Ass a die-hard Windows 7 addict i’m surely know all inside-outs of the system. That is why today i’d like to share some hotkeys knowledge with all of you. Keyboard shortcuts are one of the most important things in professional workflow. Some of hotkeys are quite generic and you can find them in official manual, but other are rather obscure and can be completely unknown. Hope that everyone of you’ll find something useful here.

UPDATED ON: 2023-11-03 All keyboard hacks and tweaks will be posted here. Stay tuned for more goodies! THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THIS LITTLE ACCUMULATION IS TO REMOVE MOUSE FROM CODING WORKFLOW. Remember to separate rules with comas. Like this: [ { "key": "alt+numpad_subtract", "command": "workbench.action.decreaseViewSize" }, { "key": "alt+numpad_add", "command": "workbench.action.increaseViewSize" }, { "key": "ctrl+shift+b", "command": "workbench.action.toggleActivityBarVisibility" } ] Last rule-set do not contain coma symbol in the end.

If you are a long term reader/visitor of my site you may already know that i am using following keyboards: Japanese [Topre Realforce RGB] [rubber-dome capacitive key switches] Chinese [Vortex Race III] [clicky blue Cherry-MX key switches] Chinese [Vortex Tab90M] [clicky blue Cherry-MX key switches] Thailand [IBM KB-8926] [quite good rubber-dome key switches] Note: board from 1996 in mind condition, using it on my job. And now i’ve decided to give a shot to top end keyboard of Keychron brand.

Some time ago i told you about awesome [Vortex Race III] keyboard. During the last month of my workflows i’ve noticed that desperately feel the lack of numpad and other extended keys, which are common for full sized keyboards. After not so long thinking i’ve decided to switch keyboard. Yesterday i’ve received full-sized, but still compact [Vortex TAB90M] keyboard, based around the same Cherry Blue MX switches. Build quality is rock solid.

Just would like to showcase piece of brilliant mechanical keyboard of the past. Chyrosran22 one of the coolest YT mechanical keyboards reviewers counts it as the [best mechanical keyboard experience ever] . Imagery by spacedrone808

Previously i was adept of japanese keyboard [Topre RealForce RGB] . Device relies on high-end rubber-dome capacitive key switches, which distinguish Realforce from generic rubber-dome keyboards. Solid construction is also included. However double shot ABS keycaps were not so durable in the long run of almost two years of heavy typing. So, i’ve decided to switch to something more reliable and compact. My search brought me to [Vortex Race III RGB] .
