Shortcut keys (hotkeys) are very important for improving the usability and productivity of a software. Save time. Windows users are probably familiar with at least the Win + shortcut keys.
The Windows 10, new operating system of Microsoft, features an updated Start menu, virtual desktops, and several GUI improvements. In addition to these changes, which all the websites mention, it brings with it a series of new hotkeys (shortcut keys), which we would like to share with you in this article.
The following shortcut keys were added to Windows 10:
- Create a new virtual desktop: Win + Ctrl + D
- Toggle Active Virtual Desktop: Win + Ctrl + Left or Right
- Close a current virtual desktop: Win + Ctrl + F4
- Window attachment: Win + Left or Right (can also be used with the UP or DOWN keys to display and enter quadrants)
- Change to a recent window: Hold down Alt + Tab to display the Task View window (projection work), release Alt to switch to the desired program.
- View Tasks: Win + Tab Opens a new Task View opens and stays open.
Of course, it is very likely that Microsoft will add more useful keyboard shortcuts to the final version of Windows 10, but until then we hope you get a taste.
