> Just about everything (including resizing and moving windows) can be done entirely from a keyboard without ever touching a mouse. The mouse works everywhere, but you don't need to take your hands off the keyboard if you don't want to.
That's literally how Windows has worked since 1.0. You can still resize and move windows without leaving the keyboard. The shortcut key is Alt-Space if you're curious.
- jeroenhd 5y agoStarting with Windows 8 and progressing into Windows 11, this has become less and less true. Clicking the top left no longer opens the window menu, double clicking the icon no longer closes the application. Old keyboard shortcuts stop working as applications implement their own UI controls through Electron and similar systems. Keyboard shortcuts work inconsistently or completely because the developers of the necessary UI frameworks don't know or don't care about them, Microsoft itself included. The legacy systems and functionality of windows are being removed as programs are turned into apps. I think that's a real shame.
