Windows 11 introduces new keyboard shortcuts that simplify navigation and enhance user productivity, particularly on laptops without a mouse.
Shortcut Features and Benefits
Among the most useful shortcuts, pressing Win + D minimizes all open windows to access the desktop quickly. With another press, windows can be restored, offering a quick organizational tool.
The Snipping Tool in Windows 11 now includes Text Actions, which leverages AI to recognize text in images. Users can extract and copy text, arrange it in tables, or redact sensitive information.
Viewing and Magnifying Tools
The Magnifier shortcut, activated with Win + Plus and Win + Minus, allows users to zoom in and out on the screen, accommodating detailed examination with up to 1600% enlargement. An added feature reads selected text aloud, aiding accessibility.
For quick access to recently copied items, Win + V opens clipboard history. It maintains up to 25 items, streamlining the process of locating previous entries such as text and screenshots.
