For us “old timers” ctrl-s was something you pressed every couple of minutes out of habit, cause Windows tended to just randomly crap out once in a while. This usually invoked ctrl-alt-delete.
Not so common and rarely needed, but still helpful: WIndows+Ctrl+Shift+B will force restart your graphics driver, this way you can solve some display issues.
Maybe worth mentioning, for Win+D to hide/show all your desktop windows, if you don't want to use the shortcut there's also the method of clicking the bottom-right of your screen (in the tiny vertical bar at the edge of your taskbar), which does the same thing without having to minimize each window on its own.

@@HerbMartin52 yea sharex is much better, i have mine set to upload to imgur and send it to my discord server so i have access to the screenshot on any device
ctrl + shift + arrow key, to extend your text selection by whole words instead of just single letters. Use that one more frequently than shift+arrow key
For mac and stuff, you can use option for single words and cmd for the rest of the line, option + shift + up/down selects the paragraph, cmd + shift + up/down selects everything from that point
The "emoji" menu shortcut is win+. (win + dot) for me. If in Office, pressing ctrl+F makes the text bold, because of language settings, so if you're using a non-English version of Windows/Office and wonder why some of the shortcuts don't work, it could be because some of them are different depending on language and keyboard layout/settings. :)

Or just using "ctrl + →" to navigate between the words. Late to the video but posting this in case it helps out lol.
One of my favs here. The base of my left little finger is always resting on the ctrl key 'cause I use it so much. I try to use the mouse as little as possible.

MMB+inactive tab closes it without opening it. Stealth closing tabs can be useful from time to time. In most browsers you can specify, that "open in new tab" happens in the background. So if you want to open many tabs from one page, but don't want to click back to the original tab after every MMB click, it's worth to look into those options
You can also middle mouse click to close a tab. Middle mouse clicking on a program on the start/taskbar will open a new instance of it (like new browser window)
Here's one for those using a mouse: middle click. Middle click has 3 efficient functions on browsers - you can middle click a tab to close it, middle click a link to open it in a new tab, and middle click on a scrollable page to scroll faster.

I'm nearly 70, have been playing with computers since the C64. I knew a lot of these, but the ones I didn't look super useful as I am still driving a desktop at work. e.g I've been pasting HTML and other shit to Notepad to strip formatting, so that one alone is great. ( I hate people who paste Pictures of text you cant copy from.) I will replay this vid and document these tips later. (I wish my memory was as good as when I was young!)
@Just For Fun The background of my profile pic was made by a fractal prog I wrote in Basic on the C64. Same pic is now on the home screen of my Samsung Galaxy cellphone. Some things we just can't forget!
You can do that in your browser if you use "Developer tools" and delete all the invisible layers that block you from clicking the picture. Play with it for a bit, you'll figure it out.
I have a few more: - Pressing Alt + Space opens up a window's context menu. - You can use Control + Insert as an alternative for Copy and Shift + Insert for Paste. - Not many people know this one but you can move your windows with the arrow keys after holding the title bar for a second or so. This moves them in steps of 10 pixels, or if you want to have them perfectly aligned, use Control + Arrow keys for steps of 1 pixel. Also works when resizing windows, even if invoked from the title bar's context menu. Also yes, I watched until the end but for some reason my emoji panel is broken :v
Thanks for the Ctrl+Insert / Shift+Insert as alternative to Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V for Copy/Paste. I always use Shift+Delete to CUT, then Shift+Insert to PASTE (which is faster as you already have your finger on the Shift key when selecting text with arrows), but I totally overlooked the Ctrl+Insert to COPY, after all these years....
