Very very cool. As a longtime Windows keyboarder, even I didn't know that
one.
For anyone who missed the thread some time back, here are some more:
Win+D = show desktop; toggles to 'restore all windows'
Win+E = open Windows Explorer
Win+F = find (or search)
Win+H = onscreen keyboard
Win+M = minimize all windows
Win+R = run (same as Win, then 'R')
Win+U = accessibility utilities
Ìf you don't have a Windows key on your keyboard, you can access the 'Start'
button with CTRL+ESC. Sadly, this won't emulate the Windows key in the above
combination.
