Windows 7 beta 1 includes some handy new shortcut key combinations that allow you to navigate and manage the Windows workspace more efficiently.Here are 10 new Windows 7 shortcuts that will help you speed up your workflow (“Win” means the Windows Key):
- Win+Home: Clear all but the active window
- Win+Space: All windows become transparent so you can see through to the desktop (requires the Aero interface)
- Win+Up arrow: Maximize the active window
- Win+Down arrow: Minimize the active window or restore the window if it's maximized
- Win+Left/Right arrows: Dock the active window to each side of the monitor
- Win+Shift+Left/Right arrows: If you've got dual monitors, this will move the active window to the adjacent monitor (love this one!)
- Win+T: Shift focus to and scroll through items on the taskbar
- Win+P: Adjust presentation settings for your display
- Win+(+/-): Zoom in/out
- Shift+Click a taskbar item: Open a new instance of that particular application
Thanks to Stephen Rose, the Senior Community Manager for the TechNet Springboard Series for the tips.
