Special thanks to my Patrons for going through the 20 minute rough cut of this video and giving me the feedback to complete it and release it as a much better video to the public. You guys honestly are amazing and help keep me motivated. Thank you!
I hope you guys enjoyed this video and learned about a few new Hot Keys & Shortcuts you didn't know about before. I use these all the time in my daily activities and thought it would be nice to share them since everyone on my Twitter (@barnacules) has been enjoying the #TechTips I've been dropping over the years. If you guys enjoyed the video please consider subscribing and checking out my last video on RTX Voice which is an amazing software package that lets you filter out background noise from your Microphone using AI & Machine Learning.
If you guys have any questions hit me up in the comments below or just Tweet me. I will also be live streaming on Twitch this week if you want to come and hang out and you can find the links to everything I do in the video description. If you're new here I would like to say welcome 👋
CAT FLAVORED WATER
shortcuts save sooo much time in windows always love to learn more and save more time to watch more Barnacules
didnt know ctrl f4
keep em coming barn! i miss this content from you! tinkering and coding and tips like this! keep it goin! woo!
Hi jerry keep up the good work. Love the videos
One of my favorites is ctrl + backspace. This will delete an entire word at a time instead of a single character. This is really handy if you type a lot.
I totally missed that one, thank you 🙏
also holding ctrl + arrow keys will move the cursor between entire words, and ctrl + shift + arrow keys will let you highlight text much more efficiently
Actually it doesn't work everywhere. For example while renaming files. Windows explorer inserts some rectangle character that represents this combo. I think I've seen this somewhere else too, but I can't recall it now. And this CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER thing - it's gonna be my new favourite, thanks for that.
I use that one so much. And ctrl+a then backspace
There is a lot of great shortcuts with Ctrl and Shift. For example if you want to select a text from beginning of the file to where the cursor is just press Ctrl+Shift+Home. This also works with End, Page Up, Page Down, Up arrow, Down arrow. Pretty useful when working with documents, code or consoles.
Ctrl+Shift+T is one of the best, it's the undo close tab shortcut, super handy.
Mixed with the Close tab...
love this one too, saved my bacon more that once, It even works in Incognito mode.
didn't know this, but awesome! Beats going into history and manually opening it.
Ctrl+W to close a tab is way easier to hit than Ctrl+F4.
The fact it works in incognito is a little disturbing 😎
4:20 *WIN+L* “Yeah mom. Just love looking at my lock screen. That’s what you walked in on me doing.
That's why I windows D
That's what you have WIN+Ctrl+Left/Right arrow for.

Very nice--thanks for taking the time to do this. 👍🏻
All heroes don't wear capes.
I use CTRL + W all the time to close tabs in my browser of choice, or a MMB press even more so instead of CTRL + F4.
CTRL + F4 works across all multiple document interfaces in any program which is what I like. Browsers always act a little different though, notice how they use F11 for full screen while everything else standardizes on ALT-ENTER. It's strange 🤔
@@Barnacules They do different things. Alt + f4 is closing a program. Ctrl + W is closing a tab within focused program.
Ctrl+ W is not just browsers, it also works in VScode, MSoffice / LibreOffice, Krita, MS terminal, inkscape, most adobe products (IIRC).
Also as a continuation to this video perhaps it'd be interesting to discuss how to rebind / macro keys?
Example: Alt + f4 is the OG way of doin things for sure. But unless you're using a compact form factor keyboard it's not really accessible with only 1 hand. What if you rebind it to Alt + ~ 😁
@@marble_wraith Jerry was talking about Ctrl+F4 (close tab), not Alt+F4 (close window).
Anyway, Ctrl+W often closes a tab, but not always, whereas Ctrl+F4 usually works in either case. For example, Ctrl+W does not close a tab in Visual Studio (proper) or IntelliJ IDE, but Ctrl+F4 does.
