Everyone hates the mouse! Useful keyboard shortcuts for Internet Explorer
I never knew you like rodents that much! Stop reaching for that mouse as if it’s your best friend!
Here’s 2 keyboard short cuts that are so ingrained that I forgot that everyone doesn’t know about it. Someone was working with me on the pc and they were amazed about these 2 shortcuts. Now they swear by them. Here they are:
GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS SITE:
- Use ALT + the LEFT ARROW
Go to a new site QUICKLY:
- Use F6 to highlight the addressbar (nice, huh?)
- FORGET the “http://www.” and the “.com” and just type in the main website word (i.e. just type “essistme”)
- Hit CTRL + ENTER
- Internet Explorer automatically inserts the http://www. and .com at the end of the word you just typed and goes to that site!
