[edit]Chromebook keyboard shortcuts for switching tabs
[edit]How do you switch tabs on a Chromebook?
[edit]I work on a Chromebook and I need to know how to switch tabs quickly. Please help.71.6.6.210 (talk) 19:21, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
- Does pressing "Ctrl-Tab" work for you? 209.149.113.5 (talk) 19:26, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, but it only moves me one tab to the right. How do I move to the left?71.6.6.210 (talk) 19:30, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
- "Shift-Ctrl-Tab"? Rojomoke (talk) 20:22, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

File extension
[edit]Hello there,
My environment here is HP Pavilion, Windows 10, MS Blend For Visual Studio. I have this C# code located in github that I need to copy into the Blend to make a functional project. I began with creating folders in Visual Studio 2015/Projects and naming them appropriately. In the last two folders I created files I need. Then I renamed the files with the names I need with .cs extension. Unbeknownst to me the Windows kept .txt extension attached to .cs and .sln extensions. So now my files look like this ****.cs.txt and the Blend cannot find them. I tried to rename them via cmd prompt but when I came to the final folders cmd could not find them. They turn out to be hidden. When I use numerous GUI/windows in File Explorer, those .txt extension aren't visible.
It is all very bizarre. The only way I see is creating a blank or WPF projects in the Blend and loading the files with the code. This is a tedious job. I have already done it once copying github files to my project folder that does not work. Any suggestions.
Thanks, - Alex
- This sounds like "Hide extensions for known file types". The fix is virtually the same for any version of Windows. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:22, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
