Hiding icons with keyboard?

[NoPuhi]

So my nephew started rapidly pushing random buttons on the keyboard and all of a sudden my desktop was empty. I freaked out for a second but i figured out that he somehow just hid the desktop icons. Is anyone aware of a keybind or key combination that lets you hide desktop icons in win7?
I browsed the web a bit, but didnt find anything on this topic.

With your mouse, right-click anywhere on the desktop. On the pop-up menu, select "View" then "Show desktop icons". That should solve it, else please come back

As far as i know there's no direct keyboard shortcut to show/hide the desktop icons, here's the full list of keyboard shortcuts: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/keyboard-shortcuts

You can create one yourself, though: http://www.intowindows.com/keyboard-shortcut-to-show-or-hide-desktop-icons/