I've used CTRL+W for a long time to close tabs, but it doesn't work in SQL Enterprise Manager or whatever that's called these days. Going to give the CTRL+F4 a try when I'm working tomorrow, I'm excited 🤓
@@marble_wraith Thumb on alt, middle finger f4, not too bothered about taking my hand away from the home keys to do that as I'm closing the program anyway.
What the two previous posters were referring to is Ctrl+F4, not Alt, which is generally the same function as Ctrl+W, Ctrl+F4 makes more sense for me as I see it as Alt+Tab -> Ctrl+Tab, Alt+F4 -> Ctrl+F4
I hate typing on glass! LOL Love ya buddy. Hope you and the family are doing well.
MetalJesusRocks it’s been a roller coaster but as you can see I’m dusting things off and getting back at it 🤔

Not even 2Tb... Rookie numbers.
@@Outland9000 It is most likely a VM or a dual boot system. Maybe this is your first time watching him. You should focus on your RUclips channel. 20 views a month / 158 views in 8 months is a bit low to be calling someone a rookie.
@@ShawnClarady 1. I'm not a RUclipsr. 2. It's called humour, you should try it sometime.
@@Outland9000 When you click on your name it shows 10 gaming style videos and 21 subs. If that is not you then someone is uploading under your name. Most resent is 1 day ago. I almost subscribed but if you are not posting to RUclips then wont. I was not trying to sound rude. sorry if i did.
@@ShawnClarady You didn't sound rude, it sounded like my lewd pun went right over your head. Those videos are literally only there so I could share the links with people I game with to show them something, I'm lazy so I just left them as public. I'm not a RUclipsr. I do not upload videos for views and I don't give a monkeys if anyone subscribes to my channel or not.
Question: Will you ever start up the Codegasm series, and is Java on the list of languages to cover?
Hope you're doing well, look forward to the next video.
Stay safe man.
Gareth Fuller when I bring it back I plan to stick to managed languages but probably not Java since it’s too close to C#. But maybe some Python since I’ve wanted to learn it.
Java is C# but worse xD
....which happens when almost all modern language features are an afterthought 💓
+ automated getters and settlers, operator overload, extension method etc. All usually not possible in Java.
+ reflection on Java suuuuuucks 😂
@@Subbestionix From memory, C# was created after/in response to Java. If that is the case, then the developers of C# had the opportunity to look at something similar to their end goal, learn from their mistakes and implement newer things. Moreover, it's hard to get things perfect on the first go, not to mention perfectly anticipate and plan for the future...
Each has their purpose, still don't quite get why people have an abiding dislike of Java, but to each their own I suppose.
Have a nice day!
@@Barnacules Python please
go watch Pundahar's java tutorials number 3849
Control, Shift, T is a good one for re opening closed tabs. but your videos recently have been really great, the RTX voice one helped tons you have no clue!!
I'd definitely like to see a part 2. Great video!
I work as a Network Admin, and I never knew there was a keyboard shortcut for admin prompts. At work and home I have separate admin accounts for security and this will honestly make working with Windows SO much easier.
Thanks for the shortcut tips! Very useful. I actually use the virtual desktops all the time. I find them a great organization technique.
More people should use it.
@@Barnacules Before I saw this video, I only remember seeing virtual desktops while using linux distros.
It’s not a feature a lot of people know about since it was generally only accessible though external tools using the API in many windows versions. But now they allow access to it with hot keys and task switcher 👍🏻
There is one people don't know about because you're so used to for years to click around is (I know it's not specific to Windows) :
*ALT + TAB*
when you are on a form, and you want to go to the next field, you use TAB. And to go to the previous field, *ALT+TAB*
(in excel, you can have many cells selected and move the active one WITHOUT losing the selection your selection with TAB and ALT+TAB instead of using the arrow keys).
Another one useful with internet browsers is : *CTRL+TAB* - it selects the next tab (useful when you have tons of them opened), and to go back in the list : *CTRL+SHIFT+TAB*
I have been watching you for going on 7 years now and I love your content. I'm 17... so that's almost half my life. I've been looking forward to you hitting 1mil for a while now. I just wanted to say keep up the good work and thank you for entertaining me throughout the years!
