Quick explanation, please, even if it's OT? I was using Win+Arrows to switch between virtual desktops, and Shift+Win+Arrows to move windows between desktops. For years. Decades even. But SUDDENLY Microsoft decided that having such freedom is too much for the user, or perhaps it was considered a security risk, I don't know. I can no longer use these keys in userland. Even if I disable the idiotic functionality that is bound to them by default, I can't use these keys for anything else. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Thursday, August 27, 2015 02:38:48 Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
