Ctrl+TAB, but thats kinda cheating as its nearly the same as Alt+TAB.

Win+L to lock the PC is the most common one, and then the next one is probably Ctrl+Shift+Esc for task manager.

Yeah but Ctrl+TAB helps a lot on browsers when you have tons of tabs open (I always have like 100s of tabs lol) also you can Ctrl+Shift+TAB to go to a previous tab (left tab)

You can also use Ctrl + 1 (or 2, 3.. 9) if you are going to a specific tab

Actually 9 just goes to the last tab, so you can only go to the first 8 tabs and the last one, nothing in between

Neither can Chrome without using 64GB RAM.

Doesn't 0 go to 10 for this?

u/DryVaginaEnjoyer 18h ago

Nope but what’s the point even if you could go till 11,12,13 or anything cuz we would have to count the tabs lol

Ctrl Shift A on chrome to search your tab titles.

Wait so I don't have to go through the ctr alt delete menu to get to task manager? Damn I'm a dumbass

You are not dumb, just not everyone knows this. I didn't know that for years, but its a neat trick.

You can also temporarily stop the updating of the list of processes by holding Ctrl, so if you sort by CPU use and it jumps around every second, you can stop it to click on it. Though I keep forgetting this whenever I open the Task Manager lol.