I'm one of the person that didnt know that ctrl+z, thank you!
No way, are you being totally serious? Because if so you just made my day and justified all the hours I put into this video with a single comment 🙏
@@Barnacules I didn't know about it either. I've used UNDO in some programs if it is available, but it isn't always available. I'll have to give it a try. That will help me out. Thanks. Also, I didn't know about a bunch of these. I'm going to have to watch this a few times for it all the sync in. There are several things in there I think I will like and use.
There is also Ctrl+Y. Which is a short key for redo after you do Ctrl+Z (undo).
Ctrl+Y is the redo button, in case you didn't know. Very helpful if you did more Ctrl+Z than necessary (or comparing the two).
@@CheapBastard1988 control shift z is also sometimes redo
MMB on taskbar buttons to open different instances of a program.
Middle clicking on stuff if probably my most used one. New tab, new program instance, close a tab, etc.
SUPERB video … this is invaluable information. Thanks Jerry :D
Honestly one of the most helpful videos ever posted, and I am an IT professional. Keep it up!
I'm the one dude who only knew alt-tab. This is awesome please do more of these.
Ctrl + Shift for running in admin mode - beauty! I had no idea that was a shortcut for that.
It’s super useful! I use it instinctively for some apps now knowing it won’t let me update files in protected areas. You can also go into shortcut properties and tell it to always run elevated, but sometimes I don’t want to.
Very useful and informative!
Thanks 🙏
Great to have you back doing your really good instructional videos - just like the old days. 👍👍👍
Barn my dude. Hope you're doing well.
Things are great today, but it changes day to day.
Why wouldn't he be? He's not just capable of ossum !!!!! He is Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jerry ! Jerry! Jerry!
😁😁😁😁😁
Funny that you shortend the name to just that, 'cuse "barn" in Norwegian means "kids" or "children"!
You can MMB over an app in the taskbar to open a new instance. Also works for links and tabs in browsers.
To open and close tabs, you can use CTRL+T and CTRL+W.
Dude, MMB in browser for links is gonna save me SO MUCH time. Thanks! I've used it before but forgot about it
@@ratchetgladiator1 MMB a tab to close it, and MMB the empty space to the right of your open tabs to open a new tab.
Very useful to me: Create a new folder in Windows 7, 8 and 10 ➡️ Ctrl+Shift+N
That's also a usefull shortcut for chrome
Ctrl+N is also New file in most programs, or a new instance as well. Ctrl+Shift+N opens incognito mode in Chrome lol
Starting with Windows 8, you can switch between viewing modes with Ctrl+Tab+1 to 7.
Indeed - and F2 with a file or folder highlighted to rename. In fact lots of the F buttons do things in Windows Explorer :).
Great to see an old-school Barnacules video! I learnt me some stuff on this one.
Glad you enjoyed it.
When you knew about Virtual Desktops and like 80% of the other shortcuts bit you didn't know about one of the most important! Ctrl+Z 🤦♂️
True
How does one use a computer and never use alt z? What do you usually do if you make a mistake?
@@computethis7128 I just clicked the undo button when I was on a Microsoft Office application or well the dreaded retype everything. Luckily I never had to use this type of feature outside Microsoft Office very often. (Usually happens when I write essays).
@@BakaVacaa I'm so used to the shortcut that I completely forgot there is an undo button at the top of office applications 🤣
@@computethis7128 and now so will I now that I know this WONDERFUL SHORTCUT! Lol
OK, I only knew about half of those and I feel so incompetent, lol. The fact that many of the commands reversed when hit twice made me drop my food. SO a big THANK YOU!
Can i recommended putting a list of the shortcuts mentioned and a small desc. Of what they do in the video description.
This.
Many years ago I made a list of many controls (How to CTRL your computer) but I lost it...
