Are there any cool shortcuts in windows that helped you out a lot. I want to see if there are any cool ones that can help me out. When I learned about shift tab and windows button d they were lifesavers.

Shift+Print Screen Windows+Shift+S is awesome. Instead of the normal printscreen, which just copies your entire view to your clipboard, with this combination of keys you can select what part of the screen you want in your clipboard (kinda like what snipping tool can do).

I found this one so helpful, I programmed it (using AutoHotkey) to be the default action, when I press Print Screen.

 

Otherwise, I like Ctrl+Shift+T, but that is not really a Windows shortcut; rather a browser shortcut (to easily open the last closed webpage).

i never knew the printscreen copies it to the clipboard. I knew that windows button and prntscreen saves a screenshot. shift printscreen doesn't work for me. But i searched it up and windows button shift s works and it does the same function.

Shoot, sorry. I meant that indeed..

It has been quite a while since I set up that shortcut, I didn't even remember it off the top of my head.

 

How I did this in the past was just pressing Print screen, pasting it in paint, selecting what I want to have copied and just pasting that where ever or uploading it.. etc.
