Windows+p

Windows 8 has a nice shortcut, that’s actually been on previous versions, but I’ve just discovered:

Windows logo + p

This one shortcut, by quickly allowing you to toggle between duplicating and extending across monitors, simultaneously kills two of my annoyances:

  • Ever had to give a presentation and not be able to control your presentation view? (perhaps due to some ATI or nVIDIA driver that overrides Windows native display control)
  • Ever use Chrome remote desktop to a machine with dual monitors?
