Speedy Way 2: Join Google Experiment for Keyboard Shortcuts
Few years back, Google rolled out a experiment allowing users to navigate using keys. Most of the shortcuts are similar to Gmail e.g. J and K for up and down.
Complete shortcut list:
| Key | Action |
| J | Selects the next result. |
| K | Selects the previous result. |
| O | Opens the selected result. |
| <Enter> | Opens the selected result. |
| / | Puts the cursor in the search box. |
| <Esc> | Removes the cursor from the search box. |
The only disadvantage is that once you have joined this experiment, you cannot join any other experiment. In addition, all your future Google searches will have keyboard shortcuts enabled. Well that’s not a disadvantage, is it? Related Articles :
