Hey there! Since it seems that Microsoft may have let some of us down in terms of documentation, I wanted to compile a list of some "tips and tricks". Please share yours here as well. I'll eventually make this thread a guide of sorts.
General:
- The charm bar is your friend. Many settings are now located here. To open it, swipe from the right.
- Some apps use a secondary bar on the top or bottom. Simply swipe from the top or bottom to open up some other menus.
App Management:
- Dislike pulling recent apps from the left? Would you rather have just the recent apps list appear instead? In settings, go to General, turn "When I swipe from the left edge..." off.
- If you are still default swipe from the left, you can swipe from the left then stay near the left to open up the list of recent apps.
Keyboard-less Tips:
- Want to take a screenshot? Just press and hold the Windows hardware button and then press Volume Down (on the left side of the device). As with the method described above, screen captures go in the Screenshots folder in the Pictures library. Nice! (via power5)
Anyone knows if:
- Can you make the keyboard standard? ie. Top rows of keys numbers, or at least the secondary keyboard like this?
- Can you close apps in the "Recent Apps" with just touch?
