Today I rediscovered how to get a screen shot for a particular application window using the Print Screen key.  If you hit the Print Screen you get a screen shot of the whole desktop.  If you you hit <b>Alt + Print Screen<\/b> you get a nicely cropped screen shot of the current application window.  Here are other favorite Windows key shortcuts.  Hit <b>Alt + Tab<\/b> to see all icons for all opened applications.  To change focus to a different application hit Tab again until the application of interest is highlighted while still holding down the Alt key.  Hit <b>Start + D<\/b> to toggle between the cluttered\/clean desktop.  Hit <b>Start + E<\/b> to open a new Windows Explorer.  Hit <b>Alt + F4<\/b> to exit the current application.  <b>Ctrl + F4<\/b> usually closes  the current application window (I have seen some applications that don&#8217;t observe this key combination).  Knowing key shortcuts will make you a more productive developer.<\/p>\n<p>Technorati Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/shortcut\" rel=\"tag\">shortcut<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/hot+key\" rel=\"tag\"> hot key<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/windows\" rel=\"tag\"> windows<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/productivity\" rel=\"tag\"> productivity<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/lifehack\" rel=\"tag\"> lifehack<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this year I wrote about discovering the purpose of the F11 key on OS X.
