Win7 Keyboard shortcuts, tricks, pranks...
Written by: tzzsmk - 14:14 Aug-01-2012

I decided to make this blog, because I'm getting bored of mouses:D

Here I will add links and write some very useful keyboard shortcuts that might help everyone in faster working/gaming :D

windows7 official shortcuts page

I will add more shortcuts, and also howto write special characters...

Finally I found best way to find out howto type special characters on keybard, as far as it's different in each lang.:

search for on-screen-keybard in windows and if you press Shift or Alt on it, it immediately shows what characters will be typed!

example: \|€$&@#{}<>ß÷×^~ˇ°˘˛˙¨¤% :)

I recommend checking that site to everyone (there are in-built submenus for exact keyboard shortcuts:)

That's nothing :D
When we were practicing server maintenance in school, we installed Ubuntu.
There's a setting that allows the OS to go to sleep after a certain time.
I set the time to 0.5 seconds so every time the teacher put the PC on, he had 0.5 seconds to disable the sleep timer or it would go to sleep :D :D
Pretty epic, he had to re-install the OS ;)
