If you’ve installed Windows 8 in a VM, I’m finding Keyboard-Shortcuts are going to be your friend. Below is a list of Shortcuts I’ve found so far for Metro. I’m sure I’ve missed about… a million so if you see any I’ve not listed, please add your findings to the comments so we can build a nice comprehensive list.
I expect most of the standard desktop keyboard shortcuts from Windows 7 will still work outside the Metro UI so I’m only going to focus on Windows 8 Metro Keyboard Shortcut keys here. If you see something missing form the list below, please drop it in the comments and I’ll add it to the chart.
Definition:
Charms : Icons on the right which offer Search, Share, Start Menu, Devices and Settings.
Windows Key : Windows Logo Key on a standard keyboard built for the Microsoft Windows OS.
App Key : Application Key picturing a Mouse Cursor on a Menu. Normally found to the Right of the Spacebar on a standard keyboard.
ESC : Escape Key on a standard keyboard.
Shift : Shift Key on a standard keyboard.
ALT : ALT Key on a standard keyboard.
PgUp / PgDown : The Page Up and Page Down Key on a standard keyboard.
Metro UI : Touch sensitive Windows 8 UI based off the Windows 7 Phone Metro UI Interface. The Metro “desktop” hosts all Metro based Apps and Non-Metro based Icons.