As someone working from home who does screen prints all the time. Win+shift+s is gonna save me a huge amount of time. Thanks Barnacules!
10:42 Expression you know what mean that helpful.. 😂😂
I use the same mouse as him and have the six keys mapped as below:
1> Win + D + Left : G7
2> Win + D + Right : G8
3> Copy Ctrl + C :G9
4> Paste Win + V : G6
5> move to the previous webpage : Alt + Left Key : G4
6> Move to the next webpage: Alt + Right Key: G5
Jerry, Can you do a followup video on how to disable the spying in Windows 10. I know a lot has changed and some of those settings you talked about have been automatically enabled again...
This, so much has changed
Yes please do this Jerry
Not a keyboard shortcut, but clicking the scroll wheel on links will open them in a new tab, clicking it on tabs will close them, clicking on a program will open a new instance. By far my most used shortcut.
Great video, I love shortcuts!
I was the one person that didn't know about ctrl+z
No you weren't
make it two😂😂 and you see those emojis that i know how to do now
Then I'm going to amp up your knowledge to be even more enlightened. CTRL+SHIFT+Z often redo the action as well
... been using Windows since Windows for Workgroups... did not know about CTRL+Z either.
I'm an avid user of shortcuts but I had no idea about CTRL + Enter in the Run dialog to open as admin. This is life changing for my work where I have to open cmd as admin multiple times a day!
Just commenting to enter the giveaway to win 10 shortcuts. Hope I get good ones!
It has come to my attention that "win" means "Windows," not "win" a giveaway. I'm very disappointed. CLICKBAIT!!!!11!SHIFT+1
Sir I have addressed your concerns and fixed the click bait title so I don’t get sued by the internet police. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I’ve entered you into a giveaway to receive 4 pieces of toilet paper 🧻
Jerry....you are as valuable to the PC tech community as water is to humanity. Thank you much good man. Cheers.
How is no one freaking out about windows + v? I'm been wanting this since windows XP even trying 3rd party programs that were junk. WHAAAA!
It's been around for a couple years now
I love the Virtual desktop shortcut!! As a streaming radio DJ using laptops to broadcast. Well, one to broadcast the other one to handle the social media and program content stuff. Instead of using tabs and getting confused all the time I can now use the desktops!! Brilliant shortcuts, some I knew but not all of them.
There is a red cow behind you staring at you
hornetluca that is Sargent Danger Cow 🐮
@@Barnacules I didn't spot it untill close to the end of the vid, I may need glasses
@@dirtyhaz9517 Intense focus is a good thing.
Jerry you are awesome thank you! As one who works with PC each day for 9 hours this is truly will make my work more productive and also help me with the ergonomics
Sweet i dont have to do Win+R for snippingtool anymore. Didnt even know about the shortcut
Edit: The emojis in characters is called emoticons if i am not wrong
Edit2: I think you should’ve mentioned how using the run dialogue may need you to find out the specific program name like for PowerPoint it is powerpnt and for Word it is winword m
If I'm looking for a specific prog I just hit the windows key the type the prog name. I rarely use the run widow's unless for "regedit"
Phin86 the emojis in characters is called kaomoji. It’s what the option is called as well. kaomoji are Japanese emoticons.
You have single handedly made me enjoy a desktop environment again. I really love your vides. Thank you for getting back to RUclips.
Finally he’s posting on youtube again I’ve missed your content
Whoever added the key time stamps abs labels thank you 🤗
Great video. I like WIN + TAB so much that I created a little C# application to act like a hot corner (top left-hand) so that I can just mouse over it to force the task view to appear.
"want to open up msft Edge,,"
said no people
actually edge now is one of the best "major" browsers .. its based on chromium but doesn't track as much as Chrome .. I'm sure it does tracking but its not as invasive as Google Chrome but still has access to the Chrome extensions. I guess Firefox is good also .. but as of now .. it's a battle between Firefox and Edge .. and Chrome is basically falling out of graces
@@orionstoy "Doesn't track as much as Chrome". That's like saying Syphilis isn't that bad compared to Aids. It's still something you don't want period.
