Mac & Chrome Shortcuts

Tired of reaching for the mouse all the time? Me too so I researched & found some shortcuts.

•  Apple t opens a new tab

•  Apple w closes the current tab

•  Apple 1 thru Apple 8 displays that # tab in the current window

•  Apple 9 displays the final tab

•  Apple h hides the current app

•  Apple TAB (below 1 key) toggle between apps

•  Apple ~ (above TAB key) toggle between windows within an app

•  Apple q to quit the app

•  Apple l (lower case L) positions the focus into the address bar

•  Apple + zoom in

•  Apple - zoom out

•  Apple 0 reset the zoom

•  Apple Alt/Option j opens the javascript console of the Developer Tools Repeat to close.

•  delete key ... In previous versions of Chrome the delete key would function like clicking the back arrow in the browser. Now you have to add the "Backspace to go Back" Chrome plugin to have this functionality work.

Terminal Commands

•  open <folder name> opens folder in Finder

•  open -a textedit pgm.cpp opens the file in the text editor

•  mkdir -p dir1/dir2 makes both folders because of -p option
