In the event of mouse failure your can use the tab button to cycle between all fields in an active window, shift+ tab cycles backwards.
Very useful when filling out forms online, let's you cycle to the next field without using the mouse

Nice, I've still been using ctrl+atl+delete from the good old days when that did the trick directly.
can also right click on task bar and choose task manager.
