    Memorize keyboard shortcuts for Windows 8? But wasn't Windows 8 supposed to be simpler and easier to use? You know, to help build a technological idiocracy.

  • A rather simple one that I use all the time is ctrl+enter in web browsers to automatically add www. and .com to the domain name.

    Anyways, I find the shortcut articles quite ironic. Go back 25 years to the DOS days of computing, when Windows first started showing up. Us die hard users were resistant to using Windows, because it took out most the shortcuts which allowed you to be much quicker and productive, and instead gave us a simple to use mouse based interface. Now 25 years later, we are being taught to use shortcuts again.
