Webby Tips you prolly know already
June 30th, 2008I’ve learned most of these “tricks” not so long ago. None of these are impressive, but maybe there’s a small chance you’ve been living under an e-rock like I have and didn’t know about it.
F5 is something everyone should use, hands down. F6 has it’s obvious uses. You don’t have to struggle with trying to highlight the address yourself. (Sometimes the icon at the address bar works funky.)
I’ve prolly known about this and the one above the longest.
This is something I actually found out within this past year. Yeah, I know it’s silly, but I’ve been using just IE6 for the longest time, and never really used tabs in browsers. E-fail.
Everybody knows what the Tab key does. This, on the other hand, I’ve found that some people were unaware.
I don’t use this quite so often, but it has it’s uses. For example, you could type “soursprite” in the address bar, and Ctrl+Enter will bring you to this website. Saves you an entire three keystrokes!
Very unimpressive, I know. But there are people who actually don’t know these things. Hey! Don’t look at me like that.

I usually do the Ctrl+L for the highlighting the hyperlink, although that doesn’t quite work the same in IE over Firefox.

I’m pretty sure you don’t need the Ctrl+Enter anymore. Nowadays, if you just type in “soursprite”, it’ll take you to the site. Or, you know, the closest match. Or, you know, the google search for it.
