Shortcuts
(lemmy.world)
Shit, it even works on Plasma…
TIL…
Many Plasma default shortcuts mirror Windows
Win + shift + S brings up the new version of the snipping tool, win + shift + arrow key moves your window (left and right to change displays, up to fit the window vertically, down to minimize).

I very rarely use that feature so I forget the windows+arrow shortcut. My favorite shortcuts are shift+arrow when inputting text to highlight text, ctrl+arrow to skip text by word (left and right, but ctrl with up and down mimic home and end keys) and the combination ctrl+shift+arrow to highlight one word at a time. I also like ctrl+shift+esc to pop open task manager directly instead of using ctrl+alt+delete and then selecting task manager.
Oh yeah, and taking a screenshot with windows+shift+s. I think Windows 11 added windows+shift+r to record video.
Knew about this one, but in an experimenting mood after reading it, looks like WIN+ALT+(Left or right) does the same thing, but for thirds rather than halves which could be useful. Up/down seems to have the same impact of only doing halves the same way just WIN+Direction does

Is this generational? I'm a millennial, 38 years old. I don't know about most of these short cuts. I'm a mechanic, I use computers at work but mostly proprietary programs. I don't use my computer at home except for bill paying or something else the necessitates using it.
Sort of, but of certainly not universal. I use common keyboard shortcuts all the time, but don't know what the one OP was taking about was before just now.
But, older folks seem to never, ever use things like Ctrl+C or Ctrl+P, which drives me crazy. But I've also seen people in the last few years who double click links on websites, and aren't retired yet.
Ultimately, YMMV.
