I hate excel and sitting infront of corporate computers-it was a HUGE WASTE OF MY LIFE TO BE EMPLOYED AND STARING AT EXCEL SHEETS THE WHOLE DAY.Now i am self employed and walk out more and deal with situations rather than staring at screens.Shame on you for making people lazy with SCREENS
Win + Z to arrange open windows as you like
Clipboard history at 00:52 is gold. Thank you❤
Using it every day since it was released :)
Before this was a feature, I bought software to do the same thing. Now, whenever I show this to colleagues and friends, their minds are blown. End result, people bring me coffee for more nuggets 🤣
Ikr 🧡
Agreed, shocked I didn't know about this one.
Windows + Shift + S for the snip it tool, great combo with the windows + V clipboard shortcut. Windows + H for the speech to text tool, great for notes or slow typers!
Now you can also set the Print Screen key to bring up the snipping tool in accessibility settings
yeah win + H is pretty great
Win+Shift+S to take a screenshot is one of my favorites.
Just learned about it. Computer shortcuts are not for everyone 👍👍
After using computers for 22 years, there are things that I am still learning! Thanks!!
Simp
No worries
Not all tips were available 22 years ago.
Most of the tips only apply recently
So keep following her.
Don't worries, Still remains 90% left to learn 😂😂😂
بچے ابھی تم نے سیکھا ہے کیا ہے!
Bro, you are a Senior
Windows +E for File Explorer and Control+F to search (especially useful for finding specific words on a web page)
Another that I use a lot (but doesn't work everywhere) is CTRL + Shift + V
It is a paste command but will strip out any formatting that a block of text has. This will help things copied from a webpage, etc, to paste into your new document or email without changing the way your document looks.
But the one I use the most is CTRL + W. This will close your current tab in every browser I've used as well as many other programs (like Excel, photoshop, etc)
or CTRL + T to open a new tab
I wished this worked in OneNote, but alas
There are a few other amazing shortcuts :
Win+Ctrl+D : open a virtual desktop
Win+Ctrl+F4 : close a virtual desktop
Win+Ctrl+arrow keys : navigate between virtual desktop
(Those one are especially useful when you have only one screen)
Win+arrow key : maximize, minimize or arrange windows
Windows+number keys : open the corresponding app on your task bar (e.g if you pined outlook in the 3rd position win+3 to open outlook, another win+3 will minimize it)
Hi Leila,
I always appreciate shortcut key videos because they can often be so much quicker and easier to use. As a screen reader user I rely on them totally so it's nice to see that they are valued. If you pin programs to the taskbar at the bottom pressing windows key plus a number will launch that program, I use this all the time. So for instance I have Microsoft edge as the first program and to launch it from anywhere I just press Windows key plus 1. Also to jump to where the network icon and the volume control and such are just press Windows key plus B.
Thanks for sharing!
My new favorite one is CTRL + Shift , it launches things in Administrator mode. Just learned it like a week ago lol 😊
Wow! Thank you! Exceptional, useful shortcuts!
This favorite shortcut is for the ISE/IDE editors for most languages: Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down - does a columnar selection so you can insert/edit/delete the same columns across multiple lines. This makes it easier to line up variable declarations and assignments together, adding legibility and maintainability.
Brilliant. I like the one Windows and + especially to zoom in on the formula bar when training students in Excel. Your training helps me so much! Thank you Leila.
Your videos are always teaching some thing new. Thanks a ton Leila
Best tips, thank you!!
What a great video Leila! I totally agree that everyone should be using these and I will be sharing this widely. I thought I new shortcuts pretty well but I only knew about half of these. My favourite new one you shared is the magnifier. I'm using it as I type this comment. I do a bit of training at work and this one is going to be SOOO useful. The "reopen tabs" one is even better than you talked about. It will even re-open closed browser windows (along with all the tabs in them)! Thanks for making such a useful and clear video Leila. ❤❤ your work.
