Does anyone know it? Is there a way to create it?

Find the shortcut to calculator in the Start menu, right click and select "Properties". You can enter any shortcut you want in the "Shortcut Key" field.

This doesn't work quite the same way, at least in Windows 8.1. If you have an actual Calculator button and press it 5 times then you will get 5 calculators open. If you create a shortcut key in Windows, pressing the shortcut 5 times will open it once and focus on it the next 4 times. You also can't open the calendar more than once by clicking on the shortcut in the start menu– redbmkMar 21, 2015 at 22:00
Well if you put it in your quicklaunch bar, the items there automatically get a shortcut (well the first 10 anyway) of Windows + #

Not a true shortcut key combination, but a comfortable way to do it anyway. win-key+r [for the run window], type calc and press enter.
Might seems like a bit of work relatively for a shortcut, but if you're not completely rubbish at typing, it's easy and quick (and if you use the method for other programs you really get used to it).

1I could do the same thing just pressing the Win key and typing calc.– mhmhmhmhAug 21, 2009 at 20:49

1Yes, but if you have other programs that contain with those letters and especially if you use them more, you might find yourself loading the wrong app.– EranAug 21, 2009 at 20:58

hitting the win key and then typing "calc" won't let you open more than one, whereas using the run window will– redbmkMar 21, 2015 at 22:01
I know I sound like a fanboy, but I haven been using Microsoft keyboard for 9 years. I know it doesn't solve your problem in software, but all MS keyboard have a dedicate calculator button which I found very useful from time to time.
