Tech Tip: Navigating Tabs
Browsers and other applications use tabs as part of the user interface, allowing the user to multi-task within the application.
Here are some time-saving shortcut keys for navigating tabs within browsers and other applications.
Hotkey | Action |
CTRL+Tab | Move to the next tab |
CTRL+SHIFT+Tab | Move to the previous tab |
CTRL+F4 | Close the current tab |
CTRL+SHIFT+T | (Firefox and Chrome) Open the previously-closed tab |
Using hotkeys works especially well when you’re composing in one tab, while referencing material in a 2nd tab. Hotkeys allow you to move back and forth without lifting your hands off the keyboard.
