From reader Drew, a recent switcher:
A couple more tips you might want to add that took me about a week to figure out:
I have a couple Firefox shortcuts that I used ALL the time on my PC, but when I moved to Mac, I had a very hard time finding out how to do them.
The most useful keyboard shortcut, in my opinion, is the ctrl-enter in Windows within a browser. It adds http://www. and .com to the proper places if you enter the domain name only. So, if you want to go to Google, you just type ‘google’ in the address bar and hit ctrl-enter. The Mac equivalent is command-enter.
The second shortcut was more difficult to discover on Mac. It’s alt-D in windows, and it jumps the cursor to the address bar and highlights all text, so you can then use the shortcut above to go to the site of your choice - all without touching your mouse. The Mac equivalent is command-L, which is a little harder to do easily for me (so far) but it’s invaluable.
Try out these shortcuts and you will soon realize they are great tools.
Thanks, Drew!
