Google Chrome, Firefox, and Internet \t\tExplorer Keyboard Shortcuts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keyboard shortcuts are great for those who don’t like using a mouse. \t\tThey can also save you time. We took a little heat for selecting Google \t\tChrome (browser) as our freeware pick a few weeks ago – but we stand by \t\tour pick. Why? Because, while it has a few bugs, it’s getting better and \t\tbetter. And hey! It’s still in beta testing. It’s already, arguably, the \t\tfastest browser. So it’s only going to get better. It doesn’t hurt to \t\ttry new things. You can still use whatever browser you like best.<\/p>\n

Since many of you have already downloaded and tried Google’s Chrome, we \t\tthought it would be an excellent time to go over some browser keyboard \t\tshortcuts. A few of these are tagged “Chrome only” which means, duh, \t\tthey work in Google’s new Chrome browser only. But most of these \t\tshortcuts work in Firefox, IE, and Chrome. So whether you use Internet \t\tExplorer, Firefox or Chrome, or all three, you’ll find some useful tips \t\tthat will help make your browser easier.<\/p>\n

The following two shortcuts are for Chrome only.<\/p>\n

* (Chrome only) Ctrl+B toggles the bookmarks bar on and off.
\n* (Chrome only) Shift+Escape opens Google Chrome’s Task Manager.<\/p>\n

All of the following shortcuts work in Firefox and Chrome. Most work in \t\tInternet Explorer as well.<\/p>\n

\n* Ctrl+K moves your cursor to the address bar to enter a Google search.
\n* Ctrl+T opens a new tab.
