You can make the CMD window transparency stick. Just right click the titlebar, select properties/colors and set the opacity using the slider.

If you want to screenshot the active window you can just press ALT+PRTSC and not have to use the snipping tool for this purpose

I know why they disabled "window shake". It's because some people (including me) do sometimes shake their windows without the intention to minimise something. I like that they disabled it.

Alt+tab and delete was something new - thumbs up

For folks who have dual monitors, you can easily move the active window to the other monitor and back again by pressing the Windows key and Shift and then tap the left or right arrow key to pop the window to the other monitor. The other tips I already knew but don't really use much. Thanks for another good video.

Okay, i knew about the snip tool windows/prnt sdr , windows/shft/S and the deep clipboard, and im a Task Mgr and God Mode wizard, i use the TM all the time... i did NOT know about the shake, or the middle mouse button or the fade terminal opaqueness, that red line dazzler made me an epi lept tick

Can't believe I've never noticed all the neat extra component info in the task manager via mousing over them before. Good stuff.

Not only can you open new tabs and windows with middle mouse button, you can also close tabs and windows with the middle mouse button 👍

I didn’t know CMD had builtin transparency. I started using Autohotkey a few years ago and with it you can set the transparency of each window and make them always on top of other windows (task manager has always on top built in)

In the task manager, performance tab, if you double click on the meters on the left, it will shrink the window size to fit just those meters

Win + E opens File Explorer. I learnt that one back when WinXP was a thing and it’s probably my most used shortcut

Win + (1-0) will open the app in your taskbar corresponding to that number

Right click and drag to select copy/move is very cool. I use that one all the time. You can also click+drag while holding Ctrl, shift, or Alt to force Copy, Move, Create Shortcut.
Snipping tool is very helpful. If you want just the active window, you can also press Alt+Print Screen and you will get just the active window. There is an option in the Snipping tool for this as well.
Shortcut for Task Manager (I learned about this a couple months ago and kick myself for not knowing this one) is to press Ctrl+Shift+Esc. What a time saver!
Alt+Tab is something I would not want to live without. You can also use Windows+Tab for a slightly different way to see what you have going.
Your YouTube tip was both cool and useless as you said. Thank you for sharing. I am very old school and love keyboard shortcuts. There are so many that I won't list them here and it could be an entire video! Back in Windows 95, Microsoft introduced a new set of Cut/Copy/Paste keys that are still there and even some Microsoft applications don't recognize while most apps to. They are Ctrl+Ins (copy), Ctrl+Del (delete), Shift+Ins (paste), Shift+Del (cut). Why would anyone ever want to use these? I use them 99% of the time for cut/copy/paste. The only times I don't is when they do not work. I use them because I mouse, or to be more accurate, trackball, with my left hand. This leaves my right hand free to use the numeric keypad which was very handy while doing some CAD stuff back in the day. Using these alternate cut/copy/paste keys allows me to use my right hand for those functions.
If you ever do a keyboard shortcut video, I would be glad to send you all of the ones I have in my notes and I can try to add to that all of the ones I just use and are not hard coded in my brain.
This was a great video! Thank you for taking the time to put it together. Also nice to see another YouTuber using the same screen capture method that I use. 🙂

I loved this video. Thank you!
So on the youtube tip: I discovered that if you just type: not, the screen will change to theater mode and viceverse, if you type: cool, the video will go forward 10 secs and if you type: back the video will pause lol. I tried all that while watching the last part of your video.

Did not know the windows shake tip. Thanks!

Windows 10 Control Panel Shortcut - left click on Start, scroll all the way down through programs (I refuse to refer to them as Apps🙄) to "Windows System", expand, and there's a Control Panel Shortcut, right click for options or drag it to copy to your desktop. There's also lots of other useful shortcuts in there & also in "Windows Admin Tools".

Windows key + D, minimises all your open windows & takes you straight to you Desktop, and back again if needed.

Hope someone might find those useful 🙂

The translucent terminal is something new to me, and I'm definitely going to use it 👍

Ctrl + Alt + Tab achieves the same as Alt + Tab, but it locks on the overlay so you don't need to hold down on the keys.

In addition to Windows + V that same applet also has emojis and unicode faces (can also be summoned with Win + .).

For instant search, just press the Windows key, it will summon the start menu and anything typed will automatically be imputed into the search. Seriously Microsoft needs to to faffing about and wasting precious time with the extra search bar, as the search has been integrated into the start menu since it's adoption in Windows 7.

For hiding icons.. I have a folder on my desktop I Named "Stuff I use" and I use it to store programs I use almost daily when working on computers This is how to do it R-click on the folder Click Properties/Customize Then Click Change icon. Search pick one of them listed or you can find one online (that you like and download it) I personally make my own custom icons and use them..
I am also a computer tech and doing that on one click you have all the programs you need when working through my own computer, I also have subfolders named for what ever the programs are for.. I have a SDD in a hardcase with the same subfiles, I just plug it into the computer I am working in and everything is there, including working notes and some videos to refresh my memory..
I just recently was told about the Control Prompt trick about 2 days ago It also works on Powershell.. Love the new tab tip, I normally hold the control button and click on what I want in a new tab.. Very cool.. Most of the rest I knew, but the bonus, I knew of it, My grandkids use it all the time, It should have a warning, it causes some people to have full blown seizures. For me if gives me a bad headache and makes it hard for my eyes to focus..
Except for the bonus, I enjoyed it and most of them.. also on the screen shot, my main computer won't let me size it, just sends it to pictures.. Thank you for sharing.. Sorry for rambling on so..
