Mine is using the arrow keys to navigate typed text while writing and editing. It helps speed things up, versus having to move your hand to the mouse to navigate.
Use the Up and Down Arrows to move/jump vertically.
Left and Right Arrows to move/jump horizontally.
Combine Left or Right Arrow with Shift to be able to select text. Use Up or Down Arrow with Shift to quickly select whole/nearly whole sections of text.
Combine Control with Left/Right Arrow to jump whole words to more quickly move to where you want to type.
Yay, nobody said my favorite hack.
While browsing on the web and you want to “open link into a new tab”, click using the mouse wheel like it’s a regular left or right click.
It’s great for researching.
Oh I love this one too, probably one of my most used.
‘middle click’
You can also middle click on a tab to close it! Also, middle clicking stuff pinned to your taskbar like the file explorer or your browser opens up a new window of it.
Wow, this I didn’t know! Thanks friend!
Showed a coworker that while he was training me.
“OK, right-click on that and…”
<center click>
puzzled
"OK, right-click…
<center click>
Or ctrl-/command-click!
Very recently, I have adopted Shift+LMBclick to open a link in a new browser window.
I use this primarily for accessing one link in favorites bar.
I would love to figure out a non-extension way (curse you, draconian IT policy!) to set this behavior in the favorite/bookmark…
Unless the page uses shitty “link” implementation where buttons are use instead of actual anchor tags. Fucking SPAs…
there’s a extension to do this with the right click button instead too
