We use the System Tray for a multitude of things.
- To check the date and time
- To check the battery status
- To connect to Wi-Fi
and the list goes on…
Did you know that we could use the keyboard to select the System Tray (not the mouse).
You could use Windows Logo Key + B to select the System Tray.
Once you press Windows Logo Key + B, the System Tray arrow icon is selected.
You could then use the Arrow Keys to move the selection across. Once the selection is on the system tray arrow icon, you could press the Space Bar to open the hidden system tray icons and use the arrow keys to traverse across.
This works for most versions of Windows.
You can find more windows shortcuts at the Microsoft documentation here.
