Hey monkeys,
This might be a silly question but I've been playing around with this on my own quite a bit and still find myself running into hurdles.
I'm fairly proficient in not using a mouse when working in Excel and PPT, but I'm still trying to fully rid myself of the mouse.
I still struggle when I'm browsing the Internet and am curious if there's any tutorials or list of shortcuts anyone could provide to help? For example, when browsing through WSO, how are you navigating through all the potential posts to click on? Or how are you hitting the drop downs in the top right of the screen to see your comment history or messages? Are you just holding Tab for a while till your computer magically gets you there?
Know this is a really trivial question, but puzzled by how people fully ditch the mouse. Any help would be appreciated!
P.s. I did try to Google and search on this forum but couldn't really find the magic formula. I know that we can use F6 and Tab to achieve just about anything but doesn't always seem like the most efficient route (vs. mouse)
I use the mouse
with little bit of training you can use almost any website without a mouse. even standard keyboards can navigate with tab, enter, arrows, etc. on the OS side you can enable accessibility options as well.
QMK would enable a lot more but that is another purchase you don't have to make just for browsing.
Ctrl-T - new tab
Ctrl-Page Up/Down - Alternate through tabs
Alt-D - Highlights address bar
Good start. I would also add:
Alt+Tab for switching between windows (applies to any window, not just Internet browsers)
Cltr+W for closing tabs
Windows key + arrow keys to minimize/maximize/snap windows
Windows key + Tab to see all windows at once
Cltr+Shift+K for duplicating tabs (not in Chrome, but in new Edge)
Vimium chrome extension is clutch (works like alt in microsoft)
Thanks for the mention, literally changed my life (saving me about 60 hours a year) big kudos to you
