Guide | How To Windows 8 Consumer Preview Keyboard Shortcuts

[WinAndLinuxTutorials]

The Windows 8 Consumer Preview is now available for public download, and it offers a very different experience from what Windows users are accustomed to. However, while the operating system is optimized for touchscreen input, that doesn't mean Microsoft forgot about users who are confined to traditional keyboards and mice.

In fact, the Windows 8 Consumer Preview supports a ton of keyboard shortcuts to help make input and interaction a little easier. Some of the new shortcuts are touchscreen-related, such as pressing Windows-O to lock the orientation of the device, while others relate to new features, such as pressing Windows-C to open the Charms bar.

Good list but just like in Windows 7 , I'll most likely use only the very popular ones , you know.. copy/paste/select all.....
Anyway I don't think I'll install Windows 8 on my machines as at this time doesn't seem to fit for desktop use...

This would be really a big adjustment for anyone who tested the Consumer Preview caused they were in the gap that familiarize on the keyboard shortcuts from the previous OS.
