Win+Home seems *very* useful — thank you!

jenmsft.bsky.social•154 days ago

You're welcome 😊

I just grab the window I want open and shake it vigorously! 😂

I’m late to find out that you were doing this, but this is my new favorite thing. Thanks!

jenmsft.bsky.social•154 days ago

I'm glad you like it! It's so hard to pick which shortcut to highlight haha

platespinner.craves.coffee•154 days ago

I only recently stopped trying to grab and wiggle a window to make all the others minimize. Sometimes I learn slowly. 🫠

jenmsft.bsky.social•154 days ago

You can still do that if you want too! You just have to enable it in settings (assuming you're on 11)

I wish Bluesky would let me save posts like Threads does. (I’ve deactivated my Threads account.) On the other hand, https://deck.blue has a column for skeets I’ve liked!

That's a new one for me! Going to find that useful.

Ooooh, new secret unlocked!

I love those shortcuts. You should publish a blog or GitHub page with all of them. I’d be happy to contribute

Win+Home - Didn't know. Thx!

gargaj.umlaut.hu•154 days ago

Okay that's one I definitely pressed before and had no idea what it actually did, and probably didn't bother to investigate to find out, thanks :D

jenmsft.bsky.social•154 days ago

Wait, what about WIN + M? Personally, I prefer WIN + D. If you're interested in the difference, though: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20040527-00/?p=39153

I like Win+M better, but mainly because Win+Shift+M will restore the windows I just minimized. Though you can switch from Win+D to Win+Shift+M.

jenmsft.bsky.social•154 days ago

If you do WIN + D after doing WIN + D it will also restore the windows

nitsuj116.bsky.social•154 days ago

Ah, even better thanks.

jenmsft.bsky.social•154 days ago

WIN + Home is basically like aero shake, which is a feature I am also fond of. It still exists in Windows 11 btw - you just need to enable it if you want it in settings (under multitasking)

bluewall.me•154 days ago

I use the bottom right edge 😇

I didn't know about the WIN + D shortcut, so with the WIN + HOME shortcut I learned two new keyboard shortcuts at once! Thanks!
