Hello John, Not sure if it was here that I got this link, but I will post it again anyway, I found it great. http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/30-new-hotkeys-for-windows-8/ However, the most valuable keystroke that I never knew about until recently is Windows Key + Right Arrow, or Windows Key + Left Arrow. I have a Dell 29 inch 2560 x 1080 monitor now and it is great for running two browsers on one screen.
