Windows 10: How can I reroute Win + Shift + F to run when I click 'New Tab' in Edge?

Win + Shift + F opens up a search bar similar to MacOS

Edge new tab

Hi Niranjan,

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I did not see a direct answer in your response to Pat's question:

"How can I set new tab in Edge to google.co.uk".



Please rephrase your answer so an old computer dinosaur could understand it.



I believe Pat was asking how to have each “new tab” open to a specific web page; in his case to google.co.uk.



When I open a new tab:

• I DON'T want ‘"suggested content” which is like a MSN page with weather, news, and featured apps from Windows Store.’
• I DON'T want a “Blank page”
• I Do want the Google search page: google.com

Admittedly, I’m new to Windows 10 and Windows Edge but it appears to me that Microsoft is making it very difficult (or impossible) to use non-Microsoft search engines
or default to non-Microsoft web pages.



Hope you can dispel my concerns.



Thanks, Jack

AutoHotKey: remapping Alt+Shift+Tab to (L)Win+Shift+Tab

I'm trying to use AutoHotKey to get Alt+Tab and Shift+Alt+Tab in Windows to have the same behavior as Cmd+Tab and Shift+Cmd+Tab in macOS.

Note: Cmd on a mac keyboard sends the Win key.

What I've gotten to work is:

What I haven't been able to do is get LWin+Shift+Tab to send Shift+Alt+Tab. I've tried:

1. #Shift & Tab:: ShiftAltTab (error: must specify L or R for # in this case)
   
2. LWin & Shift & Tab :: ShiftAltTab (Can't use 3 custom combinations)
   
3. 
   
   

I also tried with return lines after each Send line. Nothing happened when pressing either

• LCmd+Tab (== LWin+Tab) or
  
• LCmd+Shift+Tab (== LWin+Shift+Tab).
  

Is there a quick and simple way to do this? I want to use AHK since it is modifying the combinations to mimic a lot of other Mac keyboard behaviors.
