Keyboard Shortcuts for Mac and Chrome
- Tycho 16y agoThe one you can't afford to miss: Command-` Activate the next open window in the frontmost application
- jamies 16y agoAlso, hitting control-return in the omnibox will prepend "www" and append ".com". For example, you could type theoatmeal and hit control-return to be taken directly to www.theoatmeal.com.
- glenjamin 16y agoThis (afaik) is true of all major browsers, and has been for a long time. Although perhaps less obvious in the UI than in Chrome.
- psykotic 16y agoOn a related note: Use BetterTouchTool to re-bind four-finger upward swipe to tile/untile open windows in the frontmost application, and re-bind four-finger side swipe to activate the next/previous open window in the frontmost application. The default actions for those gestures are useless, IMO. I didn't see him mention Control-L for putting focus on the location bar in Chrome and other web browsers. I use that constantly.
- Tycho 16y agoI have exposé mapped to my middle mouse button, which i find very useful. But you cannot do this on the Magic Mouse (or whatever it's called) last time I checked, although I'm guessing there's a plugin to fix that. Still, it seems such an obvious feature to me, can't believe it's not included by default.
- messel 16y agoHoly crap how did I live without that binding. Updating the post asap!
- reustle 16y agoI had to read the title three times to not see Mac and Cheese.
- guygurari 16y agoMany of the Mac shortcuts don't work. For instance, F9 - Tile or untile all open windows does nothing on my Snow Leopard. Perhaps he's referring to an older version of Mac OS X?
- mark_story 16y agoIf you are on a laptop, or a keyboard with global application shortcuts on the f buttons, you might need to hold down the 'fn' key at the same time.
- messel 16y agoIt just worked on my imac, 10.6.7, using a dell keyboard
- mark_story 16y agoAwesome list, shift+tab is going to save me so much time in Mail.app its not even funny.
