: Handy tricks/shortcuts
: 3vilp4wn May 12, 2013, 08:44:04 PM

I was wondering if anyone knows some useful shortcuts.  Here are some of the ones I use a lot:

Ctrl+Shift+T = Open that tab that you just closed. (Tested in Firefox)
Ctrl+Tab = Switch tabs. (Tested in Firefox)
Middle click OR Ctrl+click = Open link in new tab. (Tested in Firefox and IE)
Middle click while hovering over tab = Close tab. (Tested in Firefox and IE)
Ctrl+B = open bookmarks (Tested in Firefox)
Triple click = Select the whole line.
Windows key+R = quickly open a program. (Tested in Windows and Debian w/ XFCE)
Windows key+M = Minimize all windows. (Tested in Windows)
Alt+Tab = Switch windows. (Tested in Windows and Debian w/ XFCE)
Ctrl+Shift+Escape = Open task manager. (Tested in Windows)
Ctrl+A = Select all
Windows key+M, Ctrl+A, Enter = Fuck with people. (Tested in Windows, should work in Linux)

Anyone else know some useful shortcuts?  Try to keep it to standard applications and OS shortcuts.

Thanks,
3vilp4wn.

windows Key + Pause/Break key = display System Properties
Alt + Ctrl + Del keys = open task manager too
windows Key + L = quickly switch user
Ctrl + D = bookmark a page ( firefox )
Ctrl + U = open page source code ( firefox )
And Of course "F11" == Full page ( wide screen ) in Firefox

Why, what else but the infamous Alt+F4 (Close window)?

Alt + Ctrl + Del keys = open task manager too

It's worth noting that in some versions of windows, this will open a list of things you can do, with one of the options being task manager.

You usually need to manually bind the Ctrl+Alt+T terminal shortcut though, at least in Debian/Ubuntu-like distros.

Everything I mentioned is manual key binding except the tty shell. Also Mint and Ubuntu ctrl+alt+t bring up a shell for me right out of the box, no manual anything.