Also 🍿🍿 fall into the elite category -- I didn't learn a single new one until Win+P, but I guess that's probably because I've been following your channel for so long! =D
Here are also some that i use nearly every day and did not notice in the video: Win + Pause/Break opens up the good old System menu Ctrl + Tab in browsers mostly switches between tabs forwards Ctrl + Shift + Tab in browsers mostly switches between tabs backwards Ctrl + Shift + R in browsers acts much like Ctrl + F5 (refresh ignoring the cache) Win + M for minimize Win + Space bar to toggles between different languages (If you hold it would display the languages) Ctrl + Home in text processors / browsers bring you back to top of the page Ctrl + End in text processors / browsers bring you back to bottom of the page Ctrl + Shift + Home/End does the same as above but also selecting everything between current and top/bottom Same combinations with page up/down would behave similarly Also when using windows menu-search if you press Ctrl + Enter on selected application it would start with administrative privileges (User Account Control Prompt if enabled)
Favourite thing learned recently: Pressing tab while renaming a file, will save changes, then rename the next file. Saves going Enter -> Down -> F2 for every file.
Wooooah - great piece of info!!! Also, He mentioned Win + D to show the desktop, but you can also minimize all windows to show the desktop with Win+M, or by mousing the cursour to the bottom right of the screen all the way in the corner and clicking, which is what I use a lot.👌
In general pressing tab in a text field will save what you have in the current text box and jump you to the next one. Absolutely invaluable when filling out online forms such as mailing or billing information. I've saved so much time not having to click on every single text field in a large form.
Great shortcuts! I think I learnt at least two new ones! Mainly win+V and the shift+win+s, they'll come in handy! Even after all this time using computers and such, there is always more to learn. One of the ones I've been using a lot recently (and is only really useful if you have a second monitor) is Windows key + Shift + Left arrow or Right arrow: Move selected window to the left or right monitor. This is so helpful because I have a graphics tablet with a display on it, and I have it plugged in but not always on, and some times the window will get opened up on that display, so instead of having to pull out the tablet turn it on and drag it across, that one shortcut saves lots of time!
The [tab] key is overlooked frequently. It is for selecting the next in the list or completing the entry. Example 1: when you have to rename several files in a sequence, [F2] to rename the first file, once you've edited the name, instead of hitting [Enter}, hit [tab] and it will finish the rename on the first file and open the second file name for renaming. Example 2: when typing and autofill suggests the completed word or phrase, hit [tab] to accept the autofill suggestion and continue typing. When using for Excel formulas, [tab] leaves you in the edit process whereas [Enter] ends the edit process and errors our because the autofill (and formula) aren't complete.
In Word, using the F8 function to extend the usefulness of selecting, including ctrl-shft-F8 to select text blocks. Surprised so few know about F8 in Word.
I miss more Text Caret Keyboard shortcuts, they have all been around for centureis (Yep I'm talking about late DOS days and not just M$ Word). Loads of people uses their mouse way too mutch, thus making them fidle around more than needed. Since you are showing both global and local keyboard shortcuts, you should explain the difference, since local shortcuts only exists if the programmer decides to activate them and/or make them (if they are not defined). Oh and the good old Shift+Del, Ctrl+Ins, Shift+Ins is actually the original Cut Copy and Paste commands, rather than Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V And not to mention that Shift+F10 brings up a local menu (making the local menu key completely useseless, some keyboard has replaced this with the FN key, similar to the FN key on laptops). Since you are mentioning Tab - Keyboard Shortcuts, [Ctrl+F4] closes tabs, [Ctrl+Tab]/[Shift+Ctrl+Tab F6]/[Shift+F6] switches between, I write this because, this is the original Keyboard Shortcuts, thus making some programs to onlys responce to thoose shortcuts ;) I know I'm an old timer, but I looooooooooooooove Keyboard Shortcuts :D Maybe a link to a site with categorized keyboard shortcut descriptions ;)
What i learned: ctrl + F5 F2 win + arrows win + shift + s win + p win + o win + i win + ; Its 1:15 AM and I'm a mac user... What am I doing with my life?
20 years in IT, and I actually learned something from this...funny. I accidentally discovered the emoji interface just last week...neat...but several of these will be darn handy.
I'm an elite viewer who watched until the end, too. 👍I have another example if you cut and paste into a document, use Control +X for cut and Control +V to paste, which I think the viewers knew about past commands. Windows Key+K is to cast.
Ctrl Shift V 1:35 After all those years we have finally found each other. My entire life was just a journey to you. I don't think there is such a thing as love at first sight between humans, but if this between me and shortcut wasn't that, I don't what it is.
