I very rarely use that feature so I forget the windows+arrow shortcut. My favorite shortcuts are shift+arrow when inputting text to highlight text, ctrl+arrow to skip text by word (left and right, but ctrl with up and down mimic home and end keys) and the combination ctrl+shift+arrow to highlight one word at a time. I also like ctrl+shift+esc to pop open task manager directly instead of using ctrl+alt+delete and then selecting task manager.

Oh yeah, and taking a screenshot with windows+shift+s. I think Windows 11 added windows+shift+r to record video.

Mac not having this hot key is criminal.

Is this generational? I'm a millennial, 38 years old. I don't know about most of these short cuts. I'm a mechanic, I use computers at work but mostly proprietary programs. I don't use my computer at home except for bill paying or something else the necessitates using it.

Ctrl+backspace deletes the previous word. Now if I could just form the muscle memory.

Knew about this one, but in an experimenting mood after reading it, looks like WIN+ALT+(Left or right) does the same thing, but for thirds rather than halves which could be useful. Up/down seems to have the same impact of only doing halves the same way just WIN+Direction does

How OP felt:

Win - Tab for the overview, you can then add virtual desktops in the top row. switching between them with Ctrl-Win-L/R-Arrow.
Works the same on the current KDE :-)
I have bound the switching to modifierkey (on the mouse)-Mousewheel L/R, so i can switch desktops with the mouse only :-)
Now if Windows and KDE would just remember which programs belong on which desktop, that would be nice.

I somehow always manage to fuck this up and flip my screen orientation, because I am a dumb.
