A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I am posting this because I am ashamed I just found out it existed, and I thought I would subject the rest of my Beehaw friends to the same experience! 😁

The instructions are super simple, Windows Key + . (period) opens up a little overlay which contains Emojis, GIFs, Clipboard, and some other stuff I'm not sure is useful.

Ill end this post with a question for you all:

-What was something you learned about technology FAR later than you SHOULD have?

thanks to emoji keyboard, I found the clipboard history in windows and made the searching of history easier

Win+V is one of the most powerful functionalities in any operating system IMHO. I use it every day.

I actually hadn't clicked the clipboard tab yet to see the extent of that tool, so thank you for pointing that out. That might actually be the most useful part of this tool so far

Win+V opens up your clipboard history so you don't have to switch tabs in the emoji picker

Awesome! Writing this one down, I think this one will be useful for work as well so it's made that short list as well! ☺️