For all the Programmers,the shortcuts he missed are: Shift+End(for those that have that key) :select from cursor to end of line Shift+Home:select from cursor to start of line Shift+Ctrl+End : select from cursor to end of file Shift+Ctrl+Home:select from cursor to start of file Visual Studio Specific Shortcuts: Alt+ArrowUp:move selection to above line Alt+ArrowDown:move selection to belowline
More VSCode shortcuts: Ctrl+space to show variable name autocomplete suggestions Ctrl+/ to comment/uncomment a line Ctrl+] to indent once (move to the right) Ctrl+[ to de-indent once (move to the left) Ctrl+. to view suggestions on fixing anything with red squiggles underneath it You can also highlight the whole section of code you want in brackets and then type the opening bracket to put one before and one after your selection - works for single quotes, double quotes, backticks, round brackets, square brackets, and curly brackets!
A couple more: Ctrl+L brings your cursor to the web browser address bar. Good for quickly inputting a google search. Also works in file explorer and probably most programs that have similar thing. It even worked in LoL to search the shop (at least at the time when I used to play it) Alt+Left/Right moves to previous/next page you've been on. Alt+Up in files explorer brings you a level up Alt+F4 on desktop brings up a shutdown menu on windows. I don't remember when was the last time I've turned off my PC the regular way.
@6:30 I would like to add another text selection shortcut which I use very frequently - CTRL+SHIFT+ to select texts word by word (instead of just letters by letters) Another shortcut for elite users - Windows+C - which brings up Cortana ✌
I like a lot the content u prepare and algo u make me feel smart! Your pronunciation is so clear that I understand each word! Greetings from Buenos Aires!. By the way, the emoji panel is fantastic!
While typing 'Backspace' removes a single character but you can use 'Ctrl + Backspace' to remove a complete previous word or similarly 'Ctrl + Delete' to remove the next complete word. And you can take snapshots easily by just pressing 'PrtScr' (PrintScreen) as now it directly allows you to crop and save a snapshot. And key for emoji you can use both Windows + . and WIndows + ;
What about Ctrl+alt+del, start(win)+s, ctrl+f, ctrl+shift+s, alt+enter, alt+(drag and drop), start+h, start+k, alt+selecting text with mouse and f12 for browsers Ctrl+alt+del was for task manager long time ago, but on windows 10 that is to open one menu with restart, task manager, switch user, change password start+s is for opening well known search bar ctrl+f is find (I forgot did you put it in the video or not, I aplogize for that) ctrl+shift+s is save as alt+enter is to full screen cmd/powershell or to open properties window on icon you click alt+drag and drop is to create a shortcut of apps, folders documents and more First you choose any icon you want Then press alt and hold it, then drag your icon and drop it anywhere you want then it will create a shortcut start+h is for msword so you can speak on your microphone and it will write text start+k is to open devices window to connect And alt+select is to select specific words without chosing whole line Also I already knew all of these shortcuts you told us. Anyways thank you for reading my comment and thank you for teaching people who know less about computers. Knowledge is for everyone. On web browsers if you press f12 you open inspect element
You also forgot the Ctrl+W. It closes only one tab that you are on and not all of it like the Alt+f4 shortcut. The other one is the Ctrl+/num/ (depends on the number of tabs that exist in your web browser). If you use this shortcut, it will bring you to your desired tab. For instance, if you use Ctrl+4, it will bring you to the fourth tab in your browser.
One of the best Features on Windows 10 is windows key and H it allows you to use the microphone to type instead of the keyboard on pc kinda insane, I'm actually using the speech right now to comment on this video haha lol
Some shortcuts I find quite usefull too : Shift+right click in a folder in explorer = Gives you an option to open this folder in powershell (only in user mode but still !) Again in explorer : ctrl + h = Show hidden files
In MSWord, placing the cursor in any text and using [Alt-Shift-Up or Dn Arrow] will move the paragraph of text up or down the page allowing one to relocate text before or after other paragraphs. This also works within tables where one wishes to re-order one or more rows (selecting multiple rows is easy with the mouse), but beware, moving a block(s) of text into a table causes unusual behaviour as does moving a row(s) within a table to a location outside the table boundary.