@@CheapBastard1988 Rather, it's more accurate to compare to getting punched instead of having a hammer swung at your face. Definitely want to avoid both scenarios (which is why I use FF) but if I'm doomed to choose one, then the answer would've been obvious.
I have an underpowered detachable windows tablet with 2GB of RAM and believe me, I use the old Edge browser daily and it works really well on such devices, I imagine Microsoft originally designed it to work on their own underpowered devices that couldn't handle Aero effects when developing it when Windows 10 first came out.
It only runs slow on Google services like RUclips but then I can switch to the Chromium one on the same device without much issue
ALT + D is my favorite and what it does is it puts your cursor into the top URL/Search field. It's like CTRL + L or F6, except it ALWAYS works which those two other options sometimes work and sometimes they don't. Depending on what program you are using and what is currently selected. Try it, open FF or Chrome and hit ALT + D.
I haven't even finished watching the video and I already know them all! trololol
Are you a wizard? 😉
@@Barnacules Only on Tuesdays 🧙♂️
@@overwheat Monday is Troll day right?
Closing down tabs works with Ctrl+W as well, it's probably the one shortcut i use the most!
All I wanna know is how he got that humongous mouse.

That would be Win + I, right?
@@TotoDG Yes sir!

Extra tip hold down the windows key and you get a cheat sheet for the shortcut keys.
Love that you are making videos again, keep it up.
Awesome video! More shortcuts video please!!
If this gets shared enough I’ll probably do an update next month. There are literally hundreds of shortcuts. Also, some chords I can talk about in the next video.
Another really handy shortcut for Windows that get stuck in places where you can't drag and drop is alt + space bar. This opens the window movement menu and lets you maximise, minimise and move with one shortcut. Alt + enter is also great for games because it toggles most games between full screen and windowed.
Thank you sooo much for this. I swear when I first show this I was thinking, nah, I know all the shortcuts I need. However... I keep coming back to this video. Who would think a quick video would be so helpful???
Thanks again!!
For the WIN+D, some people don't even know about the *bottom-right zone of the Windows screen* you can click on to minimize all the programs, and click again to make them appear again. I know it's not a Windows shortcut, but just throwing more info out there.
5:35 thanks for that one, and yes please make more, i often watch RUclips on my TV and i use a wireless keyboard with a trackpad, so keyboard shortcuts are a godsend, my most often used one (as you can guess) is Ctrl+W (close tab), i also recently learned of Ctrl+PgDn or Up to move between open tabs and Ctrl+1 to 9 to jump to a tab, i usually have way more than 9 tabs, so in that case Ctrl+9 takes you to the last tab, which is one of the only ways to get to it if you have more tabs open than your screen can handle, so it's super useful.
Barnacules, dude, thanks A LOT for both the shortcut and screen shoot tool, I didn't know they exist, this is saving me a lot of time!
I stumbled across the alt+Tab shortcut by accident a few months ago. I'm working on a huge minecraft build of another game's world. This shortcut makes switching between reading maps, watching videos and building much smoother.
What the hell?? No Leaf blower running in the background, I was just getting use to it!!! Lol, thanks for the tips Bud! Onward to 1,000,000 Barn Subs👍
Yo that video was so helpful it's unbelievable. I mean I was looking for some apps just to fulfill those functions.
Thank you sir. You are a scholar and a gentleman.
You just made Windows 10 times more useful for me.!!!!
Excellent excellent video. 👍👍
I need to learn using the new clipboard and virtual desktop more, because modding and programming is so annoying when you need Visual Code, hex editors, text editors, google chrome, 10 explorer windows , task manager, and other shenanigans
I use VDI for work, have two 34" ultrawide monitors and one 27" monitor in portrait mode. Any tricks for VDI that you know of?
