Screen shot of ur current screen : windows key + prnt scr key
 
Control Printscreen then. Hard to remember when you press without looking!
 
great work man.. 🙂i would like to add one thing to that list... Windowskey+Wopens items to search...
 

ur ctrl + prnt scr just take a SS but win key + prn scr takes a SS and saves it to pictures folder (under screenshot)
 
lol. i had a feeling that something was happening because of the smartphone like flash.

in ubuntu they are saved directly to desktop i think which makes them instantly accessible.

now that you have told me about the screenshots folder, i found out where they are being saved.

great work man.. 🙂

WindowsKey+W is searching for settings which is cool. WindowsKey alone searches for apps.
 
Space key works as a Right click on start Screen 🙂 , its fun pressing pageup and pagedown on the start screen 🙂
