Time for another "general technical tip" thread

[J-Mac]

In a tabbed browser like Firefox or IE7:

-Ctrl+Tab cycles forward between tabs.
-Ctrl+Shift+Tab cycles backward between tabs.
-Ctrl+W closes the active tab.
-In IE7, Ctrl+Q cuts to a icon-display of all tabs in a browser.

-'Backspace' takes you back a page.
-Shift+Backspace takes you forward.


That's all I got for now, post more if you got 'em. Even if they are totally obvious and standard to you, someone probably doesn't know them and might find them really useful.

In Windows OS:

Windows key + E brings up Windows explorer

Windows+L locks the machine

Windows+M closes all Windows and brings up Desktop

Windows+R brings up the Run window, where you can quickly type notepad, winword, or other shortcut names

how do you scroll through apps in windows without the mouse? You push something and that little bar comes up in the middle?

Clicking a link in Firefox with the scroll wheel brings it up in a new tab.

I think this is something that everyone in OOT who has posted from work knows.