And thanks for SHIFT+clicking on Chrome icon. I was always right clicking and opening a new window that way.
As someone who is looking to build a computer, and has minimal user experience working a computer...this is perfect!
9:18 to 9:25. You can also choose to left click with your mouse cursor on the highlighted item while still holding Alt If you keep accidently tabbing PASSED the item you want to focus on.
Tab and Shift + Tab (tab previous) are always used in forms and if your word processor/IDE app supports it will tab over and tab back the line of text you're on.
I always liked using Windows + Pause Break to get into system properties and then on into Device manager. Newer laptop keyboards don't have that key.
Thanks for the video I learned a few.
You're very welcome!
One thing about the multiple desktops is that the programs that show up in the task bar are limited to those running in the current desktop. I make use of that all the time for teaching my online classes. It allows me to keep all the stuff I had open on one desktop, and then switch to a clean desktop to broadcast.
For copying files, I use WinKey+E and WinKey+Arrow all the time to quickly setup two side by side windows. You can also setup the quadrant windows you mentioned by dragging them to the very corner of the screen.
CTRL+SHIFT+T is one of the most useful shortcuts. It reopens closed tabs, so if you accidentally close a tab-this will reopen it. And you can keep ctrl+shift+t-ing and it will keep opening previously closed tabs.
That is amazing!
Hope you're doing better today. Glad to see the video. There were some shortcuts i did not know about. You improve my knowledge 1 video at a time!
I knew all of these prior to the video, but I did recently learn about the Win + V Clipboard earlier this week thanks to Twitter. So I guess that counts for something.
Congratulations, you are a Windows 10 Ultra Super Power User. The Linux kids are mad at you right now 😉
1:21 Even better (I think) is to middle click the tab to close it. I've mapped middle click to "3 tap" on my laptop and use it all the time.
Middle click also opens link in new tab, super handy.
All the shortcuts you have mentioned are very helpful. Your presentation was hilarious. I knew few of them before. Please bring more videos on shortcuts.
one other quick tip for the Alt+F4 command (or Fn+Alt+F4 if your laptop's function keys default to the other option that is on the function which you can choose to enable that or not in your laptop's BIOS) that if you're on the desktop you can press it to open up a dialogue box to allow you to shut down, hibernate (if you have that enabled which I hope you don't because it's kinda dumb for the newer PCs), sleep, or restart in a dropdown box. nice little way to shut down if you don't feel like going to the start menu and hitting the power options button and hitting one that you want. that ability has been in windows forever.
Barnacules is back! Been a fan of the channel for several years now and it’s great to see him posting videos. Good job Barnacules welcome back to RUclips.
I don't think anyone has mentioned it in the comments, but clicking with the mouse wheel allows you to close tabs in many tab-navigation programs, just like Ctrl+F4! I use this all the time ^^
Thank you. Snipping a part of the screen to sending it to someone came in really handy tonight.
Thank you so much for this video, I never knew about the clipboard 👌. Also, the move to another screen was so useful. I hope you, your family, and all who read this are safe. Stay Strong 😁
This is the type of content I missed from you. Glad it's back 👍😁.
Keep up the amazing work my friend.
Didn't know that Ctrl+F4 exists but Ctrl+W is easier to use for me. Some additional ones: Ctrl+N - new window, Ctrl+Shift+W - close all tabs at once, Ctrl+T - new tab, Ctrl+Shift+T -- return closed tab. ALso Ctrl+Y - opposite of Ctrl+Z. For text edditing also extremely useful: Shift+arrows - select by single letters or cursor position within rows, Shift+Home or +End - select entire row and Ctrl+Home or +End - go to beginning or end from current position (with Shift also selects).
I use _ctrl + shift + N_ to create new folders... even when saving something, which makes it super quick to organize. While at organizing, i also use _F2_ to rename files and _ctrl + A_ to select all. Another useful shortcut, usually when i want to find a file in file manager or a country in a dropdown menu or a taks in the task manager, _just press a letter on the keyboard_ and it will only cycle through the items that start with that letter. Also one i use is in alt + tab view, press _alt + shift + tab_ to go backwards through the alt tab menu, it helps when you have a ton of windows open.
