Windows 10: WinUpdate breaks Shift-Ctrl-5 and Shift-Ctrl-6. Next update plan - cut 3 and 4. Too much...

Hi all,



Thanks to always great Windows 10 Update experience we've lost Shift-Ctrl-5 and Shift-Ctrl-6 (Desktop icons list and Detailed view).


Logically - ever less knowledgeable MS programmers are not aware of that function, so they completely missed another of few actually useful things from new OS (because Windows Update that has 4GB in file is not update, it's installation of new OS; mainly due to ever less knowledgeable MS programmers who are not aware of many existing functions).


This way difference between Windows 2000 and Windows 10 is even closer to difference in RAM occupied only - W2000: 25MB, W10: 25GB.


Question

Can programmers stop scratching extremities with their left hand and start using it for programming instead?

Dragging code blocks around and copy/pasting from Stackoverflow is not programming, no matter how much you are paid.



Thank you

Tomo

Ctrl+Shift+S

I am not talking about Microsoft or Office apps, I have problem with every app that uses Ctrl + Shift + S (example: Notepad ++ in which I had changed the "Save As..." to Ctrl + Shift + S).

Ctrl+Shift+Z shortcut unassignable

Here are the quick answers to your questions, and following, a more develop explanations.

1. Ctrl+Shift+Z is an already existing basic, known shortcut in all Adobe softwares for the "Redo" action. I am trying to use it and it’s not doing anything. Ctrl+Alt+V is a shortcut I am trying to assign to an action in the ebook conversion software Sigil.

2. Ctrl+Shift+Z for the already existing shortcut of the "Redo" action in Adobe softwares. Ctrl+Alt+V to a specific function in Sigil.

3. Ctrl+Shift+Z in all the Adobe Creative Suite, Ctrl+Alt+V in Sigil.

Actually the issue happened when I started my work on InDesign yesterday. As you must know, Ctrl+Shift+Z is a very common, basic shortcut for the "Redo" action. After that, I opened up Sigil and tried to assign Ctrl+Alt+V to a certain action, which is the
setting I put previously in my old laptop using Windows 8.

Then, when I noticed both didn’t work, I opened a software that makes me able to remap my keyboard and assign new keystrokes, key combinations, or even macro, to a single key (SteelSeries software going with my MSI gaming laptop), and tried different key
combinations. I saw that Ctrl+Shift+A was fully detected for exemple, but if I press Ctrl+Shift+Z or Ctrl+Alt+V, the software only detects Ctrl+Shift or Ctrl+Alt, and not the letter going to it.

Here is a screenshot of some tests I did in the SteelSeries software, testing key combinations. I tried Ctrl+Shift combined with respectively those letters, in this order: w / x / y / z

As you can see, the combinations with the W and with the Y are detected, but with the X and the Z, they aren’t. And if I tried to assigned as shortcut the combinations with the X and the Z in any software, they are also not detected.





Also, Ctrl+Alt+V is not detected anywhere as mentioned, but Shift+Ctrl+V is detected. Ctrl+Alt+Z and +X are also not detected. But any letter with only Ctrl, only Shift or only Alt are detected.

So the issue is happening in multiple softwares and seems to come from some letters not being detected when used in combination with Ctrl+Shift or Ctrl+Alt. Very weird.... I hope my explanations are clear.
