Safari browsers are definitely the best at saving energy in many browsers on the OS X platform. For those who value battery endurance, I highly recommend Safari as your heavy browser. Well, if you want to play Safari browser, it's essential to have some keyboard shortcuts, because using shortcut keys can greatly improve your productivity. In this article, I'll share with you 10 of the essential Safari browser shortcut key combinations to enhance your safari browsing experience.

  1. Toggle tab page

Use shortcut keys to quickly switch between different tabs, you only need to hold down the Shift+command, and then press the left and right arrows to the front and back to the tab page switch. In my opinion, this is the first essential shortcut key operation.

Of course, you can also use the Option+tab or Command+shift+tab key to cycle through all of the tab pages.

In addition, in OS X 10.11, you can also open the function of using Command + number key 1~9 to toggle the tab page in the setup.

2. Close the current tab page

Tired of using the mouse when it is difficult to quickly click on the "x" on the tab page?

You can quickly close the current tab by pressing the command+w combination.

  3. Reopen the last closed label

Have you ever been in the following situations: A slip of your hand closes a tab, but you don't really want to. So how do you quickly turn it on again?

You just press the command+z combination and you'll find it coming back.

Note: Chrome can be done through command+shift+t.

  4. Switch between windows

In my usual use, in addition to open a lot of tabs, I usually have to open at least two Safari windows for comparison. Now that we know how to switch between tabs, how do we quickly switch between the different Safari browser windows?

You simply press command+ ' or command+shift+ ' to flip the different Safari browser windows.

  5. Go back to the previous page and go to the next page

Use the trackpad or Magic mouse/magic Trackpad is very easy to do this, I believe you must have mastered. But as a fanatical "keyboard man," You can take a break from your peripherals for a while.

You can use command+] to return to the previous page, and use Command + to go to the next page.

 6. Scrolling page

When browsing the page, do you want to scroll one whole page at a time?

Hold down the Option key, and then press the UP arrow (or DOWN arrow) key.

You can also press space (SPACEBAR) or Space+shift key to scroll down or up a whole page.

 7. Quickly scroll to the top or bottom of the page

Let's go through the Quick scrolling page: directly to the bottom of the page (or at the top).

While holding down the Command key, press the DOWN arrow (or up arrow) key.

  8. Show or hide the Favorites bar

On a MacBook display, every point of visual space is sought. You can hide the Favorites bar and exhale through the shortcut keys when necessary.

If you need to show/hide the Favorites bar, press Command+shift+b.

  9. Open a new Privacy browsing window

Need to give someone a quick Safari demo? It is more appropriate to open a new privacy browsing window.

To start a new private browsing immediately, press the command+shift+n combination.

  10. Open the Sidebar

Have you ever been in the process of browsing the web and suddenly had to quickly access the Bookmark collection, read the list and share the links section?

Try pressing the command+shift+l combination.

Well, there's more of the Safari browser's shortcut key combination waiting for you to dig. But you should be familiar with the 10 shortcuts mentioned in this article, because they are used almost every day. So which one is your favorite in the list of shortcuts in this article?
