The majority of us use many tabs on our Windows or Mac computers while surfing the internet for anything. But occasionally, using a mouse to navigate between various tabs might get tedious or take a long time.
This is where keyboard shortcuts may be useful since they involve less effort and can decrease wrist movement, making them more efficient. We’ve compiled a collection of helpful keyboard keys for managing or swiftly navigating among browser tabs.
Open A New Tab
The majority of us move our mouse several times a day only to open a new tab, however, the Ctrl + T shortcut is another way to accomplish this. Additionally, this centres the attention on the address bar, allowing you to quickly punch in your preferred search engine and find everything you’re looking for.
Go Incognito
Do you want to search but don’t want your browser to track you down? Use the Ctrl + Shift + N shortcut to quickly open the incognito mode in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Brave. The key sequence is ‘Ctrl + Shift + P’ if you use Firefox.
Reopen The Last Closed Tab
Have you ever accidentally closed a tab while working? The ‘Ctrl+ Shift + T’ combination will save you trouble even if you move the mouse to the top bar, right-click on it, and choose to reopen the last tab.
Switch Between Tabs
If you have several tabs open and find it difficult to use a mouse to travel between them, you may use the shortcut ‘Ctrl + Tab’ to go to the next tab or ‘Ctrl + Shift + Tab’ to go back to the tab before it.
Open A New Window
Use the shortcut ‘Ctrl + N’ to open a new browser window. The typing cursor right away centres on the address bar, allowing you to swiftly search for anything, just as when you start a new tab.
