    Keyboard Shortcuts in Windows 8

    Some of these are new, others are the same keyboard shortcuts we've known for years. Note that "charms" refer to an element of the Metro interface

    Win + Spacebar : Switch the input language and keyboard layout
    Win + C : Open the Charms
    Win + D : Show the desktop
    Win + E : open Windows Explorer
    Win + F : Open the Search panel
    Win + H : Open the Share charm
    Win + I : Open the Settings charm
    Win + K : Open the Connect charm
    Win + L : Lock the computer
    Win + O : Lock the screen rotation
    Win + Q : Open the search pane
    Win + R : Open run
    Win + V : Cycle through toasts
    Win + W : Opens the Settings search panel
    Win + Y : Peek at the desktop
    Win + Z : open the app bar
    Win + Shift + V : Reverse cycle through toasts
    Win + Enter : Launch the narrator
    Win + PgUp : Move tiles to the left
    Win + PgDn : Move tiles to the right
    Win + Shift + . : Move the split to the left
    Win + . : Move the split to the right

    Anyone else found more? Post them here.

    Thanks Mitchell, especially for the "Charms" shortcut. It was a pain getting my mouse gesture to open that little bugger.
    Regards
    Randy

    It is never my intent to sound abrupt or discourteous. Often I am just being as quick and succinct as possible, since I assume getting a fast response to your issues is as important to you as seeing your issue resolved is to me. I apologize in advance for any unintended hurt. Best regards Randy.
