Not knowing Ctrl+shift+esc opens the task manager is one thing, but copy and paste should be taught in school.

I still haven’t grown out of my ctrl + alt + del habit

Step 1: get a 60% keyboard
Step 2: don't learn where the "delete" key is
Step 3: change the keycaps so you can't even look at the keyboard to see where it is
Step 4: ???
Step 5: profit!

The best shortcut like that is win+X it opens a quick menu with stuff like Powershell, task manager, device manager, and a bunch of other admin stuff.

You can also right click the window icon to open the menu.

I right click the start menu more than I open it normally.

[–] maniclucky@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

My fingers have that plus the correct directional keys memorized to put my computer to sleep.

Wut. 😮

Thank you for this.

My lazy ass sometimes doesn't feel like moving the left hand so I just use the mouse.

Ctrl+shift+esc was so useful back when I learned it. I still see people press ctrl+alt+del and click to open task manager. Or alternatively (but not as bad imo) right clicking on the start button and selecting to open task manager

TIL

Win+X opens the same menu.

[–] ArtificialLink@lemy.lol 2 points 3 weeks ago

It doesn't physically interrupt the system like ctrl alt delete does.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 1 points 3 weeks ago

I still sometimes hit ctrl/alt/del to open the task manager if I'm not thinking.

Too many years of doing that when I was younger and it only brought up the task manager.

[–] spookex@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

You don't even have to do it on the start button, any empty spot in the taskbar works

[–] bl_r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

I used to know this shortcut, but it was one of the many that I forgot after moving to linux.

Thanks for the refresher! I’ll probably get use of this on my work laptop
