I am posting this because I am ashamed I just found out it existed, and I thought I would subject the rest of my Beehaw friends to the same experience! 😁

The instructions are super simple, Windows Key + . (period) opens up a little overlay which contains Emojis, GIFs, Clipboard, and some other stuff I’m not sure is useful.

Ill end this post with a question for you all:

-What was something you learned about technology FAR later than you SHOULD have?

    Win + Shift + Left / Right Arrow will shift a window from one monitor to the other. Should have known that keyboard shortcut a lot longer than I have.

      I actually learned this one working at an IT help desk. It’s the main way to fix the “I can’t find this window” problem when people throw an application screen entirely off monitor or it’s just poking out by 1 pixel and they can’t find it.

      Hit that shortcut and it snaps to one of the screens and you can go from there!

        Yeah it’s quickly become one of my most frequently used keyboard shortcuts, and I’ve used it for exactly that purpose as well.
