General Internet Explorer 7 Keyboard Shortcuts

Posted by on Mar 22, 2007 | 3 Comments

I’m one of those users who prefers using my keyboard rather than my mouse to launch various programs and perform different actions. Not only do I find it faster, but I also find it easier. Each program you install will have a set of keyboard shortcuts. For example, all of the Microsoft Office application supports numerous keyboard shortcuts that you can use to perform different actions. For example, I prefer for use the CTRL + F keyboard shortcut to open the Find window in Word, instead of using my mouse to click the required menu option.

If you are a frequent Web browser, you might want to learn some of the general keyboard shortcuts used in Internet Explorer 7. Some of these shortcuts are listed below.

  • ALT+HOME – Return to the home page
  • ALT+LEFT – Go backward
  • ALT+RIGHT – Go forward
  • F5 – Refresh the page
  • ESC – Stop downloading the page
  • CTRL+F – Find a word or phrase on a page
  • CTRL+N – Open the current Webpage in a new window
  • CTRL+P – Print the current page
  • CTRL+A – Select all items on the page
  • CTRL+I – Open favorites
  • CTRL+D – Add the current page to favorites

    Don’t forget that CTRL+TAB takes you from one IE7 tabbed browser to the next. SHIFT+CTRL+TAB (a little difficult to do with just one hand) reverses the direction.

    How about adding a couple?
    Alt+D – goes to the address bar even with tabs
    Ctrl+E – goes to the search function that is in IE7
    Ctrl+tab – switches to the next tab
    Ctrl+shift+tab – switches to the previous tab
    these are the ones that I use on a daily basis.
