editor:
   CTRL + A (Case your System is English or French)
   CTRL + T (Case your System is Portuguese)
2. Select only a letter at your left or at your right:
   SHIFT + Left Arrow Or SHIFT + Right Arrow Keys
   Each time yoou click the arrow key, you will highlight a letter
3. Select a word or more at your left or at your right:
   (CTRL + Shift) + Left Arrow Or (CTRL + SHIFT) + Right Arrow
   Keys Each time you click the arrow key, you will highlight a word
4. Select an entire phrase: First, click the Key HOME so you can place the cursor at the begin of the phrase now you will use:
   SHIFT + End Keys
   Or try the oposite, placing cursor at End of phrase by hiting the END key and then use:
