Keyboard Shortcuts for Web Browsers

These are the keyboard shortcuts that I find quite useful that are common in most browsers.

• To highlight the text in Address/Location bar area:
  [Alt]d (Also [Ctrl]l or [F6] in Chrome and Firefox.)
• Select the Instant Search Box/Web Search:
  [Ctrl]e, [Ctrl]k, or [Ctrl]j
• Add "http://www." and ".com" to the text in the Address/Location Bar:
  [Ctrl][Enter]
• Open website or search result in new tab:
  [Alt][Enter]
• Open link in new foreground tab:
  [Ctrl][Shift]{Left Arrow} or
  [Ctrl][Shift]{middle mouse button}
• Open current webpage in new window (IE only):
  [Ctrl]n
• Open new tab:
  [Ctrl]t
• Add current page to Favorites/Bookmark this page:
  [Ctrl]d
• Open Favorites/Bookmarks:
  [Ctrl]i
• Open Favorite/Bookmark Manager:
  [Ctrl]b or [Ctrl][Shift]b
• Toggle Full Screen:
  [F11]
• Automatic Scrolling: Middle-Click and move the mouse up or down. (If your mouse does not have a Middle Button, click Left and Right buttons at the same time should achieve the same result.)
• Select Tab (1 to 8) (Chrome and Firefox only):
  [Ctrl]1 to 8
• Close tab:
  [Ctrl]w
  (In Chrome, you can use [Ctrl][Shift]t to reopen the tab that you just closed.)
• Find a word or phrase on a page:
  [Ctrl]f ([Ctrl]g to find again.)
  (In Firefox, use ' and / for incremental search for Link and Text, respectively.)
