I was a happy person using the Cmd+Opt+Shif+V shortcut when pasting to replace, and I know that Figma tried to change the paste-to-replace shortcut to Cmd+Shift+R before, but it got back to Cmd+Opt+Shif+V as it seemed more natural for users.
A single tab+L shortcut to a designated section would restore the old, more efficient workflow. Another option would be customizable shortcuts to each section of your my tasks, like tab+1, tab+2, each assigned to a different section.
I understand that this is due to Shortcut being added to the My Drive from the original folder, however is there a way to add a direct link, so as to eliminate .shortcut-targets-by-id\1ecqh68rKEhWPsVZA7xPirmOIcrxJGwOF and allow it to display "MyDrive".
Yes true we are also Structural consultants and already shared lakhs of files with our 2-3 users. Now due to this shortcut features, we are unable to save many of our coded excels or other file. Once opened directly on drive its making file corrupt.
I shared this issues with google Development team but after month of research they finally declined to revert our drive to original.
Is it possible to create a link to a note on your desktop? What about to a file in a note? I have an excel file I access regularly and right now I open Evernote, navigate to the note from my Evernote shortcuts and open the file in Excel by clicking on the file in my Evernote note.
I'm wondering if there's a way to create a desktop shortcut that will directly open the note (from which I can open the excel file) or even better, if I can create a desktop shortcut that will open the excel file from Evernote directly in Excel?
No, the excel file can not be opened directly by the shortcut
The spreadsheet exists as a note attachment in the Evernote database
- it has to be exported as a OS file to be opened by Excel
I use @gazumped's desktop link for one very often used spreadsheet. The rest I access via the notes. Not that much trouble as I always have EN open on the right monitor of a two monitor set up so they are all a shortcut click away. FWIW.
Thanks for all of the tips. I explored the Google drive option, but found it isn't trivial to create a desktop shortcut that will open an excel file in Excel from Google drive without installing their backup and sync software that is a heavier solution that what I'm looking for. (or using the web-based Google sheets). I like how Evernote seamlessly lets you open an Excel file and save changes to it directly to the note. I haven't come across any issues with file corruption yet.
I am used to working in excel and using keyboard shortcuts to navigate my sheets without having to use a mouse. Is there a keyboard shortcut to delete a row? if not can how do I let the product team know to add this to the development queue?
While there are keyboard shortcuts available for inserting rows and navigating to existing rows in a sheet, there isn't currently a shortcut available for deleting rows. Click here for the full list of keyboard shortcuts that can be used in Smartsheet and feel free to Submit a Product Enhancement Request for having a shortcut to delete rows considered as a possibility for future development.
Shortcuts in Microsoft OneLake allow you to unify your data across domains, clouds, and accounts by creating a single virtual data lake for your entire enterprise. All Fabric experiences and analytical engines can directly connect to your existing data sources such as Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and OneLake through a unified namespace. OneLake manages all permissions and credentials, so you don't need to separately configure each Fabric experience to connect to each data source. Additionally, you can use shortcuts to eliminate edge copies of data and reduce process latency associated with data copies and staging.
Shortcuts are objects in OneLake that point to other storage locations. The location can be internal or external to OneLake. The location that a shortcut points to is known as the target path of the shortcut. The location where the shortcut appears is known as the shortcut path. Shortcuts appear as folders in OneLake and any experience or service that has access to OneLake can use them. Shortcuts behave like symbolic links. They're an independent object from the target. If you delete a shortcut, the target remains unaffected. If you move, rename, or delete a target path, the shortcut can break.
You can create shortcuts in lakehouses and Kusto Query Language (KQL) databases. Furthermore, the shortcuts you create within these items can point to other OneLake locations, Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) Gen2, Amazon S3 storage accounts, or Dataverse.
When creating shortcuts in a lakehouse, you must understand the folder structure of the item. Lakehouses are composed of two top level folders: the Tables folder and the Files folder. The Tables folder represents the managed portion of the lakehouse, while the Files folder is the unmanaged portion of the lakehouse.In the Tables folder, you can only create shortcuts at the top level. Shortcuts aren't supported in other subdirectories of the Tables folder. If the target of the shortcut contains data in the Delta\Parquet format, the lakehouse automatically synchronizes the metadata and recognizes the folder as a table.In the Files folder, there are no restrictions on where you can create shortcuts. You can create them at any level of the folder hierarchy. Table discovery doesn't happen in the Files folder.
When you create a shortcut in a KQL database, it appears in the Shortcuts folder of the database. The KQL database treats shortcuts like external tables. To query the shortcut, use the external_table function of the Kusto Query Language.
Any Fabric or non-Fabric service that can access data in OneLake can use shortcuts. Shortcuts are transparent to any service accessing data through the OneLake API. Shortcuts just appear as another folder in the lake. Spark, SQL, Real-Time Analytics, and Analysis Services can all use shortcuts when querying data.
Spark notebooks and Spark jobs can use shortcuts that you create in OneLake. Relative file paths can be used to directly read data from shortcuts. Additionally, if you create a shortcut in the Tables section of the lakehouse and it is in the Delta format, you can read it as a managed table using Spark SQL syntax.
You can also read shortcuts in the Tables section of a lakehouse through the SQL analytics endpoint for the lakehouse. You can access the SQL analytics endpoint through the mode selector of the lakehouse or through SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
You can create semantic models for lakehouses containing shortcuts in the Tables section of the lakehouse. When the semantic model runs in Direct Lake mode, Analysis Services can read data directly from the shortcut.
Applications and services outside of Fabric can also access shortcuts through the OneLake API. OneLake supports a subset of the ADLS Gen2 and Blob storage APIs. To learn more about the OneLake API, see OneLake access with APIs.
Internal OneLake shortcuts allow you to reference data within existing Fabric items. These items include lakehouses, KQL databases and data warehouses. The shortcut can point to a folder location within the same item, across items within the same workspace or even across items in different workspaces. When you create a shortcut across items, the item types don't need to match. For instance, you can create a shortcut in a lakehouse that points to data in a data warehouse.
When a user accesses data through a shortcut to another OneLake location, the identity of the calling user is used to authorize access to the data in the target path of the shortcut*. This user must have permissions in the target location to read the data.
Shortcuts can also be created to ADLS Gen2 storage accounts. When you create shortcuts to ADLS, the target path can point to any folder within the hierarchical namespace. At a minimum, the target path must include a container name.
ADLS shortcuts use a delegated authorization model. In this model, the shortcut creator specifies a credential for the ADLS shortcut and all access to that shortcut is authorized using that credential. The supported delegated types are Organizational account, Account Key, Shared Access Signature (SAS), and Service Principal.
You can also create shortcuts to Amazon S3 accounts. When you create shortcuts to Amazon S3, the target path must contain a bucket name at a minimum. S3 doesn't natively support hierarchical namespaces but you can use prefixes to mimic a directory structure. You can include prefixes in the shortcut path to further narrow the scope of data accessible through the shortcut. When you access data through an S3 shortcut, prefixes are represented as folders.
S3 shortcuts use a delegated authorization model. In this model, the shortcut creator specifies a credential for the S3 shortcut and all access to that shortcut is authorized using that credential. The supported delegated credential is a Key and Secret for an IAM user.
Dataverse shortcuts use a delegated authorization model. In this model, the shortcut creator specifies a credential for the Dataverse shortcut and all access to that shortcut is authorized using that credential. The supported delegated credential type is Organizational account (OAuth2). The organizational account must have permissions to access data in Dataverse Managed Lake.
