Till 2015 and earlier versions of Skype for Business and Lync, keyboard shortcut:

Windows Key + Y

used to bring up the application window with the focus in search box. After upgrading to Office 2016, the above mentioned shortcut does not work. Has this shortcut been changed to something else?

Does Ctrl+Alt+Shift+3 work for you?Stymie
Yes it does. Another question - how do I press these keys using one hand?Vanward
You can use sticky keys: mcmw.abilitynet.org.uk/…Stymie

@Valence I am using autohotkey to map the older keyboard shortcut to the newer one. So, now I can again use Winkey + Y under SfB 2016Vanward
In Skype for Business, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+3 does nothing for me, but Win+Y works. (en-UK keyboard if that makes a difference)Balder
Does anyone know how can I prevent / unbind Ctrl+Alt+Shift+3 ?Germinant

At this moment I have not seen an official response from Microsoft.

The following shortcut was found on support.office.com.

Ctrl + Alt + Shift + 3

Open the main window and put focus in the search box.

Sticky keys function makes you able to use it one-handed:

  1. Press Windows Key + U or open Control Panel\Ease of Access\Ease of Access Center

  2. Select Make the keyboard easier to use

  3. Select Turn on Sticky Keys

  4. Adjust the settings: enter image description here
