It's because Windows has to save its keyboard combinations for the important things, like opening a new LinkedIn tab.

CTRL - SHIFT - ALT - WIN - L opens linkedin.

Truly only the most useful of functions for this great operating system

[-] shasta@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Thanks, Captain Obvious. No need to post such common shortcuts like this

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It was news to me. But then I haven't used Windows more than trivially in years.

Gives me even less of a reason now.

[-] shasta@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I was being sarcastic. If a shortcut requires 5 buttons, it's it really a shortcut? Press Win to open search and type link will probably also do the same thing

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

It would probably helpfully suggest LinkedIn after you so much as type the L

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Gotcha.

I could totally believe Microsoft did some kind of stupid deal with LinkedIn.

[-] Kratzkopf@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

LinkedIn was bought by Microsoft in 2016

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Even more of a reason then... but it's not true, so it's moot.

[-] Kratzkopf@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

That shortcut is real as well though.
