Multiple monitor control, window snapping and cycle through open Windows

If you are using multiple monitors, pressing the Windows Key + Arrow Keys will quickly snap a window to the side of either monitor. You can also hit Shift + Windows Key + Arrows if you want the window to jump to the next monitor. If you want to quickly set up a second display or projector, press Windows + P.

Pressing Alt + Tab allows you to cycle through currently open windows and Alt + Shift + Tab will cycle backward.