3:13 in some cases the second shift+click right after a ctrl+click will undo the first shift+click (i noticed it on thunderbird) you can get around this by using ctrl+shift+click the second time you want to do the shift+click 6:18 you can combine that, again, with ctrl. just shift+sidearrow will select one character at a time, but if you're holding ctrl at the same time it'll jump whole words at a time. 8:36 just save yourself the hassle and use sharex. yes it's a program you have to install but it's _incredibly_ useful and much more practical and efficient than that. i'd even say it's almost mandatory to have.
@@MasterBroNetwork the hassle of having limited functionality, or having more work to do the same. sharex automatically uploads the image online and stores the link in your clipboard.
I use ctrl+F4 instead of ctrl+w (does the same). Also works in Office (Word & Excel) to close a document. Makes sense that alt+F4 closes the application or browser while ctrl+F4 closes just one document or tab.
One of the ones I often use is win+alt+b. It toggles HDR for your display, which is handy if you have some software that bugs with HDR and want to toggle it quickly.
For anyone using multiple screens, but not always having all turned on Win + Shift + Arrows will move the active window to the adjacent screen in that direction. So this is an easy way to get a window back if you moved it off screen, or if its last position was on a screen you have turned off at the moment.

Here's one for those using a mouse: middle click. Middle click has 3 efficient functions on browsers - you can middle click a tab to close it, middle click a link to open it in a new tab, and middle click on a scrollable page to scroll faster.
Holding control has better functionality. I used to middle click but it didn't work on as many things as holding control.
"a lot of keyboard shortcuts on windows you dont know"
*shows a macbook*
LOL
Ha! Whos moron now
gotta admit, the emoji shortcut had me impressed. not that i use them that often, but it's good to know about at least
Win+.
The title of this video is the reason I watched it. I'm glad I did. Thank you for all of the great information! 👏👏
Me: Doesn't know all the basic shortcuts
Also me: Knows all the advanced shortcuts
Kinda the same 😆
He’s a little confused, but he’s got the spirit
Me: Knows all Keyboard shortcuts
Also me: Seeming fails to know how to actually use them properly
Luc: ..............................
literally nobody: .....................................
Been there, done that. Slowly healing tho.
Me: knows absolutely all of these and more
Also me: uses all shortcuts masterfully
Also me: right clicks > copy and right clicks > paste
I'm nearly 70, have been playing with computers since the C64. I knew a lot of these, but the ones I didn't look super useful as I am still driving a desktop at work. e.g I've been pasting HTML and other shit to Notepad to strip formatting, so that one alone is great. ( I hate people who paste Pictures of text you cant copy from.) I will replay this vid and document these tips later. (I wish my memory was as good as when I was young!)
@Just For Fun The background of my profile pic was made by a fractal prog I wrote in Basic on the C64. Same pic is now on the home screen of my Samsung Galaxy cellphone. Some things we just can't forget!
Exactly the same here except I started in DOS
Why are you copy/pasting HTML? And from where? If I were you, I'd just use Lynx if all you're doing is trying to view/copy HTML.
You can do that in your browser if you use "Developer tools" and delete all the invisible layers that block you from clicking the picture. Play with it for a bit, you'll figure it out.
I have a few more:
- Pressing Alt + Space opens up a window's context menu.
- You can use Control + Insert as an alternative for Copy and Shift + Insert for Paste.
- Not many people know this one but you can move your windows with the arrow keys after holding the title bar for a second or so. This moves them in steps of 10 pixels, or if you want to have them perfectly aligned, use Control + Arrow keys for steps of 1 pixel. Also works when resizing windows, even if invoked from the title bar's context menu.
Also yes, I watched until the end but for some reason my emoji panel is broken :v
Or I use Alt-Shift, then C to quickly close ANY window/field type. Ctr-W closes many window types too, but the first technique is pretty universal.
Thanks for the Ctrl+Insert / Shift+Insert as alternative to Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V for Copy/Paste. I always use Shift+Delete to CUT, then Shift+Insert to PASTE (which is faster as you already have your finger on the Shift key when selecting text with arrows), but I totally overlooked the Ctrl+Insert to COPY, after all these years....
