And if you're using a kickass browser like Chrome, you can even restore it even if
you closed the entire chrome browser.
If you have 4 tab open, and you accidentally click the X and close everything.
Open a new browser, Ctrl+Shit+T, and you get all 4 tabs back.
Not sure if Firefox can do this.

gah | you don't even need to type out the .com part now. Just type in "google" in the address bar then hit ctrl + enter. Automatically puts in the rest for you. Posted via RS Mobile | |

also another trick from wayback
if you bookmark a page and have a custom name for that bookmark,
just type in that name in the adress bar and it will take you to the bookmarked page

www depends on the way the webserver is set up. I have visited some sites (not the big ones such as yahoo, google etc) which require the www.

Automatically puts in the rest for you. | The thing is, some people (or maybe just me) can type ".com" faster than sliding my hand to the right, to press Ctrl+Enter.
And I use google.ca so it's a bit faster than .com by one key stroke. lol
Then again, I barely go to google, since typing in the url bar is like searching on google, and if I Alt + Home key, it goes to my
home site, which is set to google.ca Quote:

Not bad... can most standard keyboard do this? Cause I have a gaming keyboard.
Another useful one is Alt + D
Puts your cursor to the URL bar, so you don't have to move your mouse to click it when you want to go to a new site.
some keyboards can't do that without having errors

Alt + D owns. Love that one. Use it all the time to go to new websites and everything. I prefer navigating via keyboards rather than mouse movements.

Here's my contribution.. (these are for Windows)
1) To minimize all your windows in a hurry, hit Windows + D. (D for Desktop)
2) To run something, instead of Start -> Run, hit Windows + R.
3) To delete something permanently (instead of sending it to the Recycle Bin then having to empty it) use Shift + Del instead of Del.
