A good list of Windows 8 shortcut keys

Posted: (EET/GMT+2)

 

Working efficiently in any Windows application or the operating system itself pretty much requires you to learn multiple keyboard shortcuts. I'm always in the quest to learn a couple of new tricks, so noticing today a nice list on MSDN Blogs was a good thing.

This is list isn't of course all-inclusive, but its nonetheless a comprehensive one for Windows 8. My favorites in this list include these:

  • Win+X: Access the Windows Tools Menu
  • Win+L: Lock the screen
  • Alt+D: Access the address bar (such as in File Explorer)
  • Win+B: Select the first item in the Notification Area.

Happy keyboarding!
