Internet Hack : Top 10 Simple and useful Internet tricks for you

There are some simple keyboard shortcuts
which one can use while using Internet and
it would help the user to avoid typing a lot
and also at certain places the mouse can
be completely avoided by these tricks.
Entering a new website: Normally
users would have to type http:// or
www before they want to enter a
new website however now just type
the name of the website and
press <Ctrl><Enter> . By default this
will add “http://www.” in front and
“.com” towards the end of the
website. Users can also just type
out the name of the website for eg:
“xyz.com” and press <Enter> this
will automatically give “http://
xyz.com”. Now if the website has
“.org” then user would need to use
<Ctrl ><Shift><Enter> keys and for
websites with “.net” they need to
use <Shift><Enter> keys to get the
full website name.
Online applications clues:
Toggling between Multiple
columns : Suppose user is
filling the online forms then
using <Shift><Tab> helps
user move to previous
column / field while just
using <Tab> takes user to
the next column / field.
Thus user can avoid using
mouse in this case to move
from one column or field to
another.
Choosing from multiple
options: Most of the times
while filling the information
online, the form displays
huge data from which user
needs to choose the right
information. For example:
Most of the times the data
would require user to fill the
details of the country that
they belong to and this is a
vast data, now user can just
type out the initial alphabet
of their country and then the
search would be restricted
to the list of names starting
with the alphabet that they
typed. This procedure is
very useful when someone
has to choose from vast
data and is applicable to
similar situations.
Using Tabs for smooth browsing:
Here again we will discuss certain
shortcut keys with the help of
which users can surf the internet
browser in much better way.
Suppose user needs to open
a new Tab then use
<Ctrl><T>.
For closing any open Tab
press <Ctrl><W> .
For moving from one Tab to
another <Ctrl><Page Up> or
<Ctrl><Page Down> .
Suppose user has closed
some tab and now wants to
reopen it then just press
<Ctrl><Shift><T> user can
open the last window that
was closed.
Press “ F11″ key to get full
screen view of the Internet
browser. Re press F11
key to resume the normal

Suppose users need to find
something in a web page
then they can open a find
tool by clicking <Ctrl><F>
and thus carry on with their
search.
Hold the <Ctrl> and press
“+” or “-” this will increase
or decrease the size of the
text respectively.
Hold the <Ctrl> and press
“O” the size of the text gets
reset.
Opening link in a new tab: This can
be done by using the mouse. Just

link this will lead to opening of the
link in a new tab. There is one
more alternative wherein press the
<Ctrl> key and press the wheel of
the mouse keeping the cursor on
the link.
Improvised Search: Most of the
times when user is searching for
something and uses two or more
words then the search engine gives
a mixture of result because it
considers the two words individually
for its search. For eg: In case of
:School help, the search will
consider ‘School’ and ‘help’ as two
words and give results accordingly,
instead if user types “School help”
in quotes then this helps the search
engine to search the correct
information. So by using quotes
user can improvise their searches.
Highlight the address bar : Suppose
user needs the access bar then just
press <Alt><D>, without using the
mouse one can access the address
bar. One can also make use of “F6″
key for the same purpose.

YouTube videos the easiest way to
pause it by clicking the “K” key and
