Cross Browser Shortcuts you would ask? What on earth am I talking about.

Well over the past few months I have been testing, configuring many different browsers on Mac, Linux and Windows for Multi-Browser Viewer. 

We all have a favorite browser or two. A browser, where know the relevant shortcuts, which enables us to browse efficiently. Well, reading up on one of my favourite bloggers - www.favbrowser.com I stumbled on a shortcut list they compiled a while back, which I found really helpful and thought you might too.

Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome, Opera

CTRL + T (New Tab) – Opens a new blank tab

CTRL + C (Copy), CTRL + V (Paste), CTRL + X (Cut) - The old favorites....better than the file, edit menu for sure....

CTRL + A - Select All content

CLTR + F (Find) – Find test on a page.

CTRL + +/- (Zoom In/Out) – Simple yet effective way to zoom in/out.

Home/End (Go to Page Top/Bottom) – A quick way to instantly go to the web page top or bottom. Useful if it requires a lot of scrolling on long content pages.

ALT + D – Moves your mouse cursor to the address bar.

F5 (Refresh) – and CTRL + F5 forces a complete refresh of the page.

 

Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome

CTRL + Click (Open Link in Background) – Does what it’s designed to do. Works great when opening lots of pages.

CTRL + D (Bookmark) – Easy bookmarking

 

Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera

CTRL+J (Transfers) – Instantly open your transfer’s window.

CTRL + Shift + T or CTRL + Z (Opera Only) – Opens your previously closed tab.

CTRL + U (View Source) – Especially helpful for designers and webmasters.

Instead of using a search box in the top right corner, you can type your search query directly to the address bar.
