Keyboard shortcuts are timesavers. But, to be useful they have to be memorized. For most of us, that limits the number we will regularly use. The three we have all committed to memory are Ctrl + C (Copy), Ctrl + X (Cut) and Ctrl + V (Paste).

12 Windows Key Shortcuts I Use Every Day from How-to Geek includes several useful keyboard shortcuts that are launched by using the Windows key.

The ones you will likely find most immediately useful are:

Win+E: Open File Explorer

Win+i: Open Settings

Win+V: Open Clipboard History

The one that I apparently have never used is:

Win+Period (.): Insert Emojis and GIF’s

My Emoji game is weak. So, I’m going to try to memorize and use this one.

Read the post and see what Windows keyboard shortcuts you need to incorporate into your daily routine.
