Windows 10 shortcut keys (Windows Logo Key)

In Windows 10, the allocation of the shortcut keys used by the system has been changed.This time, I will explain the shortcut keys that use the Windows logo key (hereinafter abbreviated as Win keys).

In Windows 8, the assignment has been changed for the key used for shortcuts that use the Win key together.This was to respond to new charms and modern UI environments.

In Windows 10, the charm has been abolished and tablet mode has been newly established.For this reason, the function assignment is also performed even in the shortcut key that uses the Win key together.

In Windows 8, there were some shortcut keys that switched from a modern UI environment to the desktop environment due to the shortcut keys because the functions were for desktop environment.For example, "[Win]+m" minimizes the window of all desktop apps, but when the store app starts and is in a modern UI environment, using this shortcut key to switch to the desktop environment.I was.

On the other hand, in Windows 10, there are shortcut keys that are not valid in tablet mode, but there is no shortcut key that changes meaning.One is that all apps can be executed regardless of mode.In Windows 8, the applications that can be executed differently depending on the environment, so it was necessary to switch and execute the environment.For example, in "[Win]+[Ctrl]+[f]", a search window for the domain is displayed, but since this was a desktop app, in Windows 8, when running in a modern UI environment.Was forced to switch to the desktop environment.However, in Windows 10 tablet mode, all apps are now displayed on the full screen, so the domain search screen is simply displayed on the full screen.In Windows 10, it seems that shortcuts do not cause transitions between tablet mode and desktop mode.

In addition, some shortcuts have been abolished, with the abolition of the charm, but some shortcut keys are effective shortcut keys for app only when the Windows 8 Store App is executed.increase.Originally, the shortcut key is defined by the system that gives instructions to the system (for example, displaying a desktop with Win+D), but what is performed on the app (for example, the operation (for example, the app.There is a Ctrl+V paste, etc.).Until Windows 8, it seems that the function for the charm system was dedicated to the old store app in Windows 10.

Even the same functions as Windows 8 have some differences in the operation due to the change in Windows 10 specifications.For example, in Windows 8, the functions registered in the N icon of the taskbar with "[Win]+numbers", but in Windows 10 tablet mode, you can set whether to display the app icon in the taskbar.It has come to be like.This shortcut key is valid when the app icon is displayed, but it does not work when the app icon is turned off.

The new shortcut keys include:

There are three shortcut keys for virtual desktops, and you can create, end, and move virtual desktops.In addition, you can move between virtual desktops by opening a task view with [Win]+[Tab] and using a cursor key.

"Game Bar" is used by Windows 10 Xbox apps, and can be used as a function such as recording the screen during the game.You can start any app while running.

In Windows 10 desktop mode, you can make the window size half vertically when the window is displayed in either the left and right half of the left and right in an aero slap.The control can be done with [Win]+↑/↓.However, in the Build 10162 of Windows Insider Preview, the shortcut key does not work, including [Win]+→/← in tablet mode.In Windows 8, it was also working in a modern UI environment, so it probably didn't implement it.

Figure 1 summarizes the operation of Windows 10 and Windows 8 of shortcut keys that combine a Win key..1.In this table, the colored items are those that have been added to Windows 10 or the functions have been abolished.Looking at this, there are many changes in functions, but there are many things related to modern UI environments, and many changes are likely to be a major use.
