Are you a keyboard shortcut whore?

[Rip the Jacker]

Tab Enter

F5

Ctrl+Tab

Alt Tab

Ctrl Tab

Windows Key + D

 

[UILanMan]

Definitely

Ctrl Shift Esc

All the Windows key combos.. E, R, L, Pause, M, to name a few)

Ctrl Escape (great if you have no mouse)

Alt-Space-M, hold down left arrow, enter (Sad, use this for moving windows if you're remotely viewing a machine with 2 or more displays).

Alt-space-N (oops, someone coming - that or Windows-M

So many more.. even worse, I'm a command line junkie. Fun fun!

[E equals MC2]

Some basics....

Ctrl + Z for undo in most programs
Ctrl + A for select all
Windows Key + D = Show desktop instantly. Very convenient!
F5
Alt + Tab and Alt Shift + Tab for jumping between windows.

[Rip the Jacker]

Anyone know if theres shortcuts for firefox bookmarked tabs?

 

[AnonymouseUser]

Absolutely

 

[ColdFusion718]

- Alt, space, M (press any arrow key), now move active window using mouse = helpful for windows that went off the screen.
- Alt, V, D = view current folder with details
- Alt, space, N = minimize current window
- Alt, space, X = maximize current window
- Alt, space, R = restore current window to previous size
- Ctrl + Shift + ESC = task manager (win2k, winXP)

and many others I can't remember off the top of my head (I'm using a mac right now so PC mode is turned off in my brain)

 

[Powermoloch]

wow...this thread is very informational

 

[Mrvile]

I use:

Alt+Tab
Ctrl+B/I/U
Ctrl+Alt+Del
Ctrl+S/O/N

That's about it.

 

[drum]

so many. ctrl enter for urls is my fav

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

Definitely. I'm surprised more people don't take the time to learn it (since most of the shortcuts have remained the same back from Win95).
I launch a majority of my apps in a couple of keystrokes. It's gotten to the point where I can't stand people moving the mouse cursor and clicking

 

[booger711]

IN FIREFOX:
ctrl + l = go to location bar
ctrl + k = go to search bar

 

[secretanchitman]

too many to list.

 

[InlineFour]

only alt f4.

 

[eelw]

Windows key + Pause/Break to open up System Properties

 

[paulw86]

yes

 

[puffff]

Here something I do (for internet explorer):

when you type a url into that address field, it gets saved into that drop down thing. It gets annoying after a while to have a dozens of urls in that dropdown. I mean, people use my computer sometimes, and yes, I do visit the occasional pr0n site. I don't want people possibly clicking there and finding out where I've been.

So i've developed a habit of hitting ctrl-o and typing the address there. Works just like the address bar, except it doesnt save. Convenient!
