Lemmy

CTRL + SHIFT + V in Windows pastes without formatting

I can’t believe i never tried that. So much time wasted right-clicking and hitting values only.

I have no mouth and I must scream.

I can believe it: Stuff like this is not very well advertised to users so tons of useful shortcuts go unused regularly.

Bonus hotkeys:

WIN + X will also bring up a more helpful menu and allow you to do things like shut down, restart, sleep the computer using only a few keystrokes instead of clicking around.

WIN + right or left arrow will snap the screen to one side or the other, WIN + up maximizes, WIN + down will minimize

my company was paying a license for a tool to let them snag areas of the screen for screenshots, with quick tools to hilight or circle or add arrows to certain areas. an expensive license. more people than I care to admit we’re shocked when I showed them the windows snipping tool with win + shift + x
There's also Greenshot if people dislike the built in stuff, it's free, open source, and works pretty well.
Thanks for the rec! I’ll definitely suggest that but the head of our IT dept has a particular dislike for FOSS, due to past bad experiences, but I’ve been slowly whittling him down.
