[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 12 points 5 months ago (3 children) I don’t use windows. Is this serious or are you joking? If true, this is pretty much like TV remotes that have a Netflix or Hulu button. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Epzillon@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago Its true, its how the weird special keys on certain keyboards functions. Its just a convoluted keybind integrated into Windows. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Tja@programming.dev 4 points 5 months ago I find those buttons (well, the YouTube button) quite useful. Shortcut to the statistically most used apps. permalink fedilink source parent [–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago* Yeah it's real, Microsoft has built keyboard commands into the keyboard for awhile. Windows Key + E opens Windows Explorer. Think that existed in XP. Ctrl shift Esc opens task manager. Win r (run) Then obviously all the basics Ctrl x,c,v,p,z,y,f Ctrl t and Ctrl shift t for browsers (All of those last set should match Mac OS, just substitute Ctrl for Cmd) Most of them work in Mint and Debian as well. Although a good feature was updating Ctrl V to Win V which allows you to paste from your clipboard, so all those times you copy data, then copy something else and forget you did and try to paste, you can hit win v, and paste which selection you needed. I use Linux for Home, and Mac/Windows for work... permalink fedilink source parent
