[Marcus11]

Everyone knows Ctrl+C and Ctrl+Z. Looking for the ones that are not obvious. Cross-platform is fine, Windows, Mac or Linux specific is fine too. Browser, OS, or specific app shortcuts all welcome. What is the one that makes people say 'how did you do that' when they see it?

Win+V on Windows opens clipboard history. You can paste from anything you copied in the last session, not just the last thing. Life-changing for anyone who copies a lot

[Slate Mike]

Ctrl+Shift+T in any browser reopens the last closed tab. Works across Chrome, Firefox and Edge. Saves me every single day

[SortedMate]

Alt+D in any browser jumps focus to the address bar so you can type a new URL immediately. Faster than clicking

[Ellie_28]

F2 to rename files in Windows Explorer without right-clicking. Combine with Tab to jump to the next file. Renaming batches of files in seconds

[Red Builder]

Ctrl+L in most Linux file managers jumps to the path bar for typing a location directly. Stops you having to click through directories

[StringTheory97]

Middle-click to close tabs in a browser. Works in Firefox, Chrome and Edge. Also middle-click a link to open it in a new tab in the background

Ctrl+Shift+Esc goes directly to Task Manager in Windows, skipping the Ctrl+Alt+Del menu entirely
