Most common tasks you want your browser to perform are bind to a single key
|
|
|
|
press:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You want to open a new tab? Hit `t`.
|
|
|
|
You want to follow that link? Hit `f` and type the displayed label.
|
|
|
|
You want to go to the bottom of the page? Hit `G`. Or the top? `gg`.
|
|
|
|
You want to focus the text field on Wikipedia to search for another term? `gi`.
|
|
|
|
Switch to the next tab? `gt`.
|
|
|
|
Go back in time? `H`.
|
|
|
|
Notice that this tab is rubbish and you want to close it? `d`.
|
|
|
|
Regret that decision? `u` restores it.
|
|
|
|
Temporarily disable all that magic because you can't stand it? `I`.
|

But how do you use your browser now? `Shift-Esc` and we're back on.

The list could go on a bit here, but I guess you'll get the point. If you feel
|
|
|
|
lost sometimes `:help` might help you a lot.
