Preserved Topic: heh - you learn something new every day! (Page 1 of 1)

in IE... hold down shift and click on a hyperlink, it opens it in a new window! that just made my day!

the joys of having a simple mind...

My favorite new quick key (Windowskey + M) minimizes all windows


Walking the Earth like Kane

oh my god that's cooooollllll.... (shift+click)

but uhm, my 1ghz pc doesn't have a windows key =)

cheers.mikey.milker

uhhh, windows + d mimimizes all windows too....

you can also type, say "Ozones" in the url text box in ie, and press ctrl + enter.....

how about pressing windows + e, opens up windows explorer....or shift click on the drive to explore

or alt + spacebar then x...for maximizing windows

windows + r for run...

windows + f for find...

windows + ctrl + f for find computer...

windows + pause/break for system properties...


can't think of anymore right now.....

Knock it off! You're gonna make my head explode!

Hmm, the *un-countable* shortcuts

Nice, now I don't have to right click on links to open them in new windows! helpful.

I use Windows + D a lot. don't really know any others, though.

Alt + left and right is like back and forward in IE, backspace is also back. but you probably knew that already.

yeah, alt+left rocks.
and one day, i say someone do windows+e for explorer, so i just sat there, trying every combination till i found a few good shortcuts... i like savigating the start menu by keys too... press window button, then up/down/right/enter....

but i would have to say that my favourite keyboard shortcut is still crtl+alt+del.

I was just trying some of these out, and it seems that (Windows key + M) will minimize the windows, but it won't bring them back. But if you use (Windows key + D) you can toggle back and forth between minimized and not.

I use Win-E and Win-D all the time. Win-F is also a good one. Does anyone know the shortcut key for minimizing an individual window?

Not directly, but pressing Alt + spacebar, releasing both, and hitting "n" will do the trick, I think.

I use CTRL + N to open a new window
SHIFT + click = target="_blank"

yeah i use crtl+n all the time too.
and as for photoshop shortcuts.... phew!

alt + tab cycles through the windows that you have open or minimized

~Aaron

Windows + D will minimize all, and restore.

Windows + M will minimize all of the windows....but to restore with windows + m, add the shift key in there....windows + shift + m...

I have to say windows + d is much better, less buttons to worry about, and it is a shorter reach...

but like bunchapixels said, and I agree ctrl + alt + del is my favorite...and most used at that...

well, win+d dont work on my pc... but didnt know win+shift+m!

CTRL+W escape out of Asylum?
Or is it just a temporary illusion?

Windows + D is the shortuct for "Show Desktop" command, so that's why it is minimizing/maximizing open windows.

Windows + Tab will cycle through taskbar buttons so that you can swith betwen apps (you need to press ENTER when the desired app is selected).

Also, alternative to shift+click is to press right-click/popupmenu button on the keyboard and there you'll have the normal context menu (but, you must first left-click on the link in order to select it)

My right hand is suffering a litlle pain caused by the extreme use of mouse. When I get tired of using it, I use shortcuts.. But in PS, it become really hard.. I know very few shortcut keys.. most of the time ctrl/ alt/ shift + MOUSE ... and, another fav is CTRL + Z... easier, faster, accurate?

I always wish that I can CTRL + Z certain things in my life...

i guess everyone've post all my favourite shortcut keys so.. no need for me to state it all again here..but..Rick.. i thought you like to use mouse than keyboards.. hehehe..
i wish i could Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y certain things in my life too.. but i think life doesn't really supports shortcut keys .. don't you think ?



cherrioo..

:: Ahh, well, sanity is always questionable :: I'm a normal person, I just be having crazy thoughts ::

Rick - if its PS shortcuts you want....
one way to find out what they they is to leave the mouse over a tool button, and in the status bar it will tell you the shortcut... sometimes i barely use that bar...
(moVe, Marquee, bucKet fill [PS 5 that is, not 6!]...)
and the others are in the menus....
and you can do them the usual way... alt+letter+next letter...
image size: alt+i+i
canvas size: alt+i+s
crop to selection: alt+i+p
etc etc.. i wish there were keyboard shortcuts for the filters...
two other good ones are:
'i' for invert and
crtl+shift+i for invert selection.
THEN, crtl+shift+c to copy image (copies all that you can 'see' in the selection, not just the specific layer)
and FINALLY, my favourite:
crtl+alt+shift+s: save for web. that one rocks.

<edit> dear me, i spent my 1000th post talking about keyboard shortcuts... someone get me a life.</edit>
