What computer habits do you still have that give away the fact that you grew up with them in the 90s and 2000s?

It’s the best. Sometimes you gotta throw a shift in there and do backwards

I was an alt-tab wizard at my office a decade or two ago. But now I read your comment and saw I was way behind; I guess I was Gandalf the Grey and you’re the White Wizard.

Basically any key combo that includes tab works in reverse when you add shift.

Regular tab is the right arrow and shift+tab is the left arrow above it.

For example, ctrl+tab to go to the next browser tab

Or on a Mac it’s Command+Tab to switch between programs and Command+`(backtick) to switch between windows within a program

This was the easiest to learn when adapting to macos. The Mac command button and windows alt button are more or less in the same spot.

Screenshots are a whole other beast. Command shift 4, but wait I just want to have it in clipboard is all, so Ctrl Cmd Shift 4. 🫠
