Keyboard Shortcuts

Postby jaincool on 16 September 2008

1.CTRL and SHIFT and N : It opens up a Chrome 'incognito' window which allows you to surf on a PC without
leaving any cache.

2.Shift and esc :It opens up the chrome task manager

3CTRL and SHIFT and T:It Will open recently closed browser tabs.

4.Custom searches:When you want to run a search directly from Google's address bar , also known as the Omnibar, just type a question mark (?) followed by a keyword.

These tips are really cool and will help you improve the browsing experience

CTRL+B opens your bookmark toolbar for the ones that miss it dearly...like me.

Use Ctrl + F to locate the text that you have typed in the search bar! It is a very handy way to locate those texts that you intend to search in a long webpage.

Just like for the 'www' '.com' CTRL + ENTER
Isn't there one for the 'www' '.net' or 'www' '.org'?
I know that in firefox the '.net' is SHIFT + ENTER and
'.org' is CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER but they don't work in Chrome.