Try Windows key and period for the emoji panel
i'm Proud to say that i'm an elite viewer who watched till the end 😁😁😁😁,Thank you joe(Literally i feel like i control windows with my keyboard now😂
Alt+F4 gives you diamonds and optimises Minecraft! Like, who doesn't know this?!

YEAH RIGHT? OMFG! I JUST TRIED IT AND IT WORKS! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TELLING ME!

It force closes the game, so *L I E*
Browsers:
Ctrl + '+' : Zoom in
Ctrl + '-' : Zoom out
Ctrl + '0' : Restore default (100%) zoom level
These should work in most web browsers.
Ty
I hold down scroll wheel and press control to zoom in and out
Control + mouse wheel is faster
I knew a lot of these and still learned a few more. Thanks man 😎
Also 🍿🍿 fall into the elite category -- I didn't learn a single new one until Win+P, but I guess that's probably because I've been following your channel for so long! =D
Ctr+W - definatly most frequently shortcut used by me.
haha
that would jeopardize the entire effort of this youtuber
Yea me2 I use it often but not to often its good if u want to close windows or tabs whatever u guys call them
what does it do?
@@jermi1181 i wanted to see what would happen and i did it and my yt tab closed :/
Here are also some that i use nearly every day and did not notice in the video:
Win + Pause/Break opens up the good old System menu
Ctrl + Tab in browsers mostly switches between tabs forwards
Ctrl + Shift + Tab in browsers mostly switches between tabs backwards
Ctrl + Shift + R in browsers acts much like Ctrl + F5 (refresh ignoring the cache)
Win + M for minimize
Win + Space bar to toggles between different languages (If you hold it would display the languages)
Ctrl + Home in text processors / browsers bring you back to top of the page
Ctrl + End in text processors / browsers bring you back to bottom of the page
Ctrl + Shift + Home/End does the same as above but also selecting everything between current and top/bottom
Same combinations with page up/down would behave similarly
Also when using windows menu-search if you press Ctrl + Enter on selected application it would start with administrative privileges (User Account Control Prompt if enabled)
@creeper660 Yes it was, however Ctrl + Shift + R was not
My favorite:
CTRL+WIN KEY+ALT+X does absolutely nothing..
Favourite thing learned recently:
Pressing tab while renaming a file, will save changes, then rename the next file.
Saves going Enter -> Down -> F2 for every file.
great thank you very much! This will also save precious seconds of my life!
I wish I knew this 20 years ago, it would have saved me probably a whole week of my life.
Wooooah - great piece of info!!! Also, He mentioned Win + D to show the desktop, but you can also minimize all windows to show the desktop with Win+M, or by mousing the cursour to the bottom right of the screen all the way in the corner and clicking, which is what I use a lot.👌
This is great, really useful. Thank you PotatoHandle
In general pressing tab in a text field will save what you have in the current text box and jump you to the next one. Absolutely invaluable when filling out online forms such as mailing or billing information. I've saved so much time not having to click on every single text field in a large form.
Only found two of them useful, but those were real eye-openers. Thanks you
Great shortcuts! I think I learnt at least two new ones! Mainly win+V and the shift+win+s, they'll come in handy! Even after all this time using computers and such, there is always more to learn. One of the ones I've been using a lot recently (and is only really useful if you have a second monitor) is Windows key + Shift + Left arrow or Right arrow: Move selected window to the left or right monitor. This is so helpful because I have a graphics tablet with a display on it, and I have it plugged in but not always on, and some times the window will get opened up on that display, so instead of having to pull out the tablet turn it on and drag it across, that one shortcut saves lots of time!
Let me know what you think of the thumbnail I put a lot of extra time into this one
It looks like you worked hard on the thumbnail and it shows -- impressive
Wait, how did you join your own channel membership?
