Open taskbar items using keyboard shortcuts

There’s a useful keyboard shortcut that lets you cycle through programs on your taskbar and open the one you want.

Press Windows key+t to see a preview of the first open item on your taskbar (to the right of the Start button). Keeping the Windows key pressed, press T to see a thumbnail of the next program on your taskbar, and so on (see screenshot left). Press Enter to open the selected taskbar item.

Another useful keyboard shortcut (Windows key+m) minimises all open programs on your desktop.
