Common shortcut keys for Windows 8

Recently, I saw an article on the Sina science and technology channel about Windows 8 shortcut keys.ArticleAnd I think it is useful for normal operations. If you repost it, you can easily forget it and check it at any time. To be honest, I am not very familiar with Windows 8 operations. It is too troublesome to use the mouse. After all, many operations are optimized for touch, the mouse slides fast and the fingers do not point fast. It's hard to imagine that you will write on a mobile deviceCodeSo it is not realistic to lose the mouse in your daily work. Let's take a look at some of the shortcut keys we often use. With them, it will make your Windows 8 more convenient to use!

Win + x: Right-click the original start button

If you move the mouse to the lower left corner of the screen and right-click the screen, you will see a brand new right-click menu, which lists common functions such as control panel, search, and running. If you don't want to move that distance every time, try to pressWin + xAnd press win + x again to close it.

Win + Tab: Switch Application

In Vista and win7 systems, win + TAB switches the task window in 3D mode. However, Win8 removes the display mode and switches applications cyclically on the Left bar of the screen. In addition, it is mainly used for switching between Metro applications and desktops. Win + Shift + TAB indicates reverse switching.

Switch Applications cyclically

Win + Z:Open the additional menu bar at the bottom of the screen (valid on the metro Start Screen or metro application)

Add menu bar

Win + J: Return to the previous application/desktop (valid only on the metro Start Screen)

Win + pgup: Move the Start Screen or metro application to the left-side display;Win + pgdn: Move the Start Screen or metro application to the right display. (Valid when connected to multiple monitors)

In addition to these shortcut keys, the shortcut keys in Windows 7 are also applicable to Windows 8 traditional desktop environments.

Start8

Finally, we will introduce you to start8. Its purpose is to add a start button and start menu for the consumption preview version of Windows 8.

Go to the download page

After the software is installed, a "Start button" will be automatically added to the taskbar without additional operations or computer restart. Click the new start button to see the menu format shown in figure. It is equivalent to all application interfaces on the metro Start Screen.

However, after installing the software, opening the charm bar and clicking "start" will not be able to switch to the Win8 standard full screen Start screen, but with the same content, press the Windows key on the keyboard. I tried to switch to the full screen Start Screen only in any Metro application.

Some settings of Start8 can be right-clicked on the Start button:

If you select Show fullscreen Metro Start Menu, the Start Screen is displayed in full screen mode, but the traditional Start Menu is lost.

The third option is to change the icon of the Start button. The software comes with some icon styles for us to choose from.

The run option is the running function of windows, and shutdown is the shutdown function. I believe this function will become an important reason for many people to use it. It is more convenient to shut down it ......
