Windows 10: Summon a Text Field?

Sometimes, it is useful to create a text file, open it, write something, and copy it - so that you can save the text into clipboard.

Is there any way to create a "text field" without creating a new text file?

Using the tab key to hop between text fields highlights all buttons

Hello,
Whenever a dialog box pops up in Windows 10, if it contains text input fields and clickable buttons/radio buttons/checkboxes, pressing the tab key steps through every single item in the dialog box, which is very annoying and, to me, pointless. Do I recall that there might be a way to limit this behaviour so the tab key only highlights text input boxes, and not every single element? I can't find anything useful in Windows 10's Settings/Control Panel - am I missing something or is this not possible?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

 

E63 Text Messaging HowTo - move cursor to text entry field

I do not know how to "immediately" switch between the recipient field and the text field, especially when the pointer is in the middle of long list of recipients or long text field. However, when there are many recipients and the pointer is not at the
top or end, I use Ctrl-a to select them, then use DownNaviButton to move it to the end of recipient field, then DownNaviButton again to move to text field. When the pointer is somewhere in long text field, I use Ctrl-UpNaviButton to move pointer to the beginning
of text field, then UpNaviButton again to move to recipient field.

 

Summoning Start in Tablet mode When the taskbar is set to auto hide.


I get the impression there is no answer to this, but just in case i`m missing something...

On a windows 10 tablet (i.e. surface go) I like the task bar in 10 to auto hide, in order that applications enjoy a full screen experience with zero clutter from the task bar. Its a much cleaner look.

the problem is, that when you want to run up a new application, you need to summon the start menu, and that appears to mandate two gestures to do::

1) Swipe up to summon the task bar
2) Tap on the windows start button on the far left of the taskbar.

On some devices (and on certain screen scaling percentages) these steps are royal pain in the a$$

In this scenario Is there any method to summon the windows start menu in a single step, to avoid that two step process?

Perhaps a method to trap a double click of volume down??
