#Caturday guide to Windows keyboard shortcuts for programmers

Windows Key + D = I have a cat and am stepping away from my code for 30 seconds

Windows Key + L = I have a cat and am stepping away from my code for 30 seconds to 1 hour

Windows Key + X = I have a cat, my case has a top mounted power button, and I'm stepping away from my code for more than 15 minutes.

@bitflipped While I've known about D and L for a while now, what does Win+X do in relation to the power button?

On my Win11 PC, it opens the Quick Link menu. Does that menu disable the power button by being open?

Thanks for sharing knowledge and I plan to share these at my work as well lol.

@KnittedMushroom it gives you the shutdown quick menu before your cat stands on the power button and takes matters into its own hands 😅
