[TIPS] Chrome Tips and Tricks - Dark Lotus - Mar 8, 2011
Here are a few tips and tricks for Google Chrome, can before you say I got these from somewhere else... That is obvious. I didn't creat these hotkeys and shortcuts myself...
Lets Begin:
ctrl + shift + B - Access your bookmars bar.
ctrl + T - New Tab
crtl + shift + t - Remembers and brings back the last tab you closed
ctrl + W - Closes current tab
ctrl + N - Opens new Chrome window
Crtl + Shift + N - Opens new "Incognito" window
Trick: Drag a link into tab area automatically opens that link into a new tab
Shift + esc - Chrome task manager
Ctrl + H- Opens History
Crtl + J- Opens Downloads
Ctrl + back button on browser - Opens your last page in a new tab w/o closing your current one
Ctrl + 1-9 - Quickly go through tabs
Ctrl + Tab - Quickly browse through tabs
Ctrl + L - Highlights url immediately w/o clicking
Ctrl + Shift + Delete - quickly delete history (opens "Clear browsing data" box)
Ctrl + "+" or "-"- zoom in and out
Ctrl + 0 - Brings window to original size
Other shortcuts that work almost universally:
Ctrl + Z - Undo
Ctrl + C - Copy to clipboard
Ctrl + V - Paste from clipboard
Ctrl + A - Highlight all
Ctrl + P - Print.
I hope this helped. Don't for get to comment and say thanks if it did :)

I knew most of them, but thanks for this one "crtl + shift + t - Remembers and brings back the last tab you closed".
I had no idea 🙂

Good post, I didn't know most of this because I never use shortcuts. But I might since I know now. xD
* - Dark Lotus - Mar 8, 2011
Yeah they are extremely helpful sometimes. I use Ctrl+Z more than I can count.

Given that I utilize IE, I won't have any use for this, but a friend of mine will, hence shall forward this to him.
Appreciated.

You folks do realize, that these shortcuts are not specific to Chrome but have been pretty well standard in other browsers for years before Chrome even existed. Also many but not all of them are native to Windows as well.
Take care

Very nice find. The Ctrl-Esc will help major when my plugins decide to go rogue :)

Well it's the same in Firefox also. And I think u can do the same thing by pressing Ctrl + Z in Opera, but I'm not entirely sure. 😅

Ctrl + Z is the undo keyboard shortcut, has been since software designers chose it for text editing at Xerox in the early 70's and was adopted by others for text editing including CP/M the original source for what became Bill Gates' MS-DOS.
Take care
