I am posting this because I am ashamed I just found out it existed, and I thought I would subject the rest of my Beehaw friends to the same experience! 😁

The instructions are super simple, Windows Key + . (period) opens up a little overlay which contains Emojis, GIFs, Clipboard, and some other stuff I’m not sure is useful.

Ill end this post with a question for you all:

-What was something you learned about technology FAR later than you SHOULD have?

    Win key+shift+s brings up a more advanced screenshot menu. It defaults to cropped screenshot, where you can select which part of the screen to save.

      In an upcoming Windows build the printscreen key will also invoke the screenshot tool by default, though you can revert it back to the old function if you prefer. Handy!

    You just taught me how to do the same thing, except I’m using EndeavourOS! Thank you! 😁

    As for me, I learned how to deal with audio issues using alsamixer!

    Not something I should have known, but if you want to continue using phone features on Windows Windows+H opens up the speech2text feature.

    I didn’t know about this. Just looked it up on Mac (MacOS). It’s the Globe Key + E. If you don’t have a Globe Key, it’s FN Key + E.

    In case you didn’t notice, you can immediately start typing as soon as you press that keyboard shortcut (Windows and .) to search through the Emoji.

      Thank you I didn’t notice that yet! Immediately reminds me of how the start menu works with the built in search bar.

      I shoulda known I was going to get a bunch of good tips back from posting this! 😆
