"Yep," he’d say on mute, with a customer’s sad voice droning on in both our ears. "Once you get the new ticket open, it’s tab three times to get to the description field, and if you need to get into Internet Explorer it’s control-escape, I, enter, then alt-tab back. I’m the fastest tech on the floor here because I never take my hands off the keyboard. If you’re smart, you’ll be like me."

Control-escape is equivalent to the Windows key; alt-escape is the shortcut that cycles quickly between recently used applications without showing the small bar in the middle, like alt-tab does.

The mega combo is ctrl-alt-tab (or altgr-tab for the international keyboard aficionados) which gives you the application switcher bar, and lets you navigate with the arrow keys without holding down any other keys.

Windows key + tab too
