          Super?

          Edit: Nevermind. Google answered. It’s the Windows key, at least for a Windows computer.

            Unless you’re on windows it doesn’t make sense to call it “windows key” so on linux we call it super or meta key most of the time

            Fuck me, that’s a tip and a half! I love keyboard shortcuts!

      Super+F -> Firefox
      Super+R -> Terminal
      Super+E -> File Manager
      Super+X -> Note-taking program

        Holy shit why did I never do this before.

        I tried Linux and all the keybinding was a lot of fun, I gotta do it more with windows. I built my own specialized keyboard for inputting chords when I’m writing lyric sheets and I set CTRL+Tab as the keybind to switch between that and QWERTY.

          I do composing, too, and I’ve written my fair share of shoddy scripts to automate tasks, but changing up the whole keyboard layout for a task, that’s the sort of madness I aspire to. 🙃

            I actually think this is slightly out of date, I combined Aug and dim into its own key with Shift for Alt, and maybe for flat/sharp, too?

          Yeah, I had it on Super+T at first, too, but I have the command/application/everything runner bound to Super+Esc and I open a lot of terminal windows throughout the day, so I re-bound it to Super+R just because it’s slightly easier to reach.

    I pin things on the taskbar if it’ll help me make an offensive word. Adobe and Microsoft app icons really help open up the Scrabble board.

      Wait till you hear about a direct launch hotkey in your window manager

          That’s nothing, I use a magnetized needle and a steady hand.

            Pffsh, that’s baby mode, I use butterflies by releasing them at just the right time to cause the air currents to change just right to cause a solar ray to pass through the atmosphere and flip the bit I want to flip. It is a bit trickier with error correcting memory…

    With a 4k monitor and small icons you can fit tons on your taskbar. It’s how I roll and it’s no honor. I don’t pin games there though, that’s what steam is for. Steam isn’t even on my taskbar, it’s in the system tray/active notification spot in the corner.

      The first ten are still somewhat more important since you can access them via Win+1, Win+2 and so on.

        Bold of you to assume that Steam isn’t one of the select few softwares that I actually allow to run on startup

        (Personally I still pinned it though because that way, its icon is always in the same place in my taskbar)