Looks like Pro
🤔🤔 the thumbnail is ok thio joe mama. 😅👋🏼👊🏻😊
ThioJoe my favorite part is where the apple taskbar icons are exxxxtra squished. 😎👌
The [tab] key is overlooked frequently. It is for selecting the next in the list or completing the entry. Example 1: when you have to rename several files in a sequence, [F2] to rename the first file, once you've edited the name, instead of hitting [Enter}, hit [tab] and it will finish the rename on the first file and open the second file name for renaming. Example 2: when typing and autofill suggests the completed word or phrase, hit [tab] to accept the autofill suggestion and continue typing. When using for Excel formulas, [tab] leaves you in the edit process whereas [Enter] ends the edit process and errors our because the autofill (and formula) aren't complete.
Also super useful when you mouse drivers decide to die lol
In Word, using the F8 function to extend the usefulness of selecting, including ctrl-shft-F8 to select text blocks. Surprised so few know about F8 in Word.
I am an elite viewer who watched till the end, and I must say the last shortcut is the most useful (that I didn't know before), great job 😊👍👏
I'm an elite viewer who watched to the end and has already forgotten the first half. 🤔

I took notes in notepad!
Pfff I forgot the second part too...

He forgot the most juicy one: Ctrl + Shift + arrow left/right: Selects all characters up to the next white-space character (aka a word).
He did show it ._.
You can also use shift+page down for selecting REALLY large chunks of text.
@@jesus_RS no he didn't...
@@PeterNjeim yes, he did.
@@jesus_RS I watched it twice, he did not. He only mentioned shift+arrow keys, not ctrl+shift+arrow keys

Dude he's joking don't feel bad :)
snagit
Well you can have the last laugh. Alt+PrSc = screenshot active window only.
it's not even a function key
I miss more Text Caret Keyboard shortcuts, they have all been around for centureis (Yep I'm talking about late DOS days and not just M$ Word).
Loads of people uses their mouse way too mutch, thus making them fidle around more than needed.
Since you are showing both global and local keyboard shortcuts, you should explain the difference, since local shortcuts only exists if the programmer decides to activate them and/or make them (if they are not defined).
Oh and the good old Shift+Del, Ctrl+Ins, Shift+Ins is actually the original Cut Copy and Paste commands, rather than Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V
And not to mention that Shift+F10 brings up a local menu (making the local menu key completely useseless, some keyboard has replaced this with the FN key, similar to the FN key on laptops).
Since you are mentioning Tab - Keyboard Shortcuts, [Ctrl+F4] closes tabs, [Ctrl+Tab]/[Shift+Ctrl+Tab F6]/[Shift+F6] switches between, I write this because, this is the original Keyboard Shortcuts, thus making some programs to onlys responce to thoose shortcuts ;)
I know I'm an old timer, but I looooooooooooooove Keyboard Shortcuts :D
Maybe a link to a site with categorized keyboard shortcut descriptions ;)
In addition to Windows Key + Arrow, there is the Windows + Shift + Left or Right Arrow; to move apps between dual monitors.
What i learned:
ctrl + F5
F2
win + arrows
win + shift + s
win + p
win + o
win + i
win + ;
Its 1:15 AM and I'm a mac user... What am I doing with my life?
Your destiny is calling. Upgrade to windows
Not all browsers respect Ctrl+F5 anymore.
✨the more you know✨
It's 2020 and you're a mac user.. What are you doing with your life?
3:04 ha I beat u
20 years in IT, and I actually learned something from this...funny. I accidentally discovered the emoji interface just last week...neat...but several of these will be darn handy.
I knew it by right clicking a message :/
I'm an elite viewer who watched until the end, too. 👍I have another example if you cut and paste into a document, use Control +X for cut and Control +V to paste, which I think the viewers knew about past commands. Windows Key+K is to cast.
Ctrl + Shift + V the shortcut I spent my whole life looking for
Yea, I think this one really hit home run for many ppl, including myself
Ctrl Shift V 1:35 After all those years we have finally found each other. My entire life was just a journey to you. I don't think there is such a thing as love at first sight between humans, but if this between me and shortcut wasn't that, I don't what it is.
As a Tech Writer, I absolutely appreciate your time and effort in producing this video--thanks!
Thanks, man! didn't know many of those shortcuts. watched till the end✔
*Me: Testing ctrl+z/y, Thio Joe shows for alt+f4 : ME PRESSED ALT+F4*
ctrl+W
Ok, someone needs to make up a good “cheat-sheet” for us all to print out........please.