Favorite shortcut in Windows Explorer (the file manager): Ctrl+NumpadPlus: resize all columns to fit contents (once; it's not a setting). This only applies to the Details view.
Shortcut to switch to details view: Ctrl+Shift+6. The same shortcut with other numbers switches to other views. I like Ctrl+Shift+2 for browsing image thumbnails.
Thanks for sharing!
@lgvdbroek Nowhere is the scope limited to shortcuts using the Windows key - including the title. This video actually contains shortcuts that do not use the Windows key. At the end she invites viewers to comment about "any other shortcuts you use a lot".
What's your favorite shortcut?
Ctrl+Z = Undo last action
@@MR-backup Ctrl+Y = redo last undone action.
I've been an IT professional for over 25 years and I use all of these except Ctrl + K which I will be using from now on! So, a good selection that should have something for most users.
One I use a lot is Ctrl+Shift+N to create new folders in File Expolorer.
Bro, you are an O.G.
Thank you Leila as ever. You're videos are so helpful and informative.
Thanks for sharing, really learned a lot 🙏
Thanks, very userful indeed.
Thanks for sharing Leila, I am all excited to use these new shortcuts (better late than never).
I work with a big monitor at work and used to spend time resizing open windows. This was very tedious. Win+arrow keys worked like a charm in easily fitting windows to a specific part of the screen. For example, Select an open window and press Win+Right arrow to fit the window to the right half of the screen. My two cents on the win-shortcuts I found really helpful. Keep rocking!
THANK YOU !!! - Really usefull
It opened many Windows .. Thank you very much 👌.
Thanks Leila, learned new shortcuts that help in my day to day work.
Thanks so much for the video! Each one of your videos has been very educational and helpful. Have a great day, and don’t work too hard!
Ctrl+K & CTRL+Shift+T were new to me, will definitely be using. Thanks.
Thank you, Leila
Great set of useful shortcuts.
I also use often the combination of left WIN + SPACEBAR for switching the keyboard's languages (it works in W10 and higher)
Thanks your hints are very handy
Great tips, a few I didn't know of. Thanks!
I've been demoted. I was a know-it-all, but I didn't know some of these short-cuts. But now I do !!! I'm a know-it-all again !!! Thank you !!!
😁
Thank you so much, these shortcut are really amazing.
Thank you!
One of the best windows shortcuts is Windows key + Shift + Left/Right arrow key. This will switch your open window to your other displays. For example I have 3 screens I use for work, usually if I wanted to take the open window to another display I would use the mouse to drag the window to the display I wanted to use.
Using this shortcut it does the same thing: windows is on display 1, I press Win + Shift + Left Arrow window jumps to display 2, press it again window jumps to display 3.
I guarantee when your colleagues see this in the office they will be very impressed.
I learned this a few months ago, I use it many times a day. I snap windows all over the screen, people always ask how I did that so fast. Magic!
Thanks for sharing!
THANK YOU! I was doing this without the Shift and it's slower and asks to put something next to that window.
Very useful, some were unknown.
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing
these are awesome, thanks Leila
Alt+Tab is a nice shortcut worth to mention. Great video as always!
Another excellent video, Leila! Thank you!
Thank you for this. I just don't take the time to learn these shortcuts and something like this, that highlights them, is perfect for reminding and learning.
Who said: "You can't teach an old dog new tricks"? I have been using computers for over 30 years and today I learned thanks to you, New Tricks! Thanks Leila 😍
That's great to hear!
Could it be that you are not a dog?
Great shortcuts!!! very useful
Fantastic. I'm going to share this with people on my team at work today! You are awesome.
Eye Opener.
Thanks.
❤🔥
Fantastic, Thank you, I love it....👍👍👌👌
This video was seriously great. Thank you
Great video
Wow! Nice video. I didn't know about some of these shortcuts!
Thank you Leila! Part of your hints I know and use but you always teach something new and useful.
You are so welcome!
These are great, thanks Leila! Another one I use all the time as an AV operator iis Windows-i to open settings.
