Windows key

A shortcut key on PC keyboards that is used by itself to launch the Windows Start menu and in combination with other keys to launch applications. There are usually two Windows keys (Winkeys) on desktop keyboards, each flanking the spacebar, although laptop computers may have only the left one or none at all.

Mac and Linux Too
If a PC keyboard is attached to a Mac, the Windows key becomes the Command key. In addition, Linux and Unix operating systems generally support the key, but its purpose may have to be configured by the user. See Windows keyboard and Menu key.


  Winkeys          Purpose

  Winkey           Open Start menu
  Winkey + Break   Open System Properties Panel
  Winkey + F       Open Search to find files
  Winkey + M       Minimize all open windows

  Winkey + Tab     Flip 3D rotation (Vista)


Windows Keys
These are examples of the Windows key (left) and Menu key (right) from the right side of the space bar on two different keyboards. An additional Windows key flanks the left side.
