I do the simple ones
f5 to refresh
ctrl+c to copy
ctrl+v to paste
backspace to go back to a different page.

Ctrl+Shift+W

A penguin pops up on your screen. No joke.


That failed, since Firefox notified me if I wanted to exit the browser. Nice try.

If you're on a Mac, like me:

Hold down control, option, command, and 8.

Makes the screen negative.

Keep tapping the F8 function key on your keyboard while you computer starts, you'll get a message asking you whether you wish to increase your computing speed.

If you have a numpad you can do some neat things in wordpad, like alt + 3589 makes a little snake I think. And I think the OP meant tricks like different smilies and text characters and such. This one is kind of crude, but I still thought it was creative: t(-_-t)

I tried it quite a bunch of times, it seems to have no effect. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong.

windows logo + L


Trying to lock my workstation, eh? Good thing I knew what it was used for.

Try this, Windows key + M. It makes everything disappear.

A cool one is that if you hold the power button on the tower for 10 sec. your screen will tell you what death holds. (to some people)
