Keyboard Shortcuts
Help > Help Contents > Keyboard Shortcuts
Power users (lazy people) love keyboard shortcuts and we have a semi exhaustive list of the common ones here. The most important ones (in our opinion) are near the top while the more benign ones are closer to the bottom. If we have missed anything that you think is important be sure to let us know.
Single key shortcuts:
Ctrl+Click Opens link(s) in new tab(s)
/ Opens "Find in Page" dialog
F5 Refresh the page CTRL+F5 Force refresh
Spacebar Scroll down one screen (same as "Page Down" key)
Shift+Spacebar Scroll up one screen (same as "Page Up" key)
To use these keyboard shortcuts hold down CTRL and press one of the following:
T Opens a new tab and takes the focus to the new tab
O Open Local File. This is one of the biggest changes from IE where both Ctrl-O and Ctrl-L opened a dialogue box for a URL.
L Changes focus to the Address bar
Tab Scrolls through the tabs from current window towards the right. Loops back to the first tab when rightmost tab is reached
1 - 0 The numbers 1 to 0 takes the focus to Tab 1 to 10
N Opens a new window like IE
W a tab or if there are no tabs, close the window
B Open bookmark sidepanel
D Bookmark current page
H Brings up the history dialogue box on the right. Useful if you closed a page accidentally and forgot the URL. Or to make sure your kids are not looking at pr0n
U Show page source
More:
Y Open downloads window
K Focus goes to search bar
F Find in page
G Find Again (used in conjunction with Ctrl F)
J Page Info (same as properties in IE)
+ Increase font size -- i.e., "Ctrl+Shift+=" or "Ctrl+Mouse-Scroll"
- Decrease font size or "Ctrl+Mouse-Scroll"
S Save current page to disk
P Print current page