Keep in mind, these are just shortcuts. If you have to stop and look them up, they probably aren't saving you any time. 🙄
@@steveholman5978 Ctrl+Shift+V instead of Ctrl+V is actually a life changer if you're pasting something into let's say an email!
@@steveholman5978 Yes but like with anything, use it enough times and it becomes memorable.
Ctrl + P
Ross in Ontario: LOL-I agree. I had to go tip by tip stopping with each one to type out my own cheat sheet.
For all the Programmers,the shortcuts he missed are:
Shift+End(for those that have that key) :select from cursor to end of line
Shift+Home:select from cursor to start of line
Shift+Ctrl+End : select from cursor to end of file
Shift+Ctrl+Home:select from cursor to start of file
Visual Studio Specific Shortcuts:
Alt+ArrowUp:move selection to above line
Alt+ArrowDown:move selection to belowline
More VSCode shortcuts:
Ctrl+space to show variable name autocomplete suggestions
Ctrl+/ to comment/uncomment a line
Ctrl+] to indent once (move to the right)
Ctrl+[ to de-indent once (move to the left)
Ctrl+. to view suggestions on fixing anything with red squiggles underneath it
You can also highlight the whole section of code you want in brackets and then type the opening bracket to put one before and one after your selection - works for single quotes, double quotes, backticks, round brackets, square brackets, and curly brackets!
A-1 presentation !! A lot of good tips- well done , thanks THIO !!
This guy literally making our life more easy and faster! Huge respect to u my friend! ❤️
Shift + Windows + S
Thank you so much for this! No more Ms paint editing! 😂
you can make snip and sketch trigger when the printscreen is pressed, just go to the settings and toggle it :)
I recently learned this one. I've been doing a lot of image edits, and it's a great way to get quick copies of things.
I'm still looking for the: "ANY" Key.(?)
the any key is actually alt+f4 😂
Lavern Roeig: I think it's on the bottom of the laptop. Try flipping it over-lol.
A couple more:
Ctrl+L brings your cursor to the web browser address bar. Good for quickly inputting a google search. Also works in file explorer and probably most programs that have similar thing. It even worked in LoL to search the shop (at least at the time when I used to play it)
Alt+Left/Right moves to previous/next page you've been on. Alt+Up in files explorer brings you a level up
Alt+F4 on desktop brings up a shutdown menu on windows. I don't remember when was the last time I've turned off my PC the regular way.

@6:30 I would like to add another text selection shortcut which I use very frequently - CTRL+SHIFT+ to select texts word by word (instead of just letters by letters)
Another shortcut for elite users - Windows+C - which brings up Cortana ✌
9:40 Storage volume B:
*wait that's illegal*
1TB floppy
Excuse me? You don’t have floppy drives? Shameful.
I like a lot the content u prepare and algo u make me feel smart! Your pronunciation is so clear that I understand each word! Greetings from Buenos Aires!. By the way, the emoji panel is fantastic!
the last one is really the best one especially when doing assignments
😎🤣🤣🤣🤣😄😄😅😅😅
😀😀
6:59 Good one!
If you know what i mean....😅
Hiding the po when parents comes in ......sorry can't say the word
Yeah, Win + M is the same
So... You watch some Polonium Radon
While typing 'Backspace' removes a single character but you can use 'Ctrl + Backspace' to remove a complete previous word or similarly 'Ctrl + Delete' to remove the next complete word. And you can take snapshots easily by just pressing 'PrtScr' (PrintScreen) as now it directly allows you to crop and save a snapshot. And key for emoji you can use both Windows + . and WIndows + ;
Ctrl+Backspace , how it works? won't do on mine👀
What about Ctrl+alt+del, start(win)+s, ctrl+f, ctrl+shift+s, alt+enter, alt+(drag and drop), start+h, start+k, alt+selecting text with mouse and f12 for browsers
Ctrl+alt+del was for task manager long time ago, but on windows 10 that is to open one menu with restart, task manager, switch user, change password
start+s is for opening well known search bar
ctrl+f is find (I forgot did you put it in the video or not, I aplogize for that)
ctrl+shift+s is save as
alt+enter is to full screen cmd/powershell or to open properties window on icon you click
alt+drag and drop is to create a shortcut of apps, folders documents and more
First you choose any icon you want
Then press alt and hold it, then drag your icon and drop it anywhere you want then it will create a shortcut
start+h is for msword so you can speak on your microphone and it will write text
start+k is to open devices window to connect
And alt+select is to select specific words without chosing whole line
Also I already knew all of these shortcuts you told us.
