Windows shortcut key encyclopedia rare shortcut keys
We are all familiar with shortcut keys in Windows, but have you used these shortcut keys in your daily life? Compared to ordinary shortcut keys, their usage is somewhat unique: these keys cannot be pressed simultaneously, but require two or three consecutive steps of operation to achieve a function. However, using these shortcut keys is also more convenient than using a mouse.
Alt+Space → X Maximize Current Window
Alt+Space → N Minimize the current window
Tip: “Alt+Space → X” means to first press the “Alt+Space” combination key, then release the combination key, and then press the X key. The “→” symbol below indicates releasing the key pressed before the symbol, and then pressing the key after the symbol.
The following shortcut keys can be used on the desktop or folder window (note that they are folder windows rather than specific folders):
Right click → I → N Arrange icons by name
Right click ->I ->T Arrange icons by type (hehe, IT professionals should remember)
Right click ->I ->Z Arrange icons by size
Right click → I → D Arrange icons by date
Right click → W → F to create a new folder
Right click ->R If on the desktop, open “Display Properties”. If in a folder, open the properties of that folder
Right click ->E to refresh the current window, the effect is equivalent to F5
Tip: The “right click” here refers to the key between the Windows logo key and Ctrl located on the bottom right side of the main keyboard area.
If the current window is a specific file or folder:
Right click ->S Create a shortcut to the current file or directory
Right click ->R to view the current file or directory properties (equivalent to Alt+Enter)
Right click ->O to open the current file or directory (equivalent to entering)
Right click → T → A to send the current file or directory to the floppy disk
Note: Some software may add menus in the right-click menu, and the shortcut keys of these menus may conflict with the system shortcut keys. For example, WinRAR will add an “Add to” menu in the right-click menu of a file or folder, and the shortcut key S of this menu will conflict with the system right-click menu “Create Shortcut (S)”. If we want to remove these “foreign” right-click menus, we can open WinRAR, click “Options ->Settings” in the menu bar, open the “Settings” dialog box, click the “Select Associated Menu Item” button in the “Comprehensive” tab, and clear the checkbox in front of all options in the opened dialog box.
If the current window is Notepad:
Right click ->U undo operation, the effect is equivalent to Ctrl+Z
Right click ->P paste, the effect is equivalent to Ctrl+V
Right click ->A to select all text, the effect is equivalent to Ctrl+A
Using shortcut keys for “My Computer” and “Windows Explorer”
Purpose shortcut key
Close the selected folder and all its parents
Hold down the Shift key on the folder and then click the “Close” button (only applicable to “My Computer”)
Move backward to the previous view ALT+left arrow
Move Forward to Previous View ALT+Right Arrow
View the higher-level folder Backspace
In fact, these shortcut keys can be found in the right-click menu of relevant programs. Here, we have only selected a few practical ones to summarize, and you can also study them yourself. For example, if the current window is a file or folder, you can use “right-click → M” to rename the file or folder. Different programs have different shortcut keys. You can study and try them out yourself, and draw analogies.
