I am posting this because I am ashamed I just found out it existed, and I thought I would subject the rest of my Beehaw friends to the same experience! 😁
The instructions are super simple, Windows Key + . (period) opens up a little overlay which contains Emojis, GIFs, Clipboard, and some other stuff I’m not sure is useful.
Ill end this post with a question for you all:
-What was something you learned about technology FAR later than you SHOULD have?
Good idea, get that tool over to a better shortcut ASAP! Thanks for the tip! Is that similar to using AutoHotKey or is it more of a different approach to remapping keys or shortcuts?
I believe it’s similar to AutoHotKey in that the app must be running for rebinding to work, but less complex in there is no advanced scripting I have found so far.
Microsoft PowerToys is basically a suite of small enhancements for Windows that Microsoft knows should be in Windows but for whatever reason can’t integrate directly into the OS yet (due to time, due to conflicts with other functions, who the heck knows). So they’re focused on being small Settings-esque quality of life improvements.
Oh I had no idea what that consisted of but now that you describe it, I think I’ll start running through each improvement and see if it might be useful for my daily workflows. Thank you!
