As Google Chrome strip all of the menubar from it’s working area, they hide the accessories in Shortcut. We can call all that function by a combination of keystrokes. There’s many keystrokes combination in Google Chrome, you can check it
in Google Chrome Support page. I’ll list most important of them:
Open Window and Tab
- CTRL+N is Open a new Window
- CTRL+T or clicking plus sign beside address bar will give you a new tab
- CTRL+SHIFT+N will open a new windows in Incognito Window. What’s incognito Window?. It’s a window that not record what you’ve visited. You don’t need to clear out visit history, as it’s not recorded. So, with incognito window, you can surf privately
- CTRL+Click a link with left mouse will open link in new tab
Google Chrome feature shortcuts
- Alt+F will opens the Tools menu, which lets you customize and control Google Chrome
- Alt+E, will opens the Page menu, which lets you control the page you're viewing
- SHIFT+ESC will take you to Chrome Task Manager. It’s similar to Windows task manager when you push CTRL+ALT+DEL, but this only list Google Chrome process, in case of error, you can stop it without interfering other tabs. Google Chrome has feature to localize problem in each tab, so a problem in a tab, when it closed, won’t affect other tab.

- F1 will open Chrome support Center in a new tab.
- CTRL+F to find term in a page.

Google Chrome Drawback
One of Google Chrome weakness that not solved till now is their capability in Print a document. What’s rather annoying is, there’s no preview for our printed document. We should use another browser (I prefer Mozilla) when printing a web page.
Above all, Google Chrome is my Favorite Browser. What about you?
