There are colleagues who can do everything with just a few clicks. These 4 shortcuts help you save time and concentrate on the really important things:
- CTRL‑D: Always too many tabs open, but afraid to close them? Simply press Ctrl‑D to bookmark immediately. This way you can access it again and again and finally clean up your browser.
- Alt-Arrow: You lost your orientation in the search engine jungle? Links and clicks lead you to a new topic, the browser history gets longer and at some point the overview is lost, but there was this important page in between. By pressing the Alt-arrow key you can easily scroll back and forth.
- CTRL‑W: The screen is bulging over with programs, documents and folders open? With Ctrl‑W you close the currently opened window without a mouse click and get peace of mind. But don’t forget to use Ctrl‑S to save the document.
- CTRL-Shift‑T: Here is the rescue for all multi-tab users. Who doesn’t know it – you could finally get yourself to close a tab and then it happens: The whole browser was closed and the tabs were deleted. Don’t panic, with Ctrl-Shift‑T you can restore recently closed tabs (in the Google Chrome Browser). Just save it as a bookmark for security afterwards.
