We love shortcuts! They make our lives easier and our computing more
productive. For those of us whose hands ache from over using the mouse,
shortcuts can add hours of pain-free computer time.
Along with the new window
management features in Windows 7 comes shortcuts for those features to
completely bypass the mouse. This makes the new features more
user-friendly, and solidifies the hope that Microsoft really is
listening to their customers. Well, at least the share our affection
for shortcuts.
Windows Logo + Right Arrow: Sends the window to the
right half of the screen. This is a new feature in Windows 7—usually,
you must drag the window all the way to the very bottom right corner for
Windows to recognize you want to dock this window on the right. This
shortcut sends the window there with just a button click.
Windows Logo + Left Arrow: Sends the window the left
half of the screen. When used with the shortcut above, you can see
your windows side by side. This is great for comparing products online
or fact checking with the internet in one window and a Word file in
another.
Windows Logo + Home: Minimizes or restores
everything but the current window. Windows 7 allows users to “shake” the
current window to minimize all other windows. This shortcut takes the
place of the awkward shaking.
Windows Logo + +: Hitting this
shortcut will zoom in. Windows 7 has a magnifier that works with almost
any window. This shortcut activates the magnifier.
Windows Logo + –: Conversely, this shortcut allows you to zoom out. It should be easy to remember—plus zooms in, minus zooms out.
Windows Logo + G: Displays gadgets in front of other
windows. So, if you are making use of the gadgets and want to see what
they are doing behind your current windows, just quickly hit this
shortcut and the gadgets appear on top of your current windows.
Windows Logo + Up Arrow: Maximizes the current window.
Windows Logo + Down Arrow: Minimizes the current window.
