URL Shortcuts not working in Edge
Good evening When we used IE11 we use to have shortcuts on all workstations to a specific webpage, this was created by dragging the url from the addressbar to the desktop to create a .website file This functionality doesnt seem to work in Edge even after setting Edge as the default app for .website files. I tried instead to create a standard shortcut / .url file however whenever I click on the shortcut I receive this instead of the desired webpage: Edge is set as the default application for .url files. What is the proper way to create a shortcut to a webpage with the webpage icon in Edge. Thanks.Uninstalling games from the Xbox app doesn't remove game shortcut from desktop
Install games from Xbox app, play it, then uninstall it, the shortcut that was made automatically on desktop will still be there, having a white placeholder icon. Expected behavior: the shortcut on desktop should be removed when the game is uninstalled from the uninstall option of the Xbox app. occurring in latest Windows 10 insider Dev build and Xbox app if you can reproduce it, add your details to this feedback: https://aka.ms/AAcirp2Shortcut pointing to Batch script (.bat file) - PSF Tool not worked.
Hi All, Scenario: I have an app with multiple shortcuts, in those one shortcut's Target is "cmd.exe" and argument is path of a batch script file(.bat file). I have tried to create MSIX package with the help of PSF Tool. while testing I am able to launch every shortcut, except this one (which has batch script). I tried the below things: 1. As we know there is no communication between MSIX container and the native cmd.exe file, I have copied cmd.exe (which is not recommendable) file into msix package and tried to launch the shortcut. It didn't work. 2. In config.json file, replaced cmd.exe with the psflauncher.exe in place of target, which mean this psflauncher will call the .bat file to execute. It didn't work 3. In config.json file, placed .bat file path in Target place with out any arguments. It didn't work. Is there any thing else to try other than above, please advise and guide. Thanks in Advance.
Could we have a shortcut that just cycles between virtual desktops?
I'm just starting to use virtual desktops and it's odd that they are "in a line with ends" in the interface. If you only have two open and can't remember whether the one you're in now is "on the right" or "on the left", you have a 50% chance of the shortcut you choose doing nothing (referring to ctrl+Win+Right and ctrl+Win+Left). Is there a reason that continuing to press one shortcut doesn't cycle back around to the other side of a "loop"? Could something like "Ctrl+Win+Up" be used to just cycle through desktops, or maybe switching to the most recent other desktop like "Win+Tab" used to do for "most recent Window"? Sorry if this is in the wrong place or a duplicate. I'll gladly re-ask it elsewhere if needed.
Let us disable Win + F shortcut that opens Feedback hub
It's very annoying and happens many times, when I want to press Win + G to open Gamebar in game and then I accidentally press the button next to it G which is F and open feedback hub app instead. please add an option in Feedback hub to turn this shortcut off. I rarely use Win + F to send a feedback anyway, I always open feedback hub from start menu to file a feedback. please upvote this feedback: https://aka.ms/AAb4pm2New Feature: now you can assign a shortcut key for Tab Duplication in Edge insider Canary
Microsoft Edge Version 82.0.456.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) you can do it from here: edge://flags/ Assigns the shortcut Ctrl+K to Duplicate Tab By default, both Ctrl+E and Ctrl+K are the shortcuts for Focus Search. If enabled, Ctrl+K is assigned to Duplicate Tab. – Windows #edge-use-alternate-duplicate-tab-shortcut and you get this when you right-click on a tabSS7: smart bookmark / history and smart search - new shortcut - launch page, open tab, random pages
Suggestion (SS): 7 Classification: SEARCH PRIORITY IN MY OPINION: 6-7 in a scala 1 (low) - 10 (high) PS: i use $ as shortcut, because i never use such symbol. obviously american need to find another way xD To launch website much faster you could add a new option when we add it to bookmark (and obviously for previous links on bookmarks too). last time i told you to add description, now it's time for shortcut. for example if i want to visit missy profile https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/470968 i don't type missy microsoft or microsoft missy or missy. i would simply write <eimis this features should be available for history too. so i don't need to add a link to bookmark if i want to create such shortcut. next about open random pages on a website. if i want to open page 1,2,3,4...10 i could type $1-10 http://www.xxxx.xxx/page=1 (you can choose what you prefer) and you open page 1-10. if i type $$1-40.5www.xxxx.xxx/page=1 you open random page like 4, 8, 20, 6, 2 this mean .5 is the amount of tabs and 1-40 the intervall. similar shortcuts should work even when a current link is opened, in such case i would write for example $-10 and you are smart enough to open next 10 tabs based on current url now we merge this with the option of %s to search inside a website. before i start to talk, i want to remember that 1) you need to avoid to create random %s. i want to see only my created %s 2) you need to add option to delete all %s 3) since the problem of 1) you need to add a way to multi select all auto generated %s, by keeping my %s 4) you need add groups, this mean i can create social, science, ... groups and i put %s inside this 5) import export !!!! the most important feature you need to add ok, back to suggestion. for each %s we have a shortcut. this mean if i have edge.com/s=%s i can create a shortcut <ed now we can merge this to what i told you before i could write "banana AND bere <ed" and you open edge website with banana and bere if i write "banana AND bere $1-10 <ed" you open edge website with banana and bere, and both have page 1-10 active (= you open 20 tabs). if i write "banana, bere, cola, drink, ciao, bellaitalia $$0.3" you open edge with random search (for example cola, ciao, bere). 3 tabs because i wrote .3 $$0. means random mode, but i don't set an interval 1-40, so i use 0 banana,bere, ... are the terms that need to be used for search i could even write "banana <edge <ama <fb" and you open banana in edge, amazon, fb. if i use the group suggestion that i sent you before, i could set a shortcut for the group like g1 and i would replace "banana <edge <ama <fb" to "banana <g1" to make it more interesting you could even add multiple %s, this mean a website with search=xtext+yword+zdate1+wdate2 would be converted in =%s1+%s2+%s3+%s4 and during a search i would write for example " apple + mac + 03 + 05 <pubmed" to search apple title AND mac word AND 03-05 pubblication date. the shortcut i used are just an example, you need to understand why we need such smart search option in edge. ---- other type of shortcuts are for example <bk to return back to original page (example i visit a, b c, then z--> you show us page a) <sl5 = select 5 tabs to the left <sr5 = select 5 tabs to the right <rr5 = reload the next 5 tabs to the right <br5 = add to bookmark next 5 tabs to the right <cr5 = add to collections next 5 tabs to the right <wr5 = move next 5 tabs to the right in a new window <pr5 = save pdf next 5 tabs to the right i think now you understand the concept. a quick way to add, save, open, go next, go back, random tab, etc. and thanks to the bookmark shortcut that i wrote at the beginning with <<s i could access setting <<e extension <<% my %s .... This would be a jump in productivity. no one is offering this. LAST POINT i already wrote you that a lot of feature are missing like reload to left right and similar, move tab to left to bookmark or to a new windows, close tabs to left, mute tabs to the right, mute other, merge windows, etc (check other post).. if you don't want to add it to right click (which is normal, because having 1000 options is not the best way too, this is why i suggested a manager for right click), add it at least as optional option in menu bar, because in such case we can use such menu bar options with keyboard maestro and bbt. then we can enable touch gesture to use such shortcut too. if you don't add it to menu bar, we cannot do it. here some example of shortcut (skip the duplications...)
