Gen X here and I memorized only 3 shortcuts: cut, copy, and paste

[–] JokeDeity@sh.itjust.works 14 points 9 hours ago (4 children)

I've gotta have my Ctrl+T and Ctrl+N and of course my Ctrl+W. And you KNOW I've got my Ctrl+Shift versions of everything, naturally. Oh man, and my Windows+Tab, how could I forget you?

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 hours ago

Windows+V

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 1 points 6 hours ago

Oh, I guess there is a fourth one I've memorized. Win + L to lock the computer at work.

I have no idea what ctrl+ T, N, or W do.

I can't count the times Ctrl+Shift+T has saved my browsers sessions. Or when I close a tab and 5 seconds later think, wait I needed that one.

Also je youtube player controls. J, K, L, etc. Got so annoyed by the video player not responding to spacebar because the video wasn't focused that I just stopped using the spacebar.

Youtube's controls are stupid. Left and right skip 5 seconds forward and backward respectively, and up and down adjust the volume.

However, if you've recently adjusted the volume slider with the mouse, then left and right ALSO adjust volume, and can't be used to skip forward/backward anymore until you unfocus the volume bar.

Yeah, those annoying people who need accessibility and navigate web pages via keyboard focus, they ruined YouTube controls for the rest of us.

Also win+space to switch from English to Japanese and back! And inside that, shift+caps to switch between kana and kanji, and romaji!

(I’m on Mint, but I changed the shortcuts to be Windows default because that’s what I’m used to. Still works great, sometimes I hamfist the wrong kanji in the sentence because I’m just not looking too closely, but I’ve seen native English speakers abuse the shit out of “your” and “there”.)

I definitely have a lot more I use, I just had an I Think You Should Leave sketch in my head and tried to do a shitty riff on it. 🤣
