1. Take advantage of tabbed browsing - While reading any web page if you come across a link you may be interested in open that link in a new tab so it can be viewed later. A new tab can be opened by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking the link or if you have a mouse with a wheel click the link with the middle mouse button.
2. Enter a quick URL - You don't need the http:// portion of a web page - When typing an Internet address you do not need to type http:// or even www. in the address. For example, if you wanted to visit Lenovo’s website, you can just type Lenovo and then press Ctrl + Enter to type out the full http://www.lenovo.com address.
3. Quickly move between the fields of a web page - If you're filling out an online form, e-mail, or other text field you can quickly move between each of the fields by pressing the Tab key or Shift + Tab to move back a field. For example, if you're filling out your name and the next field is your e-mail address you can press the Tab key to switch to the e-mail field.
4. Use Internet search engines to their full potential - If you're not finding what you want try surrounding the text in quotes. For example, if you were searching for Kelowna ‘computer repair' this actually searches for pages that contain both computer and repair and not necessarily pages that have computer and repair next to each other.
5. Know your Internet browser shortcuts - There are dozens of different shortcut keys that can be used with Internet browsers. Below are a few:
· Pressing Alt + D in any major Internet browser will move the cursor into the address bar. This is a great way to quickly enter an Internet address without having to click the mouse cursor in the address bar.
· Press F5 to refresh or reload a web page.
· Press F11 to make the Internet browser screen full screen. Press F11 again to return back to the normal view.
· Press Ctrl + B to open your Internet bookmarks.
· Press Ctrl + F to open the find box in the browser to search for text within the web page you're looking at.
