The Windows Key Shortcut Alphabet
In Windows 11, Microsoft uses shortcuts performed with the Windows key as universal shortcuts that work across all apps and control basic Windows functions. Some of these go as far back as Windows 95, but newer editions of Windows have changed a few over time. At least seven of these shortcuts are new to Windows 11.
Windows+A: Open Quick Settings
Windows+B: Focus on the first icon in the Taskbar system tray
Windows+C: Open Teams Chat
Windows+D: Display (and hide) the desktop
Windows+E: Open File Explorer
Windows+F: Open Feedback Hub
Windows+G: Open Xbox Game Bar
Windows+H: Open voice typing (speech dictation)
The full list
