The Internet is a vast and powerful resource and can be overwhelming for some users. Below we have provided our top tips and tricks for utilizing the Internet and an Internet browser.

Take advantage of tabbed browsing

Take full advantage of tabbed browsing on all Internet browsers. While reading an article or browsing a website, you may come across a link that interests you. Any link to another page can be opened in a new tab so it does not interrupt your reading. To perform this action, hold down the Ctrl and left-click the link. If you have a mouse with a wheel, click the link by depressing the wheel instead of rolling it. Either of the methods opens a link in a new window.

TipTo open a new blank tab, press Ctrl+T at the same time.

You don't need the http:// portion of a web page

When entering an Internet address, you do not need to type http:// or even www in the address. For example, if you wanted to visit TeQ I.Q., you could type teqiq.com and press Enter. To make things even quicker, if you are visiting a .com address you can type teqiq and then press Ctrl+Enter to type out the full https://www.teqiq.com address.

Quickly move between the fields of a web page

If you fill out an online form, e-mail, or other text fields, you can quickly move between the fields by pressing the Tab or Shift+Tab to move back a field. For example, in the example form below you can click in the "First Name" field type anything and press Tab to switch to the next field.

TipThis tip also applies to buttons, if you press Tab the buttons can also be highlighted. Once a button is highlighted press the spacebar or Enter to push the button.

TipWith a drop-down box that lists several options, you can press the first letter to scroll down to that letter. For example, click the drop-down box below and then press U to quickly scroll to Utah.

TipYou can also use the autofill feature to fill in common form fields.

Know your Internet browser shortcuts

There are different shortcut keys that can be used with Internet browsers. Below are a few of our top suggested Internet browser shortcuts.

  • Press Alt+D or Ctrl+L to move the cursor into the address bar.
  • Hold down the Ctrl and press the + or - to increase and decrease the size of text. Ctrl+0 resets the text.
  • Press the backspace or press Alt+Left arrow to go back a page.
  • Press F5 or Ctrl+R to refresh or reload a web page.
  • Press F11 to make the Internet browser screen full screen. Press F11 again to return to the normal view.
  • Press Ctrl+B to open your Internet bookmarks.
  • Press Ctrl+F to open the find box to search for text in the web page you are reading.
