    Yes! Someone saw me add 😎 to a document I was grading once and it blew their mind. “Wait! What did you just do? How did you get that menu?” I try to teach people, but they almost never remember. They praise me for my navigation skills, but they don’t care to learn basic stuff like alt+tab/shift+alt+tab/win+tab.

      Fun thing about the switch apps forward/backwards keys is shifted tab is back tab, so alt+tab is switch forward and alt+back tab is switch backwards

      So useful when switching back and forth between two programs

      I feel like shortcut knowledge is more about willingness to explore the machine than generations. I’m gen X.

        I’m a regular Windows and Linux user, but am using OSX for a work project. I can’t figure out the windows switching shortcut keys there. (This is from memory since I’m not on OSX right now) Command-Tab switches between Applications, but not separate instances of applications. Anyone know the shortcut key for that one or if there is a separate key combo to mimic Windows or Gnome?
