Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Since we're talking about Windows:

WinKey + .

to open up the secret emoji/symbols toolbox. ๐Ÿซ›

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

Windows Key + Period (.) or Semicolon (;) - Open emoji panel.

Typing (windows) in Teams helpfully replaces the word with a dinosaur ๐Ÿฆ– icon.

It does the same thing on KDE Plasma!

Yes! Someone saw me add ๐Ÿ˜Ž 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!
