Your Window to Online Shopping - Save Time with Keyboard Shortcuts
The web browser is your window to online shopping; learning a handful of keyboard shortcuts can save you a lot of time window shopping online.
Here are some great keyboard shortcuts that will help make browsing and navigating all those web pages a lot easier.
Some web pages can be really long which makes scrolling up and down a bit of a drag. Often you've made your way to the bottom of the page and then all you really want to do is jump back to the top. On the other hand you might want to check out the bottom of the page first and then work your way back up slowly.
CTRL Home - Jump to the top of the page
CTRL End - Jump to the bottom of the page
Actually you don't need to use CTRL in your browser; however it's better to learn the shortcut this way because it's more universal and works in most applications (documents, spreadsheets, emails etc)
Scrolling with the mouse is good if you need to digest all the information but sometimes you need to move up or down a page quickly while scanning the page.
Page Up - Scroll up, one section/screen at a time
Page Down - Scroll down, one section/screen at a time
Talk about a useful shortcut, CTRL F is a beauty! Think of it as a mini search engine for a single web page (or any other type of page for that matter).
CTRL F activates the Find dialog box so you can search the contents of a page. Instead of scrolling all the way down the page looking for something specific you can jump to it quickly using the Find command.
CTRL F - Opens the Find Dialog Box
For example, let's say you land on a mobile phone product page and you want to know what size the battery is. All you do is activate the Find Dialog using CTRL F, type 'battery' and press enter. If there are multiple instances of the word 'battery' you just keep pressing Enter until you get to the one you want.
Like other great shortcuts CTRL F works in most applications.
Save time when you shop online and use a keyboard shortcut today ;)
