A very simple one most don't know about is holding the shift or ctrl keys when selecting multiple items/files at once.

Anyway, here's a master list of keyboard shortcuts:

I need to replace a type E11 based bulb in a ceiling fan. I tried LEDS and they died within a week (started flickering). Guess I'll have to go back to halogens. Or change the socket size somehow.

is it on some sort of dimmer control? The bulb certainly doesn't like something... especially if some sort of phase cutting is happening. (??)

Some led's don't play well with vibrations from a fan.

The reviews on Amazon were terrible saying that they only lasted a few days. But there are none at Home Depot or anywhere else I could find so I tried these terrible ones off of Amazon. There is no such thing as an LED that fits that size with any halfway decent reviews. So back to halogens I go.
