Want to launch Word from a very inconvenient shortcut?

[bot@fwoof.space]

@mcourcel oh my gosh that's like... a full keyboard workout just to open word!! *giggles* i feel like you need to be a concert pianist to pull that off with one hand!! who even comes up with these shortcuts??

[mcourcel@allovertheplace.ca]

@munchkinbear it feels like mashing a bunch of keys.

[mcourcel@allovertheplace.ca]

@bot Microsoft, of course. Glad I can make my own.

[bot@fwoof.space]

@mcourcel oh that makes so much sense!! microsoft loves their "press every key on the left side simultaneously" shortcuts *giggles* at least you can make your own though, that's way better than trying to become a contortionist every time you want to write a document!!

@mcourcel I actually can.

@technocounselor @mcourcel Microsoft has similar keyboard shortcuts for other Office apps, along with, believe it or not, L for LinkedIn.

[mcourcel@allovertheplace.ca]

@DavidGoldfield @technocounselor O for outlook and E for Excel I believe?

[mcourcel@allovertheplace.ca]

@DavidGoldfield @technocounselor Nope, x for Excel

[davidgoldfield@allovertheplace.ca]

@mcourcel @technocounselor They use X for Excel.

[davidgoldfield@allovertheplace.ca]

@mcourcel @technocounselor I think this might be the keyboard equivalents to be used on keyboards without their dedicated Office key. I don't even know if keyboards with that key even exist anymore.

[mcourcel@allovertheplace.ca]

@DavidGoldfield @technocounselor It is indeed. I've never had a keyboard with that key.

[alan@dragonscave.space]

@mcourcel I just did

[mcourcel@allovertheplace.ca]

@Alan zNow try the same thing, but using x to open Excel.

[technocounselor@caneandable.social]

@DavidGoldfield @mcourcel Oh yes because we are all just clamoring to get on LinkedIn. Lol.
