Since we're talking about Windows:
WinKey
+.
to open up the secret emoji/symbols toolbox. ๐ซ
I discovered this at work when I fat fingered Winkey + L. No work was done that day.
That's my most used shortcut at work.
Which annoyingly only has a small subset of the emojis, making me have to use seach anyway.
Better than nothing I guess.
Also it used to lag like crazy, idk if it still does.
I'll have to try that, but I've been using
Win+;
. It opens an emoji picker and puts the focus in a search field so you can type "shrug" or something and often just hit Enter to choose the single result.It's ; as in ;)
At least, thats how I like to think of it.
It's the same. The windows shortcuts page has
Typing
(windows)
in Teams helpfully replaces the word with a dinosaur ๐ฆ icon.It does the same thing on KDE Plasma!
Yes! Someone saw me add ๐ to a document I was grading once and it blew their mind. "Wait! What did you just do? How did you get that menu?" I try to teach people, but they almost never remember. They praise me for my navigation skills, but they don't care to learn basic stuff like alt+tab/shift+alt+tab/win+tab.
Fun thing about the switch apps forward/backwards keys is shifted tab is back tab, so alt+tab is switch forward and alt+back tab is switch backwards
So useful when switching back and forth between two programs
I feel like shortcut knowledge is more about willingness to explore the machine than generations. I'm gen X.
I'm a regular Windows and Linux user, but am using OSX for a work project. I can't figure out the windows switching shortcut keys there. (This is from memory since I'm not on OSX right now) Command-Tab switches between Applications, but not separate instances of applications. Anyone know the shortcut key for that one or if there is a separate key combo to mimic Windows or Gnome?
I usually don't use alt+tab, but alt+shift+tab is a new one for me, thanks!
