    Windows-Ctrl-d shortcut


    I saw a few questions on the Windows-Ctrl-d shortcut, with nonsatisfying answers. This shortcut creates a "virtual desktop." You get another instantiation of your desktop, but all your open programs and their taskbar icons have disappeared! And you can't get back to them with Alt-Tab. However, contrary to what one or two questioners assumed, the shortcut only APPEARS to close your open programs. Your original instantiation of the desktop and the open programs associated with it do still exist.See https://www.windowscentral.com/best-windows-10-keyboard-shortcuts for a master list of s

  2. Windows key + Ctrl + D - can I delete this shortcut?

    I am a court reporter, and one of the main editing functions in my reporting software is Ctrl + D. However, a lot of times I accidentally press the Windows key + Ctrl + D since the Windows key and Ctrl are right next to each other on my keyboard. But when
    this happens, it shuts my reporting software down. Then when I open it back up and go to the file I was working on, it gives me an error message saying it can't open the file in read-only mode or something similar to that. And the only way I can get back to
    that file is to restart my computer.

    I understand the keyboard shortcut (Windows key + Ctrl + D) is a new one for Windows 10. Is there any way to delete this shortcut?

    Thanks in advance!

    How to delete shortcut Ctrl + Shift?

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    For better clarity, please help us with the details requested below:



    • Have you assigned the “Ctrl + Shift” shortcut for any application?


    Ideally, the shortcut Ctrl + Shift is used to switch the keyboard layout when multiple keyboard layouts are available. If you have assigned the shortcut for a keyboard layout, you may try changing it by following the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows Logo key + I, to open
      Settings.
    2. Click on Devices and select
      Typing
      on the left pane.
    3. Scroll down and select Advanced keyboard settings.
    4. Click on Input language hot keys.
    5. Select the layout for which you have assigned the shortcut and click on
      Change Key Sequence.
    6. Under Switch Keyboard Layout, select
      Not assigned.
    7. Click on OK (Twice).


    Let us know the results.

    Windows-Ctrl-d shortcut

    CTRL+D windows shortcut

    hi,

    Lately when I hit CTRL+D, no matter which program I'm currently using, it pops up the default web browser and starts playing a specific song on youtube.

    I can't find any way to disable this function and as such can't use CTRL+D in any program.

    Thanks,

    Moran
