A Handbook For "Power Use"
of The Hottest New Browser Today
Note: Mac users substitute Open Apple for ALT, and Command Key
for CTRL.
ALT-D
to jump insertion point to address bar.
Instead of lunging for your mouse, try this
slick technique for opening a new page. Press ALT-D, and your
insertion point (cursor) will jump to the address bar. Then simply
overtype the existing address.
CTRL-Enter
to type "www...com" quickly.
When combined with ALT-D above, this works
wonders! Once you are in the address bar, there is no need to
type the http:// prefix or the www. or the .com domain names.
Simply type the middle portion of the desired address, and press
CTRL-Enter.
e.g. If you type CNN and press CTRL-Enter, you
will go to http://www.cnn.com
CTRL-Mouse wheel spin
to enlarge or shrink page font size
That screen font is too small or too large for
you? No worries, simply spin your mousewheel while holding
CTRL. Your font size changes incrementally.
CTRL-T
to launch a new tab
A favorite trick for power Internet users...
this enables you to read your Gmail or Hotmail, while searching
Google, and simultaneously checking your stocks and weather reports.
CTRL-T launches a new tab (effectively a
new browser window, but without all the memory overhead of a full
window).
SHIFT-Click
a link
to launch a new window with the link.
If you are doing research, and wish to keep your
current location while browsing another, use SHIFT while you click
on a link. The new page opens in a second window.
