The CTRL modifier key (see Windows modifier keys) is used to extend the functionality of your keyboard. 

“Jumping” with the CTRL key was introduced in Using CTRL and SHIFT in lists. This article gives you more ways to jump around, saving you time and keeping you focused on the task you are working on. 
 
Whether you are using Word or another editor, you can quickly jump around by using the CTRL key with “navigation” keys and other keys. 
 
Navigation keys are UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, PAGEUP, PAGEDOWN, HOME, and END. You can use the CTRL key with all of them. Below is a list of shortcuts you can use to get around quickly. 
 
 
Learning the CTRL key shortcuts saves you time by allowing you to jump to where you want to go. If you use editors, take the time to learn these. It will be worth the effort.
