Better Web Browsing

Better Web Browsing

A few tips when browsing the web. Useful for most browsers:

GO BACK – Backspace – previous page (unless your cursor is in a text field) – instead of clicking on the back arrow

FIND – Control + F is find – Enter to find next item in your search – Escape to close your search

CLOSE – Escape to close most dialogue boxes – instead of clicking on the X

SWITCH – ALT + Tab switch between open programs – instead of clicking at the bottom of your screen (taskbar)

SCROLL – Mouse Wheel click push down to navigate any direction on the page

Click once to place your cursor – Click twice to highlight a word – Click three times to highlight a sentence.
