A Full List of Windows 8 Hotkeys

Windows 8 Hotkeys List

The new Windows 8 interface leaves many of us left in a state of perplexity. This list of keyboard shortcuts should help us in this new age of touching, tapping, swiping, pinching, and all the other things that have strange suggestive names.

To use the following list, simply hold down the Windows Logo Key and press the key (or key combination) in the left column to see the results in the right column.

I hope this will help you navigate the new-fangled Windows 8 interface with ease.

If you have any suggestions, or additions to this list, please let us know!
