I Am A Computer God

[Ben90]

I just found a reasonable use for the menu key. Bow down as I fix my music's meta data at extreme speeds.Only took 4-5 shots and 22 years to figure it out.

When you master the Pause/Break key, give me a holler...n00b.

n00b

Some days, I use it hundreds of times. Combine with accessibility keys for more WIN. (you better not leave Windows configured to hide the underlined letters)

You use keys? A computer god has a psychic connection and has no need for primitive input devices.

 

[Ichinisan]

If it's Windows and you have one hand on the keyboard and one on the mouse, you can right-click and tap R with your left hand (assuming you use right-hand mouse). Both hands on the keyboard? [Menu],R or [Alt]+[Enter].

Can't think of anything I would use that for, except I do use Scroll Lock religiously on a 10keyless board.

Ctrl+PauseBreak will show stats during a continuous ping test, without interrupting the test.

Strangely, Ctrl+ScrollLock does the same thing.

I also use [Win]+PauseBreak to bring up the System Properties screen.

I knew about windows + pause, but Ctrl+ScrollLock with a -t ping is actually pretty useful. Thanks for sharing.

I think I had people at my old job convinced I was a god. Problems disappeared just by my presence in the room. Sometimes I had to actually run the mouse, but usually being in the room was enough :^D

The one on the right.

Usually simulates a right-click on whichever screen item has keyboard focus.

Yup...another one that I use repeatedly, throughout the work day.

 

[FoBoT]

oh you mean Ctrl+Shift+F10

 

[Fritzo]

I "Windows Key+M"ed this conversation.

All computer experts press "Alt + F4" immediately!

or...you know...F5

Win+D is better some times.

I Ctrl+F4'd it (Ctrl+W for you non-Windows peepz).

 

[Ichinisan]

or...you know...F5

F5 refreshes. It does not display Properties for the highlighted file / item.

OP was "editing metadata on music files," so I assume he was bringing-up file properties.

Menu key, what menu key? You got a Mac or something?

That always takes me to the desktop, I use it a lot. AFAIK that's all it does.

Yeah, put that on your resume.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Hold Windows key + e for about 10 seconds. Awesome things happen.

Win+D works better. Pressing again restores everything.

"Computer God" would look awesome on a resume or in your AD title.
