Using keyboard shortcuts is second nature to any geek who is worth his weight in pocket protectors. For the rest of us, remembering what key combination does what can be more than a little hard. That is why I am happy to say that the folks at Mozilla have put together a great chart outlining all the Firefox shortcut keys there are.

The keyboard shortcuts Web page doesn’t waste time with a lot of fluff. It gets right to business with all your key combinations. It also has a few notes for Mac OS X users so they don’t get confused either. There is a lot of information here. Who knew there were so many keyboard shortcuts for this little browser?

Some of them are easy to remember. What does the “Ctrl key” plus the “B key” do? It opens and closes your bookmarks sidebar. Did you know though that if you hit the “Ctrl key” plus the “T key” you will open up a new tab? Pretty nifty stuff.

Internet Explorer and Opera users aren’t out in the cold either. The folks at Mozilla have even listed keyboard shortcuts for both of these other browsers as well. For the most part I think it is to show how many more shortcut key combinations there are in Firefox compared with the other two browsers.

So toss your mouse out the window and get to becoming more friendly with your keyboard.
