Windows 8 Shortcut Keys
I recently upgraded my Dell XPS 13 to Windows 8 RTM. As most of you are probably aware, Windows 8's primary UI is significantly different than the "desktop" we're all used to working with. So I will be honest and say that it has taken some getting used to. One of the things that has helped greatly with adjusting are shortcut keys. I've started compiling a list of these below. If you find any are missing, please let me know and I will get them added.
