Windows 8 Trick: Peek at the Desktop

Use the Windows Key + , to peek at the desktop.

[WIN]=[,]

This is handy for me, because as you’ll see in this video, i have a calendar on my desktop.

The peek doesn’t change what program you’re in, it just let’s you see the desktop temporarily.

Opening Google Bookmarks in a New Tab

i’m sure this can be done a million ways … but I just found a pattern that I consistently …

  • Open New Tab
  • Then Click Bookmark

Instead, it would be nice to just open the bookmark in a new tab window.

To encode/decode URL’s, I use this site a lot. http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder so I have it bookmarked.

There are two tips/tricks to use, which will both open bookmarks in a new tab.

  1. CTRL+Click it (Works on Windows and Mac) – opens the shortcut in a new tab.
  2. Edit the bookmark target, with this javascript, and everytime, it’ll open in a new tab.
    javascript:( function(){ window.open(‘http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/’); } )();

Thanks to my buddy Jonathan Kressaty for the javascript snippet.
