This is likely a very easy question. My new work computer, a ZBook 17 G3, seems quite nice; however, I have been unable to locate a key (or keystroke combination) to clear the screen. Documentation and online searches have been unsuccessful. I've tried several combinations that have worked on other keyboads, with no success. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Windows key + D
The shortcut is a toggle - once to clear the Desktop, again to "bring back" open windows.

Thanks! I was actually attempting to clear all data (and all fields) on an input screen, resulting in a blank screen. I didn't explain well. 🙂 But, this suggestion actually led me to some more research, and I found that Function+[Right Shift] functions as a "break" key, which accomplished what I needed.
Thanks for the idea that led to the solution!

Excellent - thanks for posting back and the information on the final "fix".
Sometimes we just need that proverbial kick in the right direction. Smiling.
Happy Computing.
