Image transcription: a meme that reads"I wish windows had a universal hotkey to open linkedin on my default browser ctrl + shift + alt + win + L:" below is an image of Mercy from Overwatch holding her hand out in a gesture that suggests offering aid. End transcription.
Didnt belive it . Tried it . Confused. What were they thinking when they decide to make this
iirc Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Win is an alias for the Office key found on some Surface Pro computers, which can be used to open LinkedIn with Office + L
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Win is one of the most windows things that could happen. You just press some keys that should do nothing and boom, microsoft ad. I hope the EU version of windows will be stripped of that crap.
whispering give in, dualboot linux
My personal machines are all on linux already. But unfortunately my work laptop isn’t and won’t be unless I find a different job.
Then let’s hope for a better windows in Europe
Dual boot? Disgusting. Windows doesn’t get the privilege of bare metal in my house. It must relegated to a virtual machine
That’s good but some people use windows for
rootkitsgames that need bare metal or a more difficult vm setupVM gaming was a lot easier to setup than I expected. Anything is possible with the Arch Wiki! Some anticheats will block you though, so super competitive games like Counterstrike or Apex Legends are out
Ah, so that’s my ctrl+alt+shift+win opens the office app. I discovered that a couple of years ago and I couldn’t find it documented anywhere.
it’s for a special ma keyboard with shortcuts for ms apps.
somw keyboards have an Office key.wasn’t this part of a plan for a special keyboard with keys for some common websites?
Debian KDE has that same shortcut lmao
Just tested, no it doesn’t.
I think it’ll be added in plasma 6 then, idk I remember seeing a merge request about it
I really gotta see a source for that. No way that would be merged.
I mean, it’s be funny
mint better
It’s a key sequence by default: Win, l, i, n, k, e, d, i, n, Enter
Not if you turned off search results in the start menu.
By default 😹
There’s more:
- T: Teams
- Y: Yammer (whatever that is)
- O: Outlook
- P: PowerPoint
- D: OneDrive
- L: LinkedIn
- W: Word
- X: Excel
- N: OneNote
Yammer (now/soon called viva engage) is a weird social media service for internal usage inside a company.
I have no idea why it exists, but it does.
I’m not going to install Windows just to try this
Can verify, it works. Am horrified and baffled in equal measure.
LinkedIn lunatics eating good.
Question though: Does it ACTUALLY pick YOUR default browser, or does it pick their favourite browser?
it actually opens in the default browser
Wha-
My pet peeve is when companies add extra complexity to their products for very little benefit, or like this, actually make it worse. In this case they could have done nothing and the product would have been better for it.
Well, it’s a ‘feature’ on that one line of laptop. Besides it’s not like shortcuts performance suffer because of this, it’s merely an obscure ‘fun to know’.
Oh my God.
Wtf (you can do this with auto hotkey)
Break your fingerbones
Thank god!
Rage shortcut. Reminds me about
emerge --rage -C.
