Keyboard shortcuts

The keys worth knowing on Atrium. The Windows key is the one with the Windows logo; the desktop calls it Meta.

Each key in the three lists below was tried on our virtual test machine, with Atrium build 20261011b, on 14 October 2026.

Getting around

• Windows key opens the application list. Start typing to search it.
• Alt+Tab switches between the open windows.
• Alt+F4 closes the window in front.
• Windows key+D shows the desktop.
• Windows key+E opens your files.
• Ctrl+Alt+T opens a terminal.

Screenshots and copying

• Print Screen takes a picture of the whole screen, copies it so you can paste it, and saves it as a file.
• Windows key+V shows a list of what you copied lately.

Stepping away, and leaving the desktop

• Windows key+L locks the screen.
• Ctrl+Alt+Delete opens the screen to sleep, restart, shut down or log out.
• Ctrl+Alt+F2 switches to a text screen that asks for the user name and password you chose when installing, not your 24HG account. Ctrl+Alt+F1 brings the desktop back.

In games

Steam has keys of its own, which you can change in its settings: Shift+Tab opens the Steam overlay in a game, and F12 takes a screenshot in a game. We have not tried them on Atrium yet.

Coming

Coming with Clips: one key will save the last moments of your game. We will name it here when Clips reaches Atrium.
