That is way too much work, compared to CTRL + f11.

2 and 3. The other two functions involve moving through lists of data, or

There are two other functions that work similarly, CTRL + pg up, and CTRL

Well, I did a little reading online about this sort of thing. One website

Several other websites recommended Microsoft Power Toys. That is a free

If anyone has any tips on making this work, I'd love to hear them.
