Ctrl + Shift + Esc opens task manager

i'm glad more folks're learning of the update. still catch folks talking the old ways of ctrl+alt+del. classic, but perverted in these times
RussianMafia1337
In most cases, jump to address bar: Alt+D, close window/ Tab: Ctrl+W, restore closed tab: Ctrl+Shift+T. And most important: Ctrl+Shift+N
Missyem35
I had to teach a person from work how to use a computer, turn my back for a second and she had the mouse on the screen ...it was a long day
Missyem35
actually touching the screen trying to find the cursor once she got the hang of it there were about fifty windows opened of the her module

There must be some mistake here.. My friends always told me Ctrl + f4 was for free gold??

Ctrl + Tab & Ctrl + Shift +Tab let you switch between tabs in browsers.

I dont think enough people know about this... But also I think I may just use a stupid amount of tabs

As a vim user, I need 22 shortcuts just to do basic text entry

Ctr shift T open last tab closed in browser.

Win+E opens file explorer, Win+1-9 opens apps you had pinned to taskbar. Shit feels like you're doing the launch sequence for a space rocket

Ctrl + Shift + T : undo the closing of a recently closed tab.

I work in IT. Our office manager had accidentally moved her inbox under another year’s archive folder, with a spastic mouse click - started
furriephillips
Shouting about someone stealing her emails. Fixed her problem, hung about long enough to see her copying and pasting with the mouse...

She nearly had my babies when I told her about Ctrl+C/X/V/P shortcuts. It was a revelation to her.... Office manager, ffs.

Pro-tip... press 'alt + F4' when playing a game during a boss fight to download more ram and upgrade your cpu to up to double the cores.

It's ok if you know nothing about keyboard shortcuts, but you're probably better off just learning from tooltips of what you want to do

Yup.

Curser = someone that curses, so it's very useful to silence them : Curser : "Asshole !" [Ctrl+Del] Curser : "..."

5NoteHalf
Here's the thing, the two spelled "curser" instead of "cursor" are actually decent tips. I've mixed feelings about this. Later it's correct.

There's an app for for that on Linux: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvbn/thefuck/master/example.gif

It's really useful if you keep messing up your git commands.
Thefilthwizard
lol, did he alias "fuck" to do something? also, vim rules.
birthdaybaboon
When you typo a command, if you follow it with a "fuck", it'll automatically fix it for you. Humor value aside, it's surprisingly handy!

Kind of ended up mangling the url, but it's up on https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck

Yup! Anyone who isn't smart enough to spell a six-letter word, has no business trying to teach anyone anything.

On the other hand, maybe English isn't their first language. I have NO trust in a native speaker who can't spell, but I've worked with (1/2)
just4favs
NO trust in a native speaker who can't spell? Do they need to know like... allllllll the words?
TheOtherOneWithTheHair
Incompetence at a low-level strongly suggests incompetence at a high-level. Would you trust a surgeon who can't even spell the word surgery?
strcmdman
Actually many studies have been done to determine the opposite is true the more knowledgeable you are on a subject the more likely you are 1

What I SHOULD have said was when someone can't spell a word that's closely related to their chosen topic of expertise it raises doubts.

"Good even my naem r Capiten Roogers, eye wil b ur pie-lot for tooday! Dont wury an relaks, I reel gud at flyin plaenz"
5NoteHalf
Well, true, and I've apparently slipped into hyperbole. Not "no" trust, but bad spelling seriously undermines credibility from the get go.
5NoteHalf
enough people for whom English is 2nd, and I've learned to look past spelling a bit. I find sometimes patience/indulgence has paid off (2/2)
TheOtherOneWithTheHair
Agreed but those who fuck up then/than most, seem to be native speakers. If anything foreigners seem to get it right more often than natives
5NoteHalf
I've noticed that, too.

Ctrl+w: close current tab when someone walks in. Ctrl+shift+t: reopen the tab you just closed

I was about to add the Ctrl+Shift+T. That one is super usefull. Often close tabs by mistake when maybe researching something etc...

While ctrl+shift+T restores one tab, ctrl + T opens a new tab instead of a new window with ctrl + n

rusrsdude
Bruh ctrl shift w. Close the whole damn thing to be sure. Easier to reach than alt f4 for some people.

You kids and your Internet. When I was a young teenager I had to go dumpster diving to find porno magazines.

I found a massive stash of porn mags in a stump in the woods next to my house when I was 6-7 years old.

Ctrl+l/r arrows = move cursor per word. +shift into mix to select per word.

Came here thinking I knew all of these. I was happily mistaken. +1
TEDwisdom
Yeah, but if you're in incognito mode then you can't reopen that porn you just closed
SURPRISEscience
Firefox you can, as long as it's not the last tab of the window. No idea about Chrome.

Ah, okay. I mostly use Chrome and you can't there

Use win + D, that will minimize everything.

so i did ctrl+shift+n and opened a window of my browser. did the ctrl+shift+t and the last porn i looked at popped up. thanks!

Ctrl+Shift+N is usually a tab with the creepy guy in a coat, hat, and glasses [incognito mode]. Reopening a tab like that is impossible.

Once every pc has an AI: "hello John, would you like me to open up Transgender midget amputee incest porn for you?"
ninjacass
That’s why you hide it, change the file to either something boring and out of mind (term paper 2015) or make it look like internet explorer
ChaotikWolfi
hide it at the end of a ridiculous trail of files: Images> Family pics> Aunt Brendas wedding pics> 23-A324-0043> Error:file not found> porn

If you really care about security, embed it in an image.

Ooh that last resort “file not found” bit. I like it.

In Chrome, ctrl+E shifts to the address bar to search, alt+D shifts to the address bar to navigate
siedler084
For me CTRL+E opens my command window:
FrozenWaterIsCool
Never had to shift the address bar to search, since it already works by default as the primary search engine. Did you know you can add 1/2
FrozenWaterIsCool
keywords for different search engines? So you can switch the address bar to that search engine, by using the keyword?
DavidBrooker
I've found it handy once-in-awhile like when you want to force navigation (ie: navigating to an IP, which can be parsed as a calculator 1/2
DavidBrooker
problem) or force search (ie: you want to search information about a domain). But most of the time it's whatever. 2/2
