| | ====== Core Productivity Keyboard Shortcuts ====== |
| | |
| | * ''Alt+Tab'', Task Switcher, tap and release to alternate between current and last window. This usage pattern comes up a lot. |
| | * ''Ctrl+Alt+Tab'', open task switcher and leave it open |
| | * press spacebar or enter to toggle to previous window |
| | * press ''tab'' to select window |
| | * ''Win+Tab'', open task view |
| | * ''Ctrl+Win+<left/right arrow>'', move between virtual desktops |
| | * ''Win+S'', Windows search |
| | |
| | * ''Ctrl+Shift+v'', paste as plain text |
| | * ''Win+v'', show clipboard history |
| | * ''Ctrl+Shift+Esc'', open Task Manager |
| | * ''Win+<num>'', opens the app pinned to taskbar in position <num> |
| | |
| | * ''Ctrl+Win+Shift+b'', resets the video driver; it's good for clearing up stray video artifacts left on the screen |
| | * ''Win + ~'', open and close quake style terminal |
| | |
| | * ''Win + a'', open the Windows notifications panel |
| | * ''Win + ↓'', ''Win + ↑'', restore/minimize/maximize window |
| | |
| | ====== RDP Sessions ====== |
| | * To press ''Ctrl+Alt+Del'' in the RDP session run on-screen keyboard (osk.exe) and hold Ctrl+Alt and click Delete |
| | * Alternatively, press Shift 5 times and only enable sticky keys on the RDP session and press Ctrl, Alt and then Delete |
| | * ''Ctrl+Alt+Home'', escape out of RDP window back to client machine; it actually activates the connection bar, which has the effect of escaping the keyboard/mouse from the remote machine; this is handy to break out of the remote machine and do something like bring up task switcher on the local machine |
