Find background shortcuts on windows - windows

I'm having problem using one of the shortcuts in VS Code ctrl + shift + L but it works from selection menu.
I have noticed there is a loading circle above cursor when I press that shortcut (even in other apps) and I assumed maybe it's a different shortcut for windows which overrides it.
is there any app that would show me what is triggered when I use shortcuts in windows 10?
VS code developer shortcut troubleshooting doesn't recognize any shortcut but it does for ctrl + shift + S(workbench.action.files.saveAs) for example.

AMD Radeon software was interfering with the shortcut on the background.
disabled it on "hotkeys" section.
It didn't solve every shortcut malfunction, it resolved after I updated the graphic driver.

Mojave (MacOs) - How to toggle between windows of same application?

I am using MacBook Pro , macOS Mojave (10.14.4) . I am not able to toggle between windows of same application .
I tried Command + BackTick but its not working . Tried to change shortcut for "Move focus to next window" , but no luck .
Thanks
Another approach to bring up minimized windows without using 3rd-party app is to use Ctrl + Down (Mission Control's Application windows)
I feel Command + ` should be fixed, it should show minimized windows too. Or yellow traffic light button should default to hidden instead of minimized, so Command + ` can show all windows of same app
Note: Control + Down also works even if all of the windows of an application are minimized
I now disabled Command + ` on my machine. It's confusing to have two shortcuts for basically achieving the same thing.
I think the other windows of your same application are minimized.
Sadly, there's no keyboard shortcut that can show windows of same application if those windows are minimized. Command + Backtick only works on visible windows.
You can bring up the other minimized windows by right clicking the app's icon on the dock, then select the minimized window
UPDATE April 20 2019
Found an application that can bring up minimized windows of same application. App is HyperSwitch. You still need to do command + tab, then wait a second, a preview of all windows of same application will be shown. Then you can press command + backtick to switch to all windows of same application, even the minimized ones.
Found it on https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/2718/best-app-to-switch-between-all-open-windows
Another good option: AltTab
Use option+tab to toggle/switch among applications
To toggle/switch among windows of same application, use: option+`
You can change the option to command on AltTab, doing that, AltTab will override the default command+tab app switcher of macOS

If you turn on "Active Corners" you can make windows of same application pop up if you pull your mouse to the far corner you have activated and assigned to "program windows".....
Sorry for the messy terminology, my system language is set to danish, so the english terms I use here are just guesses.
I came here because I had a similar problem, maybe it helps someone in the future.
For me, it was fixed by reassigning the shortcut for "Move focus to next window" (to the same key combination as before). Not sure why, but it worked for me.

Show all windows OS X keyboard shortcut for mavericks

Is there a keyboard shortcut for OSX Mavericks to show all windows, even the minimized or hidden ones for an application?
I hate having to use my mouse to click on the Chrome icon to open my other chrome windows.
The keyboard shortcut to show all windows for an application is Ctrl+Down then switch between these windows using arrow keys.
To change the keys used for the shortcut to whatever you want, go to System Preferences-> Keyboard-> Shortcuts-> Mission Control-> Application Windows.
It's under the system preferences for Mission Control: there's a shortcut defined there for "Application windows", currently set to ctrl + down arrow
Works for open and minimised windows for your currently chosen application.
Ctrl + ▲ (up arrow) works on my Mac
You can setup a "hot corner" and select "Application Windows". Also you would see the file history in a banner so that you could also access to your files that are minimised.

Shortcut in Notepad++ to switch between search box and main window (Windows 7)

Is any of you know if there is a systematic keyboard shortcut to switch back to the main window from the search box in Windows 7 (either from Notepad++ side, or Windows 7 side)?
Of course, you could do Alt+Tab but you might not end up directly on the right window (you might have to do "Alt+Tab" several times).
The idea to use Win+ to switch between windows does not work because the search box is not recognized as a dedicated window.
Thanks
Courtesy of Kard Nails:
Press Alt+Tab twice, releasing the Alt key between. When you go back
to Notepad++ with the second switch, the search dialog is no longer on
focus.
I'm using Windows 7 (Spanish Version) at the office, and all I've got to do to hit the search box is to press CTRL + B.

Close the current tab with a keyboard shortcut

I see that in Tools -> Options -> Keyboard you can set Keyboard shortcuts for a large number of tasks. I tried searching for "Close" and these are the results, amongst a few others:
File.Close
File.CloseAllButThis
File.CloseProject
File.CloseSolution
If I set File.Close to be Ctrl+W (Honestly, why doesn't Microsoft innately support such a universal shortcut is beyond me) it mostly works, however if I have both the code-behind and the Designer view open for a form, it closes both tabs. Should I be setting a different command, or am I stuck with this? It's a small inconvenience, but it really irritates me.
I don't know if it's the same in VS2010, but in VS2012 this command is called "Window.CloseDocumentWindow" and it is mapped to Ctrl+F4 by default, to mirror Alt+F4 for closing application-level windows.
I believe the Ctrl+W shortcut was first brought to Microsoft Windows by Adobe Photoshop, a carry-over from Apple OS X, where Adobe seems to have remapped all of the ⌘ command+* shortcuts to Ctrl+*. On OS X, ⌘ command+W only closes windows, but the application stays resident. One uses ⌘ command+Q to quit applications, instead. As the window is the application in Windows, Ctrl+W is kind of a misnomer, but it has gotten more popular for some applications like web browsers to support it.
Given the market dominance of MS Windows over Apple OS X for desktop operating systems, it would seem that the F4-style shortcuts are "more universal" than the W/Q ones.
Use CTRL+F4 to close current window, to close all window of visual studio and shut down use - ALT+F4 .
Go to Tools -> Options -> Keyboard Apply "visual studio code" additional keyboard mapping scheme

How can I close Visual Studio's dockable windows with my keyboard?

It's kind of annoying to have to use my mouse to close the windows that appear when when summoned by my keyboard e.g. I find usages of an object by hitting Shift+F12, or any of the other dockable windows that appear for various other reasons.
Ideally these would close when I hit escape, but this does nothing. Alt+F4 wants to close the entire visual studio.
Is there any keyboard shortcut to close these windows?
To be clear, this is the kind of window I'm referring to:
According to Default Keyboard Shortcuts in Visual Studio 2015, you can use the following:
Shift + Esc - Window.Close (window must have focus)
Ctrl + F4 - Window.CloseDocumentWindow to close the current tab
It appears #inksmithy has answered the question, even though it doesn't work for me. I reckon it's because I'm using ReSharper and he isn't.
For what it's worth, I just discovered Ctrl + Shift + F4 works for me.
I've decided to mark #inksmithy's answer as correct but if that doesn't work for you try my one.
Set Focus to docked window (e.g. [Ctrl]+[g] for immediate window)
Press context menu key (at the right side of the space key)
Press the key to hide that window, indicated by _ in the contextmenu
(depends on your language)
