Internet is the part of everyday routine for a normal human being. We actually can not survive without the internet. In this post I am going to mention few tips of the internet for better browsing experience.
1] URL or Internet Address Tips:
Whenever you want to access any website, you simply go and type the url (uniform resource locator) in the address bar of the browser. While entering you do not need to type http:// or https:// or www. in the address bar. Simply, you can write the name of the website e.g. computertweaks.in , if the domain of the website has .com , .net you can simply use shortkeys.
For Dot com: Write name of the site, lets say google and press CTR + Enter
For Dot net: Write name of the site, lets say india and press SHIFT + Enter
2] How to move quickly between the fields of a form on any web page?
While filling up online forms, you can easily move from one field to another field quickly by pressing Tab button. Tab can be used to go to next field and Shift + Tab can be used to go to the previous field.
Note: This applies to all the available objects such as text boxes, buttons and links.
Tip: With a drop-down box that lists dozens of options you can press the first letter to scroll down to that letter. For example, click the drop down box below and then press "u" to quickly scroll to Utah.
3] How to Play with the Tabs?
Want to switch between the tabs? or want to close a single tab using key board shortcut, here is the way:
To toggle among the open tabs in Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox or almost any other internet browser,
simply use CTR + T. You will be able to toggle from one tab to another.
If you want to close the open tab, Simply press CTR + W, this will close the currently open tab. If there is only one tab open, it will close the Window. (you can user CTR + W in other programs as well)
4] More Browser shortcuts
There are a number of different shortcut keys available that make your browsing experience simple. Here is a list of few of such short keys.
- Press Alt + D to move the cursor into the address bar.
- Hold down the Ctrl key and press the + or -to increase and decrease the size of text. Ctrl + 0 will reset the text.
- Press the backspace key or press Alt key + left arrow to go back a page.
- Press F5 to refresh or reload a web page.
- Press F11 to make the Internet browser screen full screen. Press F11 again to return to the normal view.
- Press Ctrl + B to open your Internet bookmarks.
- Press Ctrl + F to open the find box to search for text within the web page you are reading.
5] Use Internet search engines to their full potential
Some times while searching, we do not get what actually we are looking for. When we use combination of words as key words, it searches all the occurrences of each word in the search. e.g. when you search Computer Tweaks, it will show pages having computer tweaks, computer and tweaks separately as well.
If you want strictly that the whole term should be present on the page; simply use a quote for searching. e.g. Use the previous search as "computer tweaks", it will now search pages having whole term.
