A CoolTnT ...

... is a "little form" of knowledge transfer where all of us can contribute, from the just hired juniors to our experienced veterans.

From a somewhat outdated introductory blog post.

Windows 10 supports multiple desktops

• Windows-Key, Windows-Tab
• Switch Windows-Ctrl-Left/Right
• Two finger swipe to switch desktops

Windows shortcuts for changing screen orientation

• Probably specific to graphics driver
• Default for (some?) Intel drivers: Ctrl-Alt-

Some Linux Shell

• Start the command with a space to not add it to type history
• Might need to enable it

ReSharper

• Clickable StackTrace Explorer (Ctrl-Alt-E or Ctrl-E, T)
• Similar feature in Eclipse

Auto paste in Eclipse

• E.g. JSON in clipboard, open JSON file - automatically pastes content to the file

Enable people to be responsible

• Make them be part of the initial creation process

Glue person

• for a topic

Communication: Use a person's name

• "Hi, Susan, can you help me?" over "Hi, can you help me?"
• Improves willingness of person to help (shown in studies)
• Even when writing E-Mails
• Similar prefer "Liebe Grüße" over "LG"

And while typing all the goodness into Notepad++, it crashed, before I saved, so here's some more tips:

Program hangs with unsaved changes

• At least you might take a screenshot of the last state of the screen before killing the process! :)

Notepad++ Session Backup and Periodic Backup feature

• In Preferences, Category Backup
• Saving becomes optional
• Current state of open files is periodically saved to %AppData%
