Did you know about Windows+tab?

[Sycthus]

I may be about to make a complete fool of myself, but did you know about what happens when you have more than one window open and do it?

Most people will know about alt-tab, but with the windows key it its more fluid and animated, give it a try!

(P.S. if everybody knows about this and I'm just slow I do apologize. Simple pleasures for simple minds and all that.)

It's a nice eye-candy feature. I keep forgetting about it though.

I'm sure with time I'll use it more often.

You might like to try an addition to it. Hold the Ctrl and the Windows logo key and tab.

I think there is a thread somewhere on the site, specifically about shortcut keys. But for those who can detach themselves from the mouse (I'm a mouse addict) there are a whole renage listed in the "help an support" on windows 7. If you can remember them, there is little need for the mouse thereafter.

this is a neat trick but it is so fast what good is it or am i just doing it wrong

Hi carol - Welcome to w7forums

Holding the Windows key down and then pressing the tab will role the index one page at a time. If you hold the tab key down then the index will role until you let up one of the buttons.

Another option would be Holding the "Ctrl + Windows Key" then press "Tab". This will keep the index on the screen. You can then use the "Arrow Keys" or the Scroll on the Mouse" to go forward or backward. Once you have the selected page you want on top press "Enter" or "Click the Mouse".

- Hwhahwahwhahahh . I knew this a year ago . This was also in Windows Vista -

 

[davehc]

Your a champ. I knew many things, as did others, regarding Windows 7, a year ago.
The essence of forums such as this, is to pass the information on to others who have not had the opportunity of seeing either Vista or Windows 7 until now.
