It occurred to me today that I use a lot of shortcuts. In almost every program I use, I have an ingrained set of shortcuts for doing a million micro-actions. The ones I use in Chrome would probably be the most benefit for anyone else, so here they are:

1. Inspect element — cmd+shift+c
2. Open dev tools window, then open console: cmd+shift+c or cmd+option+i, then esc
3. Reopen your last-closed tab — cmd+shift+t
4. Move between tabs — cmd+option+left/right
5. Select the address bar — cmd+L
6. Duplicate current tab — cmd+L (to select address bar), cmd+return to duplicate tab

Every year, usually around major Apple Keynotes, I promise to give Safari another try. But I never last more than a few hours. These shortcuts are so second nature now, and I use them so often, that it’s almost impossible to do without. I especially love love love #3 and #6.

What are your favourites?

Update — I just realized that I published almost this exact same list about 3 years ago! Seems I really do love shortcuts.
