When I used to sell tickets on the railway, I noticed that the ticketing programme had underlined letters, so I tried doing alt + those letters and it worked. I spent an evening shift at a remote outstation getting to grips with the shortcuts, then when it came to doing the morning rush at a busier station, it was talk of the town.
I worked at a call centre for a shopping channel years ago, at a time when they were trying to get everyone to ditch this DOS-based ordering programme where you mainly use the F keys for operations in favour of this user-friendly GUI where you could do everything with the mouse, and would you believe, people were routinely faster with the keyboard. I suppose it hadn't occurred to them that anyone can get used to doing keyboard controls if they're sat at a computer eight hours a day.
I'm the Hackerman of my workplace by using shift+tab to jump one cell to the left in Excel.
tab --> cell to the right ist selected (next cell)
shift+tab --> cell to the left is selected (previous cell)

Using Autohotkey, fancy zones, and Greenshots makes you look like an actual wizard
I've never felt so seen
Mac not having this hot key is criminal.

I use tab to fill out forms and people think I'm hackerman.
You pull out shift-tab and they will think you're some Jedi that has jumped through time. I just go with it and tell them it's beautiful and peaceful where I'm from, but I needed to show them the ways of the forms. May the forms be with you!
Windows users: Press ctrl + alt + shift + windows key + L. Go on, try it.
You're welcome. You can never unlearn this knowledge now.
Oh awesome another thing to be mad about
I haven't ever uses D LinkedIn, and I never will.
I'm on linux, please just say what this does.
If you're on Linux, you really should be knowledgeable enough to use a search engine.
I'll save you the trouble this time.
(It opens LinkedIn in the default web browser.)
There's nothing wrong with asking easily searchable questions in threads. Either one person can ask and one person can answer or EVERYONE can search it on their own.
Yup! Also we're on social media - may as well be social with eachother.

This is so fucking dumb that I had to look it up anyways, to be sure you're not joking. Turns out, it is true.

I am rustled by this comment more than I should be.
Fuck that noise
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
Shift + WIN + L/R for swapping monitors is always great in a pinch
This is amazing. I have an ultra wide monitor at work and I've always wished I could break it into thirds
My friend with an ultra wide swears by fancy zones (part of windows power toys) to partition his screen for him.
Had a fun conversation with my boss when I installed it and he got a notification about it. He started our 1 on 1 with "what the hell is power toys"
