26 Keyboard Shortcuts To Memorize Today

I think that the majority of those are common knowledge. The only ones I didn't know were the Windows 7 ones and Windows+D. And as mentioned Ctrl+Z is one of the main ones missed. On another note, I use Ctrl+F5 all the time, it refreshes your browser, clearing the cache for that page. Very useful for web development.

Many, if not most, of the Mac OSX substitutions are incorrect. For example, the task switcher is activated with Command-Tab, it does not switch to another tab within the browser. That's CTRL-Tab, just as in Windows. Did you actually try these on a Mac?

Hey mareich, Rico here. You're right. Ctrl+Tab is still works the same way on Mac OS X as on Windows and Linux. I've made the necessary corrections. They should appear once the site's cache refreshes. Feel free to point out any errors, and thanks for the support!

The shortcut to task manager is wrong. It is ctrl+shift+esc

 

[brisa117]

Umm... is it just me or should "Ctrl+Alt+Esc" be "Ctrl+Shift+Esc" to access the task manager? Or are all of my PCs messed up? : P

 

[slicedtoad]

not sure if anyone mentioned this yet but the command for task manager is ctrl+shift+escape in windows 7. Not ctrl+alt+esc

Thanks for these shortcuts. But it seems that you missed a lot of them as per this cheatsheet:

Ctrl-Shift-Esc opens the task manager directly, NOT Ctrl-Alt-Esc.

CTRL - W

In your browser (don't about IE, I never use it) you can simply use your Middle Mouse Button (click the mouse wheel) to open something in a new tab, instead of using Ctrl+Click.

#7 is the biggest reason why I hated Windows 8. In Windows 7, it searches programs, settings, files, media, all on one screen. Windows 8 adds unnecessary steps to the process.

Clicking on URLs with the middle mouse button (aka the wheel button) opens the link in a background tab in most tabbed browsers.

It's ctrl+shift+escape to bring up task manager on mine. ctrl+alt+escape seems to cycle through open programs.

I've yet to disable my windows key for gaming, but I have remapped F4 so I can use alt-F4 for a gaming-hotkey

 

[FinneousPJ]

Task Manager is Control + Shift + Esc, not Control + Alt + Esc

Ctrl click? Seriously lol
The scroll wheel (or even the button in the middle) has been there since the 90s, it's much better
