February 7, 2009 Windows 7 Tips

Windows 7 is introducing several new keyboard shortcuts that come in handy when managing open windows in the operating system. Most Windows 7 keyboard shortcuts imitate the behaviour when dragging and dropping windows in the new operating system.

Here is the list in case you prefer to use the keyboard instead of the mouse:-

[Windows Up] – Maximize window
[Windows Down] – Minimize windows / Restore
[Windows Left] – Dock window to the left side
[Windows Right] – Dock window to the right side
[Windows Shift Up] – Maximize vertical size of window
[Windows Shift Down] – Restore vertical size
[Windows Shift Left] – Move window to left monitor
[Windows Shift Right] – Move window to right monitor
