NOTE: If you don’t have Chrome or don’t use it, don’t worry. Many, if not most, of these shortcuts, work in Internet Explorer, Edge and Firefox as well.
Nothing saves time like great keyboard shortcuts. They save you the time of hunting down the correct dialog box or menu item. The only problem with keyboard shortcuts is…remembering them. The best way to remember them is to use them.
While this tip was written for Chrome, you’ll find that many of these shortcuts work with Internet Explorer, Edge and Firefox too. Just try them. It won’t hurt anything — they’ll either work, they’ll do something different than described below, or they won’t work at all. You will never know until you try!