Anyways thank you for reading my comment and thank you for teaching people who know less about computers.
Knowledge is for everyone.
On web browsers if you press f12 you open inspect element
oh,
2:57 you don't actually need to shift+click the first item, you just need one item selected
2:42 wait... an Overwatch player actually fell for that? 😂🤣😂🤣
You also forgot the Ctrl+W. It closes only one tab that you are on and not all of it like the Alt+f4 shortcut.
The other one is the Ctrl+/num/ (depends on the number of tabs that exist in your web browser).
If you use this shortcut, it will bring you to your desired tab.
For instance, if you use Ctrl+4, it will bring you to the fourth tab in your browser.
One of the best Features on Windows 10 is windows key and H it allows you to use the microphone to type instead of the keyboard on pc kinda insane, I'm actually using the speech right now to comment on this video haha lol
thank you, the shortcut Win + Shift + S was very useful for me because I don't have PrtSc on my keyboard
7:10 You can also hover over or click the very, very rightmost of your taskbar after the little line.
Some shortcuts I find quite usefull too : Shift+right click in a folder in explorer = Gives you an option to open this folder in powershell (only in user mode but still !)
Again in explorer : ctrl + h = Show hidden files
Finally learnt how to use emojis, thanks man🤗🤗😊😊

In MSWord, placing the cursor in any text and using [Alt-Shift-Up or Dn Arrow] will move the paragraph of text up or down the page allowing one to relocate text before or after other paragraphs.
This also works within tables where one wishes to re-order one or more rows (selecting multiple rows is easy with the mouse), but beware, moving a block(s) of text into a table causes unusual behaviour as does moving a row(s) within a table to a location outside the table boundary.
Nice tip
3:13 in some cases the second shift+click right after a ctrl+click will undo the first shift+click (i noticed it on thunderbird)
you can get around this by using ctrl+shift+click the second time you want to do the shift+click
6:18 you can combine that, again, with ctrl. just shift+sidearrow will select one character at a time, but if you're holding ctrl at the same time it'll jump whole words at a time.
8:36 just save yourself the hassle and use sharex. yes it's a program you have to install but it's _incredibly_ useful and much more practical and efficient than that. i'd even say it's almost mandatory to have.
Hassle? WIN + SHIFT + S takes like no time.

Awesome Video man. Most of these key binds I've already knew, but in the end of the video, there was few ones that I've learnt.
Outstanding Thio! Yes I watched this video to the very end and I will be pondering the new shortcuts I was unaware of 🤔
I once tried almost every possible keyboard shortcut just to see what they do so I knew almost all of these, I am also an elite viewer :)
Ctrl+shift+directional arrow - select by whole word not just characters.
Ctrl+w to complement ctrl+t
Carl+w also closes tabs on web browsers
beat me to saying ctrl+w xD
I use ctrl+F4 instead of ctrl+w (does the same). Also works in Office (Word & Excel) to close a document. Makes sense that alt+F4 closes the application or browser while ctrl+F4 closes just one document or tab.
or simply double click
I’m an elite viewer. What else do I need to say. 😎.
Oh, what about thank you! Love your videos. Thanks
Don't apologize. Your title is the reason I clicked cause it made me laugh.
Me: *constantly questions myself of why haven I written this stuff down yet*
One of the ones I often use is win+alt+b. It toggles HDR for your display, which is handy if you have some software that bugs with HDR and want to toggle it quickly.
Will try that
For anyone using multiple screens, but not always having all turned on Win + Shift + Arrows will move the active window to the adjacent screen in that direction. So this is an easy way to get a window back if you moved it off screen, or if its last position was on a screen you have turned off at the moment.
