[TIPS] Chrome Tips and Tricks

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
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