You are wonderful, aways sharing amazing things, thanks for that
Great video - Control - Shift T has been a life saver many many times for me.
Win+period and Win+comma are some neat shortcuts I didn't know about and will start using. I just learned about Win+v a week before seeing this video but it has quickly become my favorite shortcut as I have a lot of repetitive text in my job. Great video thanks!
Holy cow!! Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Thanks for the information
Smart and gorgeous, thank you for all your help.
Win+Shift+A selective screen shot. life saver!
Handy as always, thank you
👍👍...was just trying the windows + .
Thank you Leila, great👌
Leila...this is good. I'd try these out. Thank you for always dishing out new tricks 👏
Thank you so much
Wonderful. I knew a few of these, and I thought going in that I would already be aware of most shortcuts being discussed here. I was wrong - pleasantly surprised. Thank you. :)
Glad you found something new!
Thank you.
Nice Leila Madam. Thankyou!
These ones are completely new to me:
1. Win + ,
2. Win + +, Win + - and Win + Esc
Thanks!
Great tips Leila, thanks a lot , greetins from México
This is such an amazing post! I really found that windows key + V very useful
Glad it was helpful!
This entire video is worth watching for Windows + V. I have been looking for a way to do this for years. Once upon a time you could do this in most Microsoft applications. Thank you so much Leila.
You're welcome!
Awesome as always
Learning every day!
Another great video Leila!!
Thanks ! I never knew.
I always look forward to Thursday mornings with Prof Leila (while sipping a cup of hot coffee) and today was no different. 9 shortcuts presented, ... and I knew 2 ... 😬. But thanks to Prof Leila, I will soon be using several more.
Thank you ... thank you ... thank you ... 😍😍😍
PS
At the 46 second mark " ... this is probably my son's most used shortcut ..." ... 🤭🤭
Yeah, he wasn't so amused when he heard that 😁 Glad you found some new shortcuts!
Ur the best, great vid very informitive.
Ms. Gharani: I just love your diction and enunciation - it has such clarity, and your explanations are pleasant to listen to. Thanks for these tips!
Thank you so much, Leila, My favourite one is Window + P = screen shoot.
Window + X is a great help.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great stuff
Excellent 🎉 as always 👏
These are great!
This has become one of my favorite channels these days.
Careful - when you try Windows+L keys = your screen is locked. Good luck to find your way back.
Thanks! Didn't know about win+"+"
Very useful!!! thank you!!!!
Our pleasure!
Thanks... win + , was the one I didn't know & it was pretty neat...
A big, indeed 10 times big thank you for sharing these invaluable tricks. :)
Ctrl+tab and Ctrl+shift+tab for navigating tabs in a browser. Alt+tab for jumping back and forth quicker than windows+tab between two open windows/applications.
Thank you for making this video btw... there's some goodies in there for sure.
Hi Guider,
It's useful for me thanks you for your clear speech and explanation
These are fantastic! Thank you Leila. You always have the best summaries!
You are so welcome!
great resume of useful Windows shortcuts. I use most of them on a daily basis and one I didn't see is Windows+Shift+S to take a quick screenshot on your clipboard. Thanks
👍
Thank you. Those help a lot. 😊Especially the very first one to get to the desktop. I know to click the very right corner next to the time to get to it as well, but at work with two screens it somehow does not work all the time and minimising all windows by hand takes so much time.
So thank you for that short cut.😊
Brilliant!
Very helpful
My favorite as a computer technician is Win + Break to get a first impression of the built-in hardware (which CPU / how much RAM)
useful tips!
Great video as usual, Thank you !
I use Window + E a lot to open the File Explorer :p
Win +/- is awsome will use it ! Thanks
lovely lesson
Amazing!
Thank You So Much Leila
Thanks for your reply Leila. I am watching your videos. Really getting more knowledge through your videos.
I am David from India.

Leila you're a genius. I didn't even know about most of these shortcuts! thanks for the post!
