list of the most common keyboard and mouse shortcuts for IE, Opera and Firebird


I've never been a fanatical user of keyboard shortcuts, apart from maybe F5 , ctrl + C and ctrl + V, though when you start to remember some of the others, they become incredibly useful.

Check out this collection, comparison, reference of the most common keyboard shortcuts for IE, Opera and Firebird. It may enlighten you.

Now for the mouse shortcuts. What mouse shortcuts? I didn't know these things existed until about five minutes ago. This is stuff that works in IE too so it isn't as if its a new thing, I just haven't heard it mentioned. The only thing is, that you need to have a scroll wheel on your mouse to use most of them, but if you do, you'll be happy.

[Linux] Using the 3rd button to open a new tab in Mozilla


Oh yes, that reminds me... one of those precious mouse-shortcuts in Linux / Mozilla is the middle (3rd / Wheel) button to open the link in a new tab...

I wonder if you tell me if it's available in Firebird for Win32 systems? <edit>I was just looking at the chart again and found it! Yippeee!</edit>

Even more useful is that the new tab is opened in the background, so you're still on the page you were viewing. REALLY useful if you're on a dialup and web pages usually take a while to fully download.

There's a great extension called Tabbed Browser Extensions that allows much more powerful usage of the keyboard.

Whilst there are loads of functions possible with the mouse, I've just chosen the ones involving the keyboard below (from the site):

Quote:
You can reorder tabs by their drag and drop. Shift+Ctrl+PageUp and Shift+Ctrl+PageDown are available to move the current tab to right/left. When you drop the tab into another window, the tab will moved to the window.

You can undo Close Tab within 50 actions after. You can re-open the closed tab by Shift+Ctrl+Z or Alt+Z.

Shift+Alt+Left focuses to the tab previously selected. It will assist your multiple browsing.

You can save the current tabset (set of tabs) and load it with ease. Operations are called from the new submenu Load Tab Sets in Go menu. And, keyboard shortcuts are available: Shift+Ctrl+T to save the current tabset, Alt+L to show Load Tab Sets menu directly.

You can reopen all of closed tabs with ease. Operations are called from the new submenu Recent Closed Tabs in Go menu. And, a keyboard shortcut is available: Alt+R to show Recent Closed Tabs menu directly.

# You can open bookmarks and histories in tabs by middle-click or Ctrl(Command)+click of bookmarks.
# Middle-click or Ctrl(Command)+ クclick of bookmark folders like bookmark-groups. In the Tab Group Mode, you are also able to open bookmark groups as tab groups.
