I learned about Windows-D the same day I learned about how to use Alt-Tab to cycle between programs. We had a Terminal/Desktop type PC at work with no mouse but a tiny little touchpad on the keyboard (we used it as a cash register but also to check work emails and use the web for certain portions of the job). Needless to say those two shorcuts come in VERY handy.

This reminds me of something funny I unintentionally said once:

I was on my laptop once and I wanted to turn the volume up (with Fn [function] and page-up) and I accidentally hit Win+PgUp. Then it did something I didn't want it to do (i forget what) and I said "Remind me never to mix up the windows key with the function key!" hehe, get it? Windows doesn't function? Hehehe....well, I thought it was funny anyway.

Out of curiosity, I wondered what it does when you do █+PgUp/PgDn. It cycles programs for those of you too lazy to try it yourself. Normally, laziness is high on the list of priorities for me, but not this time.

i love keyboard shortcuts!

when people are asking me how to get somewhere in windows they were asking what and where to click...

but then i give them the keyboard shortcut,i found them with jaws dropped. they will often ask me again what to click,thinking i was giving a different answer to a different question.especially the WINDOWS + pause break which brings out system properties and CTRL +ESC for the start menu .

:D
