Useful Windows/Browsers shortcuts and hotkeys

[Shiftyze]

I just learned recently that Ctrl+Shift+Esc brings up the Windows Task Manager instantly instead of doing Ctrl+Alt+Delete where now in Windows 7(Actually I believe it's been around since Windows 98) it asks you what you would like to do and then click on Windows Task Manager. Some of you may know this stuff others might not. Just want a thread where people post their own useful shortcuts and hotkeys for other forum members.

Probably widely known but just to add in more stuff others might not be aware, you can increase or decrease font when holding Ctrl and using the scroll on your mouse. Ctrl+0 makes it the default size.

Shift+Delete can delete an item permanently.

For Firefox, Ctrl+K goes to your search bar instantly.

Ctrl+Shift+P starts private browsing instantly.

Ctrl+Enter completes the .com address.

Command-option-left/right switches to the tab on your left or right in Chrome on Mac. Anyone know the Windows equivalent?

I believe you have to use the numpad for those, correct?

Control + T opens a new tab, saves a lot of time.
