Do you use shortcut keys? / myLot

In the past I seldom would use shortcut keys. Now I updated to Windows 10 and I found there was no a "stick" to let me go to desktop right away. It is inconvenient and my son told me to press "windows" and "d" buttons so that I can go to desktop immediately. OK, I shall adjust to use the shortcut keys now.

I use keyboard shortcuts fairly often but not as often as I might. My commonest ones are: F5 = Refresh/reload current webpage in browser Backspace = Return to previous page in browser Ctrl+C = Copy selected text/item Ctrl+V = Paste text/contents of clipboard Alt+Tab = Cycle through open applications (including Desktop) Win+E = Open Explorer/File Manager Win+M = Minimise all open applications Alt+F4 = Close current application There are also several other application-specific ones which I use frequently.

@youless I use it most on the tab showing 'Most Recent Discussions'. It keeps me up to date with what has been posted in the last few minutes. I also sometimes use an add-on which automatically refreshes selected tabs at a chosen interval but I think I prefer to do it manually.

I always try to use the shortcut keys if I know about them, as it's easier and faster to do when I am typing. I wonder what the "stick" is to go to desktop.

Do you like using Windows 10? I haven't upgrade mine yet. I am still using Windows 7.

Since lately we bought a new computer, so we installed Windows 10.

I use the keyboard shortcuts all the time, because it's faster than to use the mouse. As I told you in a previous post, you have to learn everything from scratch even in this new Microsoft system.

You are very professional to use computer. At least not many people know how to use Linux.
