So this is curious... in Leisure_Shoot's post, the image is reduced by maybe 50%. Clicking on the link (as above) brings up the full-size image. A quick View-Source for the post doesn't show any image scaling happening in the client. Anyone else seeing this? Quote HistoryQuoted:

not windows-specific, but you'd be amazed how many people who don't know that you can scroll through text fields by hitting tab instead of pointing and clicking.
watched a buddy laboriously complete a field, then point-and-click to the next one, and repeat all the way through a form. i then showed him the tab key. he thought i was a wizard. |

Quick Find allows you to search the code of one or more open documents for a string or expression. The selection moves from match to match, allowing you to review each match in its surrounding context.

I like the drag to corner auto size feature. You can click and hold the top center of a window and drag it to the bottom left or right corners of the screen. The window will automatically size to 50% of the screen. You can then do the same with another window to the opposite corner. Its a fast way to size windows to take notes or compare data.

For example <Ctrl+W> closes the current Tab only. <Shift+Ctrl+W> closes all tabs. If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel that you can nudge left and right as additional buttons, they are usually defaulted to Zoom In and Zoom out. I change those to Browser Back and Browser Forward. This is a really handy way to go back to the previous web page when surfing the web, and especially forums. |

I'm suprised so many people like the snipping tool. I couldn't stand it since you can't print without saving the image or copying and pasting into another program. I went with another program for screenshots.
Perhaps W8 is different. |

It's simple since the snip is automatically stored in the clipboard (no need to copy) ready to be pasted somewhere. I use Irfanview for pictures. |

I use the 'snap' feature all the fucking time but it's not so obscure. Perhaps the fact I tweak the every-living shit out of my Windows, (turning of services, increasing pagefiles, registry clean-up, etc.)
Windows is not a bad OS, the myriad of shit 3rd party drivers and software is the real issue(s.) Try to stick to native Windows drivers if you can. |
