Jygoro Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I've just discovered "Minimize all" and "Restore all" hotkeys. I'll use that a lot. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdood Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Speaking of hotkeys, I hope the behavior of Win-E can be changed a little before the final release. It would be nicer if it opened a new Explorer window every time you let go of the E key, so you could open several before changing the folder.

br0adband Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Does my favourite hotkey - Win+Break - still work? Just in case you're on a laptop, most of them require the Fn key (or whatever the laptop uses for additional function key support) to get it to work, so it turns out to be... Windows + Fn + Break/Pause That's what I have to do on all the laptops I've ever used, so... But yes, it still works, quick way to System Properties, etc; one of my most used ones actually, always has been. Is their a shortcut for Show Desktop and Restore Windows?I know their is Win + space for the pseudo-show desktop, but I can't fidn any to restore the desktop once you have minimized ALL windows. Thanks If you purposely minimize all the windows (like one at a time or whatever), the old Win+D key doesn't help, nor will Win+M, etc or any combinations I've found. Purposely minimizing them all individually isn't something you can restore/undo except on a window by window basis. Win+D is still the fastest true "minimize all" and again to restore, but it doesn't affect individually minimized windows at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChainsaw Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Middle click on the thumbnail to close a window. I only found that out now, useful, i use middle click to close tabs on FF also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordkanin Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Win+Plus, and Win+Minus are nice, but the magnifier has a few problems: First, it's very slow to start if it's not already running. Second, it causes ghosting of the mouse cursor. If they can address these two issues, it'd be great to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclean009 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 My personal favorite is the center mouse or ctrl+click on apps. I do it in firefox, why not in windows? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grdh20 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I used to like Win Spacebar, but I've lost that feature for some unknown reason. Aero still works fine as does everything else, but not Aero Peak, Even an upgrade install to 76077 didn't bring it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zach_ Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 At this moment Win+ +/- to start the maginifier because it's the first time we have been able to color invert the whole screen (I think) since OS X (still superior) has had it for some time now.

P.M.K Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I found another one. On the desktop if you hold Ctrl and scroll up and down with your mouse wheel it re-sizes your desktop icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
