I use Win+X, Win+E, and Win+R literally everyday.

Win - Tab for the overview, you can then add virtual desktops in the top row. switching between them with Ctrl-Win-L/R-Arrow.
Works the same on the current KDE :-)
I have bound the switching to modifierkey (on the mouse)-Mousewheel L/R, so i can switch desktops with the mouse only :-)
Now if Windows and KDE would just remember which programs belong on which desktop, that would be nice.
Ctrl+backspace deletes the previous word. Now if I could just form the muscle memory.
Yes, but it is also sometimes something different. I have it in muscle memory, and sometimes have to retype everything because I accidentally navigate the browser back one step...
I like Emacs' kill shortcuts. Kill a line, kill a word, kill a paragraph
Though I don't do much in Emacs other than code
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.
I read every comment and I'm pretty sure I've got something most of you don't know. control and left or right will move by one word at a time in text. if you hold shift with this, you can highlight.
I find this is incredibly useful after I use Alt d or Control-L. in most browsers including most file browsers, this will take you to your address bar. then you can chop up your URL.
I did see somebody mention shift insert. I don't know if they mentioned shift delete which cuts.
Long IT nerd here, I've known about those shortcuts for a long time. Its interesting as I left the IT industry about 12 years ago and work in an unrelated field. Half the time I talk to our tech support guys, I know more than them. My fellow colleaugues think I'm like Merlin the magician.
I had to write an essay in an exam setting once and all the keyboard controls like that were disabled. Worst 20 minutes ever
I would be so frustrated I might try to smoke a cigarette in the test
Even better:
Win + Space (Win or Super + Space in Linux also) changes keyboard languages. I'm not seeing that anywhere in here either.
I hate tripping that one. I actively remove my "alternate" keyboards so I never trip it. on windows, one of my emacs binds trips it. so frustrating.
vim enters the chat
Surprised top comment isn’t “just install linux”
I've been stuck in vim for 10 years, it WONT LET ME LEAVE!!
We don't negotiate with terrorists here
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).
For the snipping tool, can’t you also use the “prt scr” key to bring it on? I saw my coworker doing that some time ago but never explored the subject
TIL about super + shift + arrow. Thank you kind stranger, and it works on KDE very well.
Ctrl T most know for opening a new tab. Ctrl shift T a lot don't know, opens previous tabs. Aka all those times you closed a tab and then realized you needed it 10 mins later... You can reopen those. (Also if you close edge/chrome and lost your tabs somehow, when launching fresh often Ctrl shift T will relaunch all of them on one press if needed). Work environments usually push Edge and chrome use a lot.
Also many don't use Windows V. Instead of Ctrl V which pastes the last item copied, windows V opens the clip board so you can paste one of the last few things you copied. Aka all those times you paste and didn't realize you copied a link or something after and now lost what you were trying to paste, you can turn it on using win v and it will stay on for future use.
Glad it works on KDE too :) it's a great tool for looking like a hackerman in front of coworkers.
I somehow always manage to fuck this up and flip my screen orientation, because I am a dumb.
You're pressing Ctrl+Alt+Arrow Keys
