Here's a good tip to get stared with. We’ve been typing www.WebsiteNameHere.com for a while now and there’s got to be a better way. Good news, there is! Imagine just typing in the name of the website and a two key combination to complete the address and you’re done. Here’s how to do it.
In your browser simply type the name of the website that you would like to go to, like CNN, the type Ctrl + Enter at the same time to automatically fill in the www. at the beginning and the .com at the end of the address.
Here’s what it looks like:
1. Type in cnn into the navigation bar
2. Next type Ctrl + Enter for .com addresses
You’ve just saved yourself a bunch of unnecessary keystrokes. This works in Internet Explorer, Firefox and even Chrome. Try it out, I’m sure you’ll like it and never want to go back to typing www. and .com again.
Here is a listing of the keystrokes for easy web browsing
Ctrl + Enter for .com addresses
Shift + Enter for .net addresses
Ctrl + Shift + Enter for .org addresses
You can also add the Alt key to any of these to open the address in a new tab, which is pretty cool. Here’s what it looks like.
1. Type in ebay (or any other website) into the navigation bar
2. Next type Ctrl + Enter +Alt to open the site in a new tab
Pretty cool, huh? Try it out and impress your friends and co-workers.
Unfortunately, I have not found a shortcut for .edu addresses, which is a real shame since I work at a .edu. Please let me know if you're familiar with a .edu or any other keyboard shortcut to make web browsing faster and more efficient.
