@mttaggart@infosec.exchange @da_667@infosec.exchange @minka @cR0w@infosec.exchange Oh we're doing Windows shortcuts now? Sweet. I got a few.
My absolute favorite is to use 'shift' to cycle backwards through things.
So for example, tapping 'tab' while on a website will cycle through UI elements. But holding 'shift' and tapping 'tab' will cycle backwards through the same elements.
It applies to a ton of other shortcuts too.
Everyone knows alt+tab to cycle through the windows of running programs. Holding alt+shift and tapping 'tab' cycles backwards through the windows.
Also, holding 'ctrl' and tapping 'tab' cycles through the tabs in a web browser. Holding ctrl+shift and tapping 'tab' cycles backwards through open tabs.

@RecklessPush38671@infosec.exchange @mttaggart@infosec.exchange @da_667@infosec.exchange @minka @cR0w@infosec.exchange I'm still mad that Windows 11 24H2 broke Alt+Esc shortcut (it still moves active window to the bottom of the stack, but it doesn't change its position in the Alt+Tab dialog; they also removed the Win9x-style Alt+Tab dialog, but at least I was able to find a replacement for that).
