I've found by installing Win10, I can go back in time. Based on boot time and usability, I'm back to about 2005 now. I'm expecting to go a bit further back once I "upgrade" to Win11.

have you tried ALT+F4?!

|

Ctrl-F4 is handy for closing tabs

I some times zoom/magnify my Outlook window.
Maybe mouse wheel or something on the ten key?
I wish I knew the reverse. I always have to dig through the ribbons to undo it.

Maybe it's ctrl + mouse wheel? Or ctrl and the + key? Ctrl - should undo it. With Web browsers ctrl + 0 usually resets it to the default zoom level.

|
Control+ zooms in, control- zooms out, control0 returns to 'normal'

You need a cat. Cats are great at finding keyboard shortcuts.

Sometimes the discoveries are found the hard way.
I use (not by choice) WebStorm as my IDE. To push the code to the host, the shortcut is <ctrl><alt>U.
I found out after my changes did not seem to change anything and after I uploaded again, it complained that some variable was was undefined.
It seems that <ctrl><shift>U toggles the case of word at the cursor between upper & lower.
Nothing succeeds like a budgie without teeth.

Many moons ago I was working at the command prompt. My keyboard fell into a drawer and the edge of the desk hit F7. What appeared was a selectable list of my prior commands. That ended up being pretty handy.
One day, while motor touring in France, we took a wrong turn. It cut a few km off the route to our destination and we got to see some interesting neighborhoods.

Not sure we are limited to VS Shortcuts?
I just installed Firefox and do not want to search from the address bar.
So I discovered that if I change the home page view to this URL DuckDuckGo — Privacy, simplified.[^]
I get what I want but the Pocket Shortcuts are removed OK
So I created a Bookmark named it Firefox Pocket and gave it his URL about:home.
Added the letter "H" to the keyword field. Now just enter H in the address bar and press ENTER
and presto magic my Pocket shortcuts show up.
As for VS my favorite is F9 and F7

My keyboard has some shortcut that swaps ASDF for the Arrow keys and vice versa. In-game I hit it often enough to screw up my match and infrequent enough that I can't remember how to undo it! ARGGGG, disable shortcuts by default ppl!!! Let advanced users find them on their own.

Undo in region. I use emacs as exclusively as I can. ("Region" is emacs-speak for selection.) C-x C-u is convert to upper case, but I once left out the second C and discovered I could undo changes to just a segment of my file and ignore more recent changes to somewhere else in the file. Now it's on my top 5 reasons to use emacs when someone asks.

And what about the middle mouse button that closes the tabs?
It's not a real shortcut, but it's really useful and time-saving.
It also works with the Chrome and Edge tabs.

I use that often. It behaves differently in Firefox, which is annoying.
Middle click in Windows Taskbar opens a new program instance. They've taken it away in Windows 11

I have decided to learn Python. Those of you that use it, did you use a book to teach yourself, and if so, which one do you recommend?

I think there used to be a collection of all their scripts. It may be out of print now though.
