Those around our offices are always looking for shortcuts and ways to better use our time. We compiled a list below of our favorite Shortcusts and Tip with Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox.
If you find an interesting in web page, add it to your Favorites or Bookmarks:
Press the CTRL + D keys
If you don't want to lose the web page you are currently looking at but you want to click on a link on that web page, open it in a new window:
1. Right Click on the link
2. Select 'Open in new window'
Instead of using the mouse to click the 'Back' button
Press the BACKSPACE key
To open a new Window (Tab)
Press the CTRL + T keys
To move to another Window (Tab - within IE or Firefox)
Press and hold the CTRL key and press Tab
To find a phrase or keyword on the web page
Press the CTRL + F keys (this is my personal fav!)
When completing an on-line form:
• Press the TAB key to move to the next field (instead of using the mouse)
• Press and hold the SHIFT and press TAB to move to the previous field
Instead of typing 'www.myfavoritewebsite.com', just:
In the address bar (where you see 'http://wwww.myfavoritewebsite.com')
1. Enter the name of the website you want to visit
Ex. 'statesman' for the Austin American Statesman
2. Press the CTRL + ENTER keys
-This inserts the 'www' and .com' before and after 'statesman'
-You are taken to the website
More shortcuts = more time to bike, run, hang with friends, fish or you fill in the blank.
