12 Days of Google Tips: Tip 6 - Google Chrome Keyboard Shortcuts


Tis the season of giving and I've been inspired by my PLN and a certain holiday song to share some Google Workspace Tips that I've either discovered or rediscovered in 2021. To be precise, the plan is two share 12 Google tips in addition to any other posts I am inspired to complete during the month of December. I will link other 12 Days of Google posts at the end of each post for your reference. 

Today I wanted to share my sixth tip connected to the best keyboard shortcuts everyone should know when using the Chrome Browser.

Chrome keyboards make the Chrome browser experience much more efficient. There is a shortcut for just about every Chrome feature. Here are a few of our favorites: 

  • F1 = Open Google Chrome Help in new tab. 
  • Ctrl+Shift+T = Reopen recently closed tab.
  • Ctrl+1-8 = Pressing Ctrl and any number1 through 8 will move to the corresponding tab in your tab bar.
  • Ctrl+9 = Switch to the last tab. 
  • Ctrl+Tab = Scroll through tabs.
  • Ctrl+H = Show history.
  • Ctrl+J = Open Downloads window.
  • Ctrl+K = Move the cursor to the Omnibox (address bar).
  • Ctrl+T = Open a new tab.
  • Ctrl+W = Close the current tab. 
  • Ctrl+F = Opens a text search box for the page.
  • Ctrl+L = Hightlight url in omnibox.
  • Ctrl+C = Copy text to clipboard.
  • Ctrl+V = Paste text from clipboard.
  • Ctrl+Shift+N = Open new incognito window.
  • Ctrl+Shift+Delete = Clear Browsing Data.
  • Ctrl+Shift+B = Show or hide the Bookmarks bar.

  • Mac Chrome Keyboard Shortcuts

Bonus
Chromebooks use many of the same shortcuts, but there are a few extras that are worth exploring if you use a Chromebook. 
The Chromebook Simulator is another great resource to explore keyboard shortcuts is the Chromebook keyboard shortcuts.
