The power of the Windows key

Posted on Wednesday, September 14, 2005 8:45 PM

I live my life on the command line and love shortcuts that makes my life easier. Coding horror has the details on the various Windows key combinations that justifies its place on the keyboard.One example; hitting  sure beats the usual Ctr+Alt+Del and then hitting the space key (as "lock computer" is the default choice). I guess this is a hint that I should RTFM once in a while as windows has evolved since Windows 95.

P.S. Sorry for the not posting updates on my sites lately. One kid starting in kindergarten and another one in school takes precedence over all hobby projects like my blogs.



Feel free to drop a few cents in the tip jar if this post saved you time and money

The info was really cool...but PS was overwhelming and took the precedence :)

But the compaq nx7010 I currently use does have one (as well as an incredible screen:-)

I use the windows key for the built in combinations as well as for Pure Text (http://www.coolorwhat.net/blog/archive/2004/11/16/336.aspx). I configured Pure Text so Windows key+V does a paste without formatting. Great for OWA, blogs and mails.
