#BEST WINDOWS KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS WINDOWS#
Windows right click key, next to the right alt can be very useful. But there are plenty more, sometimes kind of hidden shortcuts, while working in Windows 10. Most of them work in many apps and programs as well, not just on the operating system level. I just tried the middle button in IE 7 and seems to work just like it does in FF, except for the Back-button and Search widget. Ctrl + W to close the current window/app. Simply middle-click anywhere on the tab and it will be closed. You don't have to click the tab's red button to close it. Closing tabs is also much easier with the middle mouse button (of course you can do Ctrl+W but sometimes the mouse is simply in your hand). The magical thing about this is that it works even for the browser's Back button! Also when you type a search term into the Google box (usually in top right corner) and middle-click the search button, the search results are opened in a new tab. Alt+Tab : cycle through applications 1->2->3->4->.1 Add Shift to the shortcut and you will be cycling in the opposite direction 1Open Link in New Tab?Ĭlick a link with MIDDLE mouse button and it will open in a new tab (depends on your Tabs settings in Tools->Options but by default would work). Use Win-Shift-M to restore them to their previous state.īy the way, did you notice that the Sift key can be combined with most of the usual shortcuts? e.g. Many say that Win- D minimises all applications. That way, if something goes wrong with the submit (even if the browser crashes), you haven't lost your work - you have a copy of it sitting on the clipboard. Before submitting a web form where you've entered a lot of text into a text field (for example, an email in a web-based mail client - or a new question or answer on Stack Overflow!), do a quick Ctrl+ A, Ctrl+ C on the field.Ctrl+ Home / Ctrl+ End - Go to beginning/end of the current field or document.Ctrl+ left arrow / Ctrl+ right arrow - Move the caret to the previous/next word.Continue to hold Shift and navigate to select more text. Shift+ - Select text between the caret's previous and new positions.Ctrl+ A - Select All (in the current field or document).This is just the most basic: minimising and. A few basic keyboard shortcuts for clipboard operations, text selection, and navigation that work in most Windows programs: Windows: Alt+Space+N (minimise)/Alt+Space+X (maximise) Mac: Cmd+M/Cmd+L There are a few shortcuts for minimising and maximising your windows.
