After the new update, in windows 11 the creation of a shortcut to my desktop ( icon ) is no longer to be found when I open the three dots? How do I create a shortcut icon on my laptop?

What is the Short cut Key for play pause so I can hear my screen reader while getting to the skip add button

One of the first things I did, other than setting up folders for the perfect workflow was to look at and bookmark/shortcut a readme file containing all windows shortcuts. I also have a separate document trying them out and making usage notes on the ones i like and how they are useful to me; because I'm forgetful. Another one I like is 'switching bt custom desktops'. I am setting up different ones for gaming, writing, multimedia editing and so on!!!
