Tech Tip – Fast Highlighting

February 8, 2023 by Mike Knight

If you’d like a fast method of highlighting paragraphs of text (e.g. for copying and pasting) without having to click and drag your mouse to a specific point, here’s how to do it.

To quickly highlight a paragraph/several paragraphs of text you’re viewing in a browser:

– Click in front of the words you want to select.

– Holding down the shift key, click at the end of the passage you want to highlight.

– The whole section between those clicks should now be highlighted.

– The same method also works in reverse, e.g. clicking first at the end of the passage you’d like to highlight.
