Mouse-less Firefox: HOT KEYS


(picture from lifehacker.com)

It has been a hard time for me to use tab-browsing FireFox with heavy using mouse. Finally, I find out the Key-Combinations to switch tabs.

Most combinations are from lifehacker.com.

A. Switch Tab:
1. Forward switch: Ctrl + Tab
2. Backward switch: Ctrl + Shift + Tab
3. Specific choose which tab you want: Ctrl + 1, Ctrl + 2, Ctrl + 3, and etc.

B. Close Window/Tab:
1. Close Tab: Ctrl+W (If there is no any other tabs opened, Ctrl + W will close current window.)
2. Close Window (no matter what how many tabs openning): Ctrl+Shift+W

C. Direct locate to Address/Location Bar:
Ctrl + L

D. Open new blank Windows/Tab:
1. Open new blank tab: Ctrl + T
2. Open new window: Ctrl + N

E. Open link to new Windows/Tab:
1. Open link at new tab: Ctrl+Enter
2. Open link at new window: Shift + Enter
