Key Combinations, which are also referred as the shortcut keys,
are a set of combinations of different keys from the keyboard where you will
need to press them together to carry out a particular task for which those keys
are responsible. Just like in the operating system, the web browsers can also
be run only by using the key combination. A professional computer system user
rarely uses the mouse and brings out every task only through the keyboard.
It is simple to use a web browser with a mouse to switch the tabs,
which is also accessible and more comfortable to handle through a keyboard. You
just have to know the shortcut keys for the task. Remember every shortcut key
is a key sequence which is responsible for executing the particular task that
it is assigned to perform. If you are in need of learning the key combinations
and want to work on web browsers like a pro user, then follow this guide to
check out the key combinations and their functions.
A majority of people prefer using either Mozilla Firefox or Google
Chrome, hence this guide is providing the key combinations of these two major
internet browsing software. But before getting started, you should know that
the key combinations can differ depending on the web browsers, hence select the
one you are using and proceed to check out the key sequences.
