STARTING 2023 WITH WINDOWS SHORTCUTS

  • Wanna quickly launch a new instance of the app you’re using? Press shift and click its icon in the taskbar.
  • If you want to get to the settings screen faster hit the Windows Key + i
  • In Microsoft word by hitting Shift F3 – It makes everything caps.
  • Pressing Shift+Alt+(Up/Down) will reorder list items.
  • Feedback Hub in Windows – Windows Key + F. It takes a screen shot of what you are working and puts it into your feedback.
  • If you add Shift between WIN & < and WIN & >, instead of snapping the window left & right, it’ll cycle it between monitors. You should try WIN + ALT + Up Arrow Key or Down Arrow key on Windows 11 – will snap the window in focus to the top and bottom of the screen
  • With multiple monitors, WIN+Tab shows which apps are open on each monitor
  • Windows Key + Tab vs Alt Key + Tab – two different ways to switch between open windows on your PC.
  • Pressing Delete while using Alt+Tab will close the window in focus?
  • The updated snipping experience – press WIN+Shift+S & you can choose between rectangle, freeform, or full screen
  • You can also invoke via PrintScreen or pen click (if enabled in Settings), screen snipping button in Action Center, or from Screen Sketch.
  • Tip for anyone preparing to demo something remotely – prepare it all in a separate desktop, so it’s ready there waiting for when you need it, separate from your other things. New desktop: WIN + CTRL + D Switch desktops: WIN + CTRL + Left/RightArrow
  • WIN+PrtScn = Save a full screen screenshot WIN+Shift+Enter = Make a UWP app go fullscreen WIN+Ctrl+Shift+B = Lets the system know there’s an issue w/ the display & the system will try to correct it WIN+H = Dictation (en-us) WIN+P = Presentation display mode
  • For presenters demoing on Windows PCs – unless it’s strictly necessary to show the entire screen, press WIN+Plus to zoom in on the fly, especially if you’re typing something. It’ll make it easier for folks at the back of the room to see the text. WIN+Minus will zoom back out.
