Reddit features a comprehensive Windows XP, Vista, and 7 shortcut list, including some of the most useful ones. Here are my personal favorites (works only on Vista or Windows 7):
- Middle click an app on dock – Open a new app instance
- Middle click a thumbnail from dock – Close app instance/tab
- Alt – bring up old-style file menus where they’ve been removed
- Winkey + P – multi-display config quick-switch (press twice to switch)
- Winkey + X – bring up laptop settings control panel
- Winkey + T – dock keyboard mode (use arrow keys)
- Winkey + (shift +) tab – Flip 3D task switcher
- Winkey + left, right, up or down key – manage window position
What are your favorite Windows 7/Vista shortcuts?
Nice list. I’m very excited about Windows 7 and trying out these shortcuts just made me even more excited!
This is pretty neat!
