Keyboard Shortcuts for Internet Explorer

If you use Internet Explorer, there are a number of handy keyboard shortcuts to make your browsing experience faster and more efficient.

TechRepublic is a web site used mostly by techies and computer professionals. But it also contains some very handy keyboard shortcuts for many applications, including Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE). Take a look here for their download, "30+ Keyboard shortcuts to move faster in Microsoft Internet Explorer". When you click on the download button, you'll have to register an account on TechRepublic first. Alternatively, as I mentioned in a previous article, you can use BugMeNot if you don't want to register an account just to check out the keyboard shortcut. I still recommend signing up, I've been a member for years and only get the email newsletters that I've requested - nothing more.

Some keyboard shortcuts they have listed are:

  • Ctrl + B Organize Favorites
  • Ctrl + E Open the Search bar
  • Ctrl + H Open the History bar
  • Ctrl + O Open a new Web page, document, or folder
  • F11 Switch between full-screen/normal view
  • ESC Stop downloading a page
TechRepublic also has more keyboard shortcut downloads for other programs too.
