Firefox 3.5 is out and I'd like to share some of my favourite shortcuts that sweeten my browsing experience..
- Command + T - New Tab
- Command + W - Close Tab
- Command + R - Reload
- Command + F - Find something in Page
- Command + K - Jump into search field
- Command + L - Jump into address field
- Command + B - Show/Hide Bookmarks
- Command + "+" / "-" - Scale Webpage
- Controll + Tab - Next Tab
- Controll + Shift + Tab - Previous Tab
Since I'm a user of a multitouch Trackpad I love using the following too...
- Swipe three finger right/left - History back/forth
- Pinch with two fingers - Scale Webpage
In Firefox 3.5, there are certain gestures that need to be turned on manually. You do so by following these steps:
- Type about:config into the address bar and hit enter
- Confirm that you know what your doing
- Type gesture into the Filter field
- Notice that the twist.left/twist.right gesture is turned off
- Double click one of them and enter Browser:PrevTab or Browser:NextTab
- Congratulations! You're done!
In addition, I found it quite handy to change the value of twist.latch to true. Rather than switching continuously through your tabs with one gesture, it limits the number of tabs your "twisting through" to one per gesture.
