Long gone are the days in which the average user felt insecure at the computer. Almost everyone has become proficient in this business so much that we can compare it with a novice programmer. As a result, having understood the system, people try to use their time as rationally as possible, not to waste it on all sorts of trifles.
Such trifles include switching tabs in the browser. This problem is quite relevant, because now everyone has access to the Internet, and it is there that most of the time is spent. In this article, we will talk about how to switch between tabs using the keyboard, thereby speeding up the web.
So, let's figure out how to switch between tabs using the keyboard. The key assignment for this is quite simple. CTRL + TAB is responsible for this. As soon as you press this combination, the tab will switch to the right of the active one.
By continuing to press TAB, you will go further and further, and so on in a circle. It is noteworthy that all the hotkeys given in this article are universal. That is, you can use them in all browsers without exception.
The above was not the only way how to switch between tabs using the keyboard. It allows you to switch them sequentially, but this is rather inconvenient, especially if there are several tabs, and you need to get to a specific one. Now let's talk about how to switch between tabs using the keyboard so as to switch to a specific one.
For this, another is used - CTRL + 1 ... 9. By pressing a number from 1 to 9, you will switch to the corresponding tab. That is, the indicated figure is a serial number.
If you want to go to the next tab in order, then the keyboard shortcut CTRL + PageDown or the aforementioned CTRL + TAB will help you with this. We figured out how to switch between tabs using the keyboard to the next one, but many may ask why such a variety. Everything is very simple: different keyboards it is convenient to use different combinations.
If you decide to switch to the previous tab, then feel free to press the key combination CTRL + PageUp. In the event that it is inconvenient for you to press these buttons, you can use another combination - CTRL + SHIFT. The essence of such a layout of hot keys is quite simple. It consists (as in the previous case) in the fact that on some keyboards it is inconvenient to reach, for example, to PageUp, and on others, on the contrary, to SHIFT. This allows the user to decide for himself how it will be more convenient for him.
We have listed all the ways to switch between tabs using the keyboard. Using hotkeys may not always be convenient. That is why various browser add-ons have been developed. They are quite different from each other. Some allow you to assign hotkeys yourself, others bring specific changes. It's up to you which one to use.
On the Internet, very often come across pages of sites containing incredibly large amounts of text. Some people, in order to find a section of text or a word of interest on them, scroll the page for a very long time. In this case, you have to spend time and read extra material.
If you are one of those people, then this post will help you improve your web surfing skills. From it you will learn as quickly as possible find information on the website. Be it a word, a phrase or even a phrase.
To search for a section containing a word or a fragment of a word, it is very convenient to use hotkeys. They are incredibly helpful in making browsing easier. With their use, a seemingly trivial task becomes even simpler.
Keys to search for words on the page: F3 and Ctrl+F
The keyboard shortcut is standard for all browsers ( Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, IE, Yandex browser, Safari).
In order to find word per page in mac the following combination should be used: ⌘ + F
After clicking, a search box will appear under the toolbar of your browser, into which you should drive in the word or part of the word you need.
As you enter letters, you will automatically be redirected to the first fragment used on the page. The rest will be highlighted in yellow.
Use the arrows in the search menu to quickly navigate to the next or previous result.
On the scroll bar (scroll), the sections of the page that contain the word entered in the search will also be indicated. Which is also very convenient.
This is how, with the help of a few keys, you can easily find the text of interest on the site page, without reading extra "garbage".
Not many people know that in order to simplify and speed up the search for information on the Internet, each browser has a special key combination. With its help, you can quickly find the required information on a particular site. What is this combination and how to use it you will learn in this article.
Regardless of the version and name of the browser, the developers adopted as a standard a single key combination to call the search text input window on the page. These are consecutively pressed buttons on the keyboard. "CTRL" + "F".
CTRL + F buttons on the keyboard
As soon as you click them, a window will appear in one of the corners of the browser screen for entering the desired piece of text.
Page search in Mozilla Firefox
After entering a few letters, the browser will automatically highlight all matches on the current page.
Highlighting found text fragments on the browser page
It often happens that when looking for, for example, a specific problem in a BMW E60 car, you stumble upon a forum consisting of several hundred pages of 20 posts each. You are interested in a specific problem - "metal knocking from the front." In order not to read all the pages of this forum, just press the keyboard shortcut "CTRL" + "F" and in the input field enter "Metal" or "Knock".
The browser will automatically highlight all found matches, so you will find what you are looking for much faster.
In many of our articles you will see text like: Win + R .
This text indicates that you need to press the combination of the key with the Windows logo and the letter R.

Hot keys - keyboard shortcuts that allow you to get fast access to one function or another. Almost every program and themselves OS support certain hotkeys.
Yandex.Browser, however, like all other browsers, also has its own set of hotkeys. Our browser has a rather impressive list of combinations, some of which are recommended for all users to know.
You do not need to memorize the entire list of hotkeys, especially since it is rather big. It is enough to learn the most basic combinations that will be useful for you.
In addition, the browser itself constantly suggests which of the functions have their own keyboard shortcuts. For example, you can find these hints in " Settings»:
or in the context menu:
Unfortunately, you can't change the hotkey combination in your browser settings. But since the basic combinations are universal and applicable to many other programs, we hope that you will not find it difficult to remember them. In the future, this knowledge will save time not only in Yandex Browser, but also in other programs for Windows.
But if you still want to change keyboard shortcuts, we can recommend the Hotkeys browser extension:
Using hotkeys will make working in Yandex.Browser more efficient and convenient. Many actions can be performed much faster by pressing certain keyboard shortcuts. This saves you time and makes your browsing experience more productive.
