Krpano Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I would love to see a function to adjust the volume sound by just wheeling the mouse up/down over the taskbar sound icon, without the need to open the slider. Like on Ubuntu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like on Ubuntu. That hardly saves any time, and would cause alot of confusion for alot of people, I'm willing to bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChainsaw Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 That hardly saves any time, and would cause alot of confusion for alot of people, I'm willing to bet. They should make it so that you can change volume by hovering your mouse over the volume icon in the system tray and using the scholl wheel, istead of clicking it first.

iBenster Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Did they add a 'Create Folder' hotkey yet? Common, Win-N isn't doing anything. (Though I'd prefer not to have to take my hand off the mouse :) ) Ctrl+Shift+N ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calum Veteran Posted July 19, 2009 Veteran Share Posted July 19, 2009 Does anyone know if there is a shortcut which will hide the gadgets and then bring them back when you either let go, or press it again? Sometimes I'd like to see just my desktop background with no gadgets in the way, despite the opacity of the gadgets. Also, there seems to be a bug in the RC (build 7100) which brings the gadgets to the front - above all other windows - and the only way I have found to get rid of this is to restart my computer. I'm a bit confused as it's happened twice now in the past 3 days and it's never happened before. Is there a shortcut key to send the gadgets back to the back?

Oktoberfest Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I'm liking Win+D to instantly move to the desktop (not sure if this is actually a new hotkey for Win7 though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malisk Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 It's not strictly a "hotkey", but today I discovered something I'm not even sure has been documented... By double-clicking on either the top or bottom frame of a window (you know, when the mouse pointer turns into a ↕ symbol), it will resize itself to maximum vertical size, but with no change in the horizontal size. In other words, the way some windows behave when maximized on Mac if not using an Option key. Double-click again to restore (and for the restore, but the restore only, a click on the title bar will work as well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathknight74 Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Win++ (that's the plus key, next to the backspace)and Win+- will activate the magnifier with its awesome new full screen zoom (which can be configured to lens mode as well). Stumbled upon this by accident in the PDC build, and very much like the feature. I've noticed that the Aero parts such as title bars get a nice filtering effect on them so they don't look quite as bad when magnified, but sadly this doesn't yet carry over to the actual window contents (making the intermediate zoom levels such as 125% look hideous). Note: This currently doesn't seem to work with the numpad + and - keys, only the set next to the horizontal row of numbers. Would like to see that fixed. :) Also, I have so much love for Win+P. It actually works! :D Thanx alot man :woot: . BTW, I'm using 64-bit version and for me the num pad keys work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doli Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) Is there an official list put out by Microsoft of these shortcuts, I would like to know? If not then we should make a list and pin it on "windows 7 Support" or pin a shortcut to BrandonLive's site :p edit: ok i found rakeshishere post on page 6 that has the list from Microsoft sorted into groups.

Swoosh Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 WIN+E without a doubt. but I hope they fix it to go to Computer and not Libraries. It does go to Computer here. Not sure why it doesn't for you. my favorite is alt + f4 :D I can't imagine how they thought up that one. So intuitive :-) for people without the function on their Keyboards.. is their a hotkey for Muteing all sound yet ? Not that I know of. You could remap a function key for that purpose in the registry, though. The relevant registry key is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout Here's some MS documentation on that (old but still applies): http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/archive/w2kscan-map.mspx The scancode for mute/unmute is E0 20, so you'd want something like this: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout] "Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00, 20,e0,xx,xx, 00,00,00,00 where the x's are replaced by the value for your function key. Ouhh!, i didint know about the Win+T Shortcut!. Also, if you click and hold one of the icons in the taskbar, And drag it upward, it will fade the menu in!, i found that out by meeself :p Nice one :) Ctrl + Click on a grouped icon will cycle between the windows (or tabs) in the group. Also: CTRL + WIN + # cycles through the windows for the app at position # on the taskbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skulltrail Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I am not certain if these are new (probably not) Win+E - Libraries Win+U - Accessibility Win+D - Desktop Win+F - Search Win+L - Lock Win+B - Unknown Win+M - Seems to minimize Win+Number - Seems to start a new instance of the window, according to the superbar position. Correction: Windows+M - Show Desktop (minimizes all open windows) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
