vim enters the chat

When I used to sell tickets on the railway, I noticed that the ticketing programme had underlined letters, so I tried doing alt + those letters and it worked. I spent an evening shift at a remote outstation getting to grips with the shortcuts, then when it came to doing the morning rush at a busier station, it was talk of the town.

I worked at a call centre for a shopping channel years ago, at a time when they were trying to get everyone to ditch this DOS-based ordering programme where you mainly use the F keys for operations in favour of this user-friendly GUI where you could do everything with the mouse, and would you believe, people were routinely faster with the keyboard. I suppose it hadn't occurred to them that anyone can get used to doing keyboard controls if they're sat at a computer eight hours a day.

Just enabling Dark Mode in MS Office apps makes me god emperor of technology at work.

fun fact: old school command-line users know all about keyboard shortcuts and we love them. We just never became managers, because fuck that.

Ctrl + v, ctrl + z, shift + ctrl + v

Windows users: Press ctrl + alt + shift + windows key + L. Go on, try it.

You're welcome. You can never unlearn this knowledge now.

I read every comment and I'm pretty sure I've got something most of you don't know. control and left or right will move by one word at a time in text. if you hold shift with this, you can highlight.

I find this is incredibly useful after I use Alt d or Control-L. in most browsers including most file browsers, this will take you to your address bar. then you can chop up your URL.

I did see somebody mention shift insert. I don't know if they mentioned shift delete which cuts.

edit:

win+e to open file explorer. win+d to show desktop.

I'm the Hackerman of my workplace by using shift+tab to jump one cell to the left in Excel.

tab --> cell to the right ist selected (next cell)

shift+tab --> cell to the left is selected (previous cell)

Ctrl+backspace deletes the previous word. Now if I could just form the muscle memory.

Win - Tab for the overview, you can then add virtual desktops in the top row. switching between them with Ctrl-Win-L/R-Arrow.
Works the same on the current KDE :-)
I have bound the switching to modifierkey (on the mouse)-Mousewheel L/R, so i can switch desktops with the mouse only :-)
Now if Windows and KDE would just remember which programs belong on which desktop, that would be nice.

I use tab to fill out forms and people think I'm hackerman.

Win + shift + S brings up the new version of the snipping tool, win + shift + arrow key moves your window (left and right to change displays, up to fit the window vertically, down to minimize).

Hyprland/sway or any other WM-user: Pathetic

Using Autohotkey, fancy zones, and Greenshots makes you look like an actual wizard
