Cool IE trick :)

[pagemap]

You can go forwards and backwards with alt + left or right arrows.

You learn something new everyday. :)

The keyboard is mightier than the mouse! :D

Gotta love keyboard shortcuts!

[speedracer120]

Did you just read a IE for Dummies book or something? j/k

I love keyboard shortcuts, they're extremely helpful when you're on a laptop.

hehe I have a button on my keyboard just for the "BACK" feature :)

[cheapie]

by far my favorite ie trick is typing the company name in the address bar hitting control-enter to add the http:// and the .com. use it ALL the time.

[hang10wannabe]

i like both alt F4 and ctrl W

it kills pop ups good... and u need that when visiting all those por... news sites... yes :shifty:

I have one too, its called the "backspace" key. :P

[attgig]

i do everything using keyboard... (or at least try to)

i like the windows key shortcuts :) (on-ie)
window D
window M
window shift M
window E
window F

[ribitch]

on macs:

delete - back
shift delete - forward
apple left - back
apple right - forward

apple h - hide
apple m - minimize

apple q - quit
apple w - close window

you can type in an address without the www or .com and it will automatically add it without any special key strokes. You can also type page titles and it will go there from you favorites quick links or history

Mahalo learned one.

Being as I am generally surfing 90% of my work day, Alt-Tab is by far my favorite shortcut.. bosses get suspicious if you keep moving your mouse EVERYTIME they walk buy.. But, since they can't see my hands, I can just alt-tab and they are clueless to what I'm doing.. they just think I'm typing or something.

YAY for alt-tab!!11

If you have a wheelmouse, you can zoom in and out of text by holding ctrl down and scrolling with the wheel.

Very scientific.

Trial and Error.

it's not quite zoom
it's the view->text size.
up gets bigger and down gets smaller.
so, the pr0n pictures don't get bigger if u do this :P

Something new I learned! So, I tried it and I'm like...hey, this isn't working! My computer just must be slow though because it worked after that. This will be helpful on those websites where they decide to use size 4 font because it's "artistic".

o.O all these years with M$ stuff and u ppl still dont know????

mine makes biscuits

[DankNstickY]

ohh how bout these. i just remembered them:

shift+click(on link) = opens link in new window

ctrl+click (on explorer windows. example: while browsing through "my documents" folder) = opens folder in new window

alt+space+n = minimize window

alt+space+x = maximize window

f4 (in browser) = takes ur cursor(is it the cursor? the line that blinks where u're typing) up to the address toolbar. ready for u to type away.


ctrl+alt+del + ctrl+alt+del when comp freezes while playing games on windows ME :rolleyes: = solves your problem for at least 20 minutes

:P

You can also move back and forth in your history by pressing shift and scrolling with the wheel. I just found out by hitting it instead of ctrl.

i just realized that ctrl+tab does the same thing without bringing the your whole "history list" (?) down.

heh i just quoted myself.
