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

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.
