Dup of superuser.com – Tadeusz A. Kadłubowski Aug 3 '10 at 11:31

One of the main points in creating a Q&A site is that its someplace people will visit every day. How many people do you think are interested enough in keyboard shortcuts that they would spend even an hour a every week looking at them? It would be extremely difficult to reach a critical mass of users to become self sustaining. Many questions would not get answered because nobody on the site uses a certain application. Plus there's 500+ questions, and a community of daily users already on superuser. superuser.com/questions/tagged/keyboard-shortcuts – CrazyJugglerDrummer Oct 4 '10 at 23:11

@CrazyJ I am following this, but I absolutely agree. It probably helps that I talked with Robert Cartaino about the Vi&Vim and Emacs sites; that helped me realize there is already a strong userbase on SO and SuperUser. – Mark C Oct 25 '10 at 15:57

	In Windows 7, there's a button at the far right end of the taskbar that shows the desktop. The keyboard shortcut is holding down "alt" and pressing "tab" until you scroll to the "Desktop" option. – Deggy Oct 19 '11 at 19:36
	Or Windows-M on all Windows versions, since this is about keyboard shortcuts. But we don't want answers unless and until this proposal gets to Beta phase. – Wikis Oct 19 '11 at 19:39
	Windows-D will do the same, even though it really means to Show Desktop(It shows the desktop by minimizing all the windows). – ysaimanojkumar Feb 5 at 14:30

Good question, but i don't know any shortcut which can remove a USB drive directly because there may more than one at that point of time. What I actually do is(Assuming Windows 7), to open My Computer using Win+E and move my keyboard cursor using arrow keys on to the required drive then use the key beside Ctrl to right click on it, then hit 'J' to Eject(all in a moment). I guess this is better than to move the mouse and so on.... – ysaimanojkumar Feb 5 at 14:35

	Do you need to specify the browser? – Wikis Aug 3 '10 at 10:45
	@Mark: The asker may or may not specify the browser, the answer must contain general as well as specific information I guess. – Manish Aug 3 '10 at 10:50
