Anyone have any idea why it was programmed in?

Ctrl + shift + alt + win + any letter opens office apps

  • W - Word
  • P - PowerPoint
  • T - teams
  • N - OneNote

…etc

LinkedIn just happens to be L. If there isn’t an app installed (or available) it’ll just open in your browser.

I actually found these a few years ago when I decided to press every modifier letter combination. Back then it wasn’t documented anywhere but I’ve seen it pop up a few times in the last month so somebody must’ve found and shared it recently

I already know that. What I asked is if someone knows why Microsoft added those shortcuts.

Because they own all those products and want to make it easier to use them

I believe this is so they can make keyboards with a fancy “LinkedIn Button” on them, just like they’re trying to do now with Copilot.

My guess is it caters to “windows power users” that like to be the ones to point these obscure shortcuts to other people.