Wow, CTRL+Z !
Once upon a time I was working on my desk so concentrated, I reached with my right hand to my coffee but I knocked a pencil to the floor so I immediately with my left hand pressed CTRL+Z, but the pencil didn't undo it's fall.
I will never forget that stupid moment 😅
Hahahahaha 😂 I blame Microsoft 🤔
I like control+shift+t to bring tabs back. Not sure if it's a chrome only shortcut but it's so useful in saving tabs if you accidentally close them
been using virtual desktops for the longest time and it's really useful when you want to separate personal stuff from work stuff.
I know about virtual desktops and use them all the time! Sadly I only found out about them when I moved to Windows 10. Though I expect that's when a lot of people started using them. Along with being handy for organization, they are another useful feature for when you want things open that you might want to quickly hide since you can use Ctrl+Win+Left/Right, as you mentioned. This has the added benefit of allowing you to have other programs, or a blank desktop, quickly available so you can work on other things unfettered if the situation calls for it.
Another nice feature with virtual desktops is that you can transfer windows between them by simply hitting Win+Tab, then dragging any window over a different desktop across the top! You can also have specific windows or programs that show up across all desktops by hitting Win+Tab and right-clicking on any window. This will give you a menu to close, snap left or right, but most importantly to show either this one window, or all windows from this app, on all desktops. Super handy when you have something like... a browser or code editor that you use all the time but like using virtual desktops to organize other windows for specific purposes.
One of my favourite shortcuts that wasn't mentioned is Ctrl+W. Since it closes tabs in tabbed windows, but also closes some windows (Explorer being the one I use it on most commonly) and is easy to hit, it's become a very common one for me. I notice this one is mentioned in another comment. And yes, it's not nearly as consistent for closing windows (mostly used for closing tabs) but I also find it is nice for that reason. It seems to most commonly work on programs that are used more disposably (again, thinking of Explorer) that I'm always opening and closing, while not accidentally closing a lot of windows that are more permanent. All about preferences and use cases, I suppose.
Three of my most used shortcuts are ctrl + shift + n to directly create a folder without using a mouse, F2 to directly rename a folder or a file and ctrl + return to directly open the file propreties of the file.
I thought this was gonna be a boring video but turned out to be quite useful. Thanks!
This video was great, I knew quite a few but definitely learnt some new ones. Also, the way it was filmed & edited was spot on. Thanks!
Awesome recap!
My favorite hotkey is the virtual desktop switch : WIN + CTRL + LEFT, RIGHT
Missing feature : desktop icons to be unique to each virtual desktop
Bug : I don't pin apps on the taskbar, I use multiple toolbars (like quicklaunch default) to group app launch icons. When I switch between virtual desktop the open apps are re-ordered by alphabetical name it seems. Quite annoying.
Shift + right click is handy for adding extra options to the right-click menu, like open command prompt/Powershell window in that folder, expanding the Send to menu, and Copy as path if you shift right click on an item in that folder.
That is a great one 👍🏻
Thanks Jerry i really enjoyed that video. Always looking to speed up my productivity!
1:40, can also be rebound to the print screen key , i use it all the time, didnt know ctrl + F4 1 min in and ive already learned something, good to see you back Jerry!
Holy crap the virtual desktop has literally changed how I use my desktop for work and study. My dual monitor setup literally became a 4 (potentially more) screen setup basically. Thank you for the tip!
omg, miss your videos, Barn!!!! So good to see you back!
I truly appreciate this video and would live to see another one with more shortcuts. Some of us if not most are not computer savvy.
I am watching this for the 3rd time and writing all the short cuts down - ( CTRL+Z) i did not know - great video Baracules - Cheers (UK)
New user. I knew a few at most. Definitely appreciate this one.
