What's your favorite keyboard shortcut?
I know most of us use keyboard shortcuts, but what's the one you use the most, or the one you consider your favorite, or even the one that you thank the heavens that it was ever conceived?
Click away, peeps

Re: What's your favorite keyboard shortcut?
I think that the most I use is alt + ctrl + del. Or alt + tab.
And the second one would probably be alt + F4.
Third would be ctrl + c, ctrl + v, or ctrl + x

Windows + M and Windows + Print Screen come in handy a lot.

Re: What's your favorite keyboard shortcut?
Out of those, I'd say I use alt-tab the most to minimize a game window.
I use copy and paste all the time, but those are binded to the side buttons on my mouse so I guess they don't count.

Re: What's your favorite keyboard shortcut?
When I was using my das's old computer it crashed every hour so I used ctrl+alt+delete a lot but now I have a new computer and it doesn't crash at all  (well, sometimes, but rarely). I made a shortcut to taskmanager in the start menu and I sometimes use ctrl+c, ctrl+x, ctrl+v, & ctrl+s when typing in word.

task manager all the way baby

FYI - also in most, not sure about all, cases CTRL-SHIFT-ESC does the same as CTRL-ALT-DEL

Re: What's your favorite keyboard shortcut?
[Win Key] + L :: Locks the PC, if a login is required - I use it all the time when someone disrupts my private moments
Other fav's
are Ctrl + Insert :: Copy (like Ctrl + C)
and Shift + Insert :: Paste (like Ctrl + V)
I use my right hand alot - hehe
I also like the ALT + [number pad] to get all those less common but frequently used symbols such as © (ALT + 0169)
But I think the Windows Lock is my fav, frustraits the SĦ1Ŧ out of my boss who likes to walk around my desk all the time to see what I am working on.
Hope these help someone get more out of thiere keyboard!
