Does anyone else double click the top left corner of a window to close it?

I do, or I use Alt Space X

 

[tfinch2]

I right click on the task bar and close it.

Anybody use Win-M to minimize all the windows?
Win-R to run? (I use that to open notepad or cmd all the time!)
Win-E to open My Computer?
Win-F to find files?

(I use all of those. I don't care for the mouse.)

Win-E to open My Computer?

:Q
:thumbsup:

Yeah, all the time. Ever noticed if you right click on the top left corner (icon) in IE you get a special menu?

Does anyone use ctrl+arrows to scroll word-by-word across text? Ctrl+backspace is nice for deleting the last word.

I didn't know about ctrl-backspace, but I frequently use ctrl-shift-arrow for selecting words or large gaps of spaces. I always use the ctrl-home and ctrl-end keys too to go to the beginning and end of a document/textbox.

Anybody here use Shift-Delete for cutting and Shift-Insert for pasting? Now THAT'S totally old-school. (Wordstar?)

(I started with a Commodore CBM and then got an IBM XT, and with various hardware changes moved my way up through DOS 3.3, DOS 5, DOS 6.22, Win 3.1, Win 95, Win 2000, and now Win XPH.)

Does anyone use the / key to search in Firefox? (It's a habit from vi/vim.) How about Ctrl-L to get to the address bar?

I use Win+D to show the desktop (minimizes all windows)
I use Win+R too. I use "run" alot for notepad, calc, mspaint, msconfig, etc..

I use '/' frequently, but not usually Ctrl+L (I had forgotten about it).

For window operations, I usually use Alt+Space+(x,n,r,c,m). I double click the caption bar more often than I use the size operators, on the right. To minimize, I occasionally click its entry on the task bar. I rarely double click the left-hand icon on the title bar, and sometimes use the 'X' on the right to close the window. <shrug>

Ditto here. In fact, I use the Space bar method the most. I don't know why, but I think that's the fastest method around.

 

[clamum]

Yeah, I do on occasion.

 

[Sukhoi]

I didn't know you could do almost any of these things.

 

[lyssword]

You tricked me! you made me close ATOT
