Beep boop - this is a robot. A new show has been posted to TWiT…
What are your thoughts about today’s show? We’d love to hear from you!
I never knew about WinKey+T. Back when I was a kid, my mom took away the family computer mouse and I taught myself to use the computer completely mouseless (although eventually I made use of mouse keys a little bit). That’s a very good tip.
[paul trying to share something] “huh it’s not working… well it worked before and it works great”. Greatness is shy hahah
WinKey+. (period) is a shortcut I use all the time, and Paul is right: almost nobody knows about it! it’s a very good “fun fact” that everyone I’ve ever showed it to appreciated. I use it all the time because I’ve moved to a post-numpad life where I still know the alt codes for my characters, but no longer have the pad to do them with.
I love Paul Thurrott as a teacher.

I think WinKey + ; (semi-colon) does the same thing (for some reason.) Also, in case you’re unaware, there is a utility in Powertoys that shows some of the WinKey shortcuts.
I love PowerToys. FancyZones are my life. I actually did know about that shortcuts thing. But by the time I’m thinking to check there, I’m probably already googling aha. also I don’t feel like they do a good job picking the lesser known ones.
Did you know: if you press Ctrl+Win+Alt+Shift+L, you’ll conveniently be taken straight to LinkedIn? Thanks Microsoft! (wow, while typing that, I learned something: Ctrl+Win+Alt+Shift is the office key. wow. thanks microsoft)
