Save precious time and get the most out of Windows 10 with these top Windows shortcuts. I start basic and then move on to some lesser known but equally valuable Windows shortcut keys. While researching this video, I discovered some new shortcut keys in Windows that I now use on a regular basis. Hopefully you'll find the same.

Great tips! I learned several new ones, the basic ones I already use, as I'm a typist... and as you mentioned, keyboard commands are a time saver. :) I really liked the 'virtual desktop' command, never knew that was a Win10 feature.

@drutgat2 4 года назад

That was brilliant. Many thanks. I use a lot of the shortcuts you mentioned, but learned 4 or 5 new ones which will be very useful.

@mauricioparrarios9766 3 года назад

Great tips, I definitely will use these shortcuts at work. The way it was explained , it was very comprehensive for me. I use copy and paste a lot at my work , however I was using the right click on the mouse. Thanks very much for this.

Kevin, you are the man! This is the best video out there showing all the important shortcuts and ALSO how to reverse them. I came here because of those moronic videos of Bright side where they show you how to get a different desktop but not how to navigate through the additional desktops you create. Thanks for doing this !

It was worth watching the whole thing just for the WIN+G shortcut! Awesome

@claycassin8437 3 года назад

It does absolutely nothing when I press it. Win10 v 20h2(latest). No "Game Bar" whatsoever. Before you ask, I am pressing "Windows" and "G" simultaneously. Windows key works fine for all other shortcuts.

@margerycross193 Год назад

Kevin I didn’t think it was possible for me to learn anything that involves the use of tech but then I stumbled on one of your videos and now not only did I learn but am now hooked. I need you to do videos on all the technology in my life I want to learn but can’t grasp. Can you teach my cricut, how to use my dlsl camera and embroidery machine too? I’ve had them for years and just can’t get it.

@ammq23 3 года назад

I was watching another of you videos and thought of will be nice to have a list. Thank you.

@rafhaeltenorio425 Год назад

Another really useful shortcut is Win + Shift + S, which allows you to take a screenshot of specific areas you want (I'm not sure which version of Windows introduced this feature)

@noahcalland8316 4 месяца назад

That’s a relatively recent one, it was added in to Win10 within the last few years

@ronferrante2486 3 года назад

I discovered by experimentation a way to highlight a column of information in a Microsoft Word doc. Might work elsewhere but haven't yet tried that. DOES involve the mouse. Click where you want to start the highlight then press Alt while dragging down and even right or left depending on what you need highlighted. Avoids text being highlighted all the way to the left as you drag down when you don't need that. Perhaps you're looking to delete a particular column of text. Great way to accomplish that. Highlight then delete. Cheers!

Here are some shortcuts that I use all the time in Chrome and on RU-vid (and I think most can be down on the Mac): 1. Ctrl + Shift + O opens the Bookmark Manager in Chrome 2. Ctrl + Shift + B toggles displaying and hiding the Bookmarks bar in Chrome 3. Ctrl + H opens the History of web pages you have visited in Chrome 4. Shift + , slows down RU-vid videos in increments of 25% up to a quarter of the original speed 5. Shift + . speeds up RU-vid videos in increments of 25% up to double the original speed 6. Left Arrow Key skips back 5 seconds when you are watching a video on RU-vid 7. Right Arrow Key skips forward 5 seconds when you are watching a video on RU-vid 8. Up Arrow Key raises the volume of a RU-vid video 9. Down Arrow Key decreases the volume of a RU-vid video

Alt + Tab is a very common shortcut, but Ctrl + Alt + Tab is even better, because you freeze all open apps, and you dont have use a mouse at all. In that case you can close apps, one by one with delete key. I really like your channel. Just a keep great work. Greetings from Serbia 👍👋

Just watched your video on Windows 10 Shortcut Keys and Liked it. Is there a shortcut key for “go to search bar” within an app? ie. I’m in Amazon or some other app and I want to search for something else within the app is there a keystroke to get backup to the search bar?

Regarding “zooming”, I just hold down the CNTRL key then scroll up or down with the mouse wheel. I think pushing the wheel away from you zooms in (larger) and toward you zooms out (smaller). This seems to work on ANY screen including the desktop.
