Has anyone ever tried to invent a cat-shield for a laptop keyboard? And maybe an optional project-screen-onto-cat feature that would help when he's blocking that?
Dean Kamen, Elon Musk, Tony Stark - did they think of anything so handy?

I've got a really effective cat shield. Two pit pulls outside and a Shih-Tzu inside. Never have problems with cats on my keyboard, or anywhere else for that matter.

I accidentally discovered that F11 in Chrome switches it to full screen. And only F11 will switch it back out of full screen. ESC doesn't do it!
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

In most Windows browsers Edge shows a notification on how to switch back, but I think I've been stuck in full screen with Firefox before.
|
|
|
|
|
Grandma finds this one all the time. Half my phone calls with her include the phrase "F11".
|
|
|
|
|
Isn't that a standard key for full screen? Firefox, Vivaldi, VLC, Featherpad, MPC-HC and many others use it.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes it is. But she only uses Chrome, so there you go.
Being 91 means you already have a lot to remember already.

Heh, I understand. My wifey has problems remembering ctrl-c, ctrl-v.

For Visual Studio 2017/2019, there's this handy extension[^] which shows you the shortcut assigned to any commands you don't invoke from a shortcut.
(The VS2022 version is on the todo list[^].)

Cool, looks nice. I'll need to install that one once VS2022 support is done.

Having a PC that can actually time travel would be amazing, both good and bad.

Mine does, but only forward and only one second at a time :P

I've found by installing Win10, I can go back in time. Based on boot time and usability, I'm back to about 2005 now. I'm expecting to go a bit further back once I "upgrade" to Win11.

have you tried ALT+F4?!

Ctrl-F4 is handy for closing tabs

I some times zoom/magnify my Outlook window.
Maybe mouse wheel or something on the ten key?
I wish I knew the reverse. I always have to dig through the ribbons to undo it.
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe it's ctrl + mouse wheel? Or ctrl and the + key? Ctrl - should undo it. With Web browsers ctrl + 0 usually resets it to the default zoom level.
|
|
|
|
|
Control+ zooms in, control- zooms out, control0 returns to 'normal'

You need a cat. Cats are great at finding keyboard shortcuts.
|
|
|
|
|
Sometimes the discoveries are found the hard way.
I use (not by choice) WebStorm as my IDE. To push the code to the host, the shortcut is <ctrl><alt>U.
I found out after my changes did not seem to change anything and after I uploaded again, it complained that some variable was was undefined.
It seems that <ctrl><shift>U toggles the case of word at the cursor between upper & lower.
Nothing succeeds like a budgie without teeth.

Many moons ago I was working at the command prompt. My keyboard fell into a drawer and the edge of the desk hit F7. What appeared was a selectable list of my prior commands. That ended up being pretty handy.
One day, while motor touring in France, we took a wrong turn. It cut a few km off the route to our destination and we got to see some interesting neighborhoods.

Not sure we are limited to VS Shortcuts?
I just installed Firefox and do not want to search from the address bar.
So I discovered that if I change the home page view to this URL DuckDuckGo — Privacy, simplified.[^]
I get what I want but the Pocket Shortcuts are removed OK
So I created a Bookmark named it Firefox Pocket and gave it his URL about:home.
Added the letter "H" to the keyword field. Now just enter H in the address bar and press ENTER
and presto magic my Pocket shortcuts show up.
As for VS my favorite is F9 and F7
