From List of Keyboard shortcuts in Windows

Windows Logo Key + Tab

Opens Task View

The key combination opens Task View & Timeline, but the arrows keys only navigate around the Timeline. One thing I found, is if I press (hold) Down arrow key, then press (hold) Up arrow key it jumps to the Task View (virtual desktops), but feels broken.

How can I cycle through the Task View (virtual desktop) without messing with holding arrow keys or a Mouse/Touchpad?

Thanks in advance.
Running Windows 10 April 2018 Update v1803

Your looking for the combo to cycle through the tasks you have open?

Alt + Tab

Alt+Tab only cycles through the open applications on the current Desktop.

Task View allows multiple virtual desktops, and that's what I want to cycle through using only a keyboard.

I do not know if there is a combo to cycle through all the tasks you may have open on other virtual desktops. All i know is Ctrl + Windows Logo Key + Right Arrow, shifts you over to your other virtual desktop. Ctrl + Windows Logo Key + Left Arrow will cycle you back to your main desktop.

Sorry in advance if that's not what your looking for. Other than that, i do not know.

Not sure about some of them shortcuts. For instance pressing Ctrl + D save my current tab to favorits. Not sure wha you are asking. When I open task view and move to a different task with the right or left arrow keys and hit enter, it opens that task. Then I have to hit Windows Logo Key + Tab again to switch to a different task.




"Ctrl + D (or Delete)Delete the selected item and move it to the Recycle Bin"
