Shortcuts Are for Everyone
Learners who can't use a mouse or pointing device may depend on shortcuts, but power users can also benefit by committing a few shortcuts to memory.
The shortcuts listed below work in all major browsers: Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox. The second column of each table contains commands for Windows users; the third column contains commands for Mac users. If there's no information in the third column, the shortcut is the same for both Windows and Mac users.
