Typing a dash and a space in front of every line? In Google Docs, select your lines and press Ctrl + Shift + 8. They become a neat bulleted list in one press.
The Shortcut
- Ctrl + Shift + 8: bulleted list
- Ctrl + Shift + 7: numbered list
- Mac: ⌘ + Shift + 8 / ⌘ + Shift + 7
Bonus Tip: Tab for Sub-Points
Click a list item and press Tab to tuck it in as a sub-point. Shift + Tab moves it back out. It works in Microsoft Word, too.
