NAVIGATING YOUR DESKTOP browser is pretty straightforward at this point that you may feel you already know everything there is.
But if you find yourself repeatedly clicking on the back button so you can jump back a few pages, there is a faster method.
Instead of clicking the back button quickly, hold down on it. When you do this, you will see a list of your previously visited pages on that tab so you can quickly return to a page.
The same thing can be done with the forward icon if you have gone back a few pages. Also, most mobile browsers include this functionality as well.
Some browsers allow you to access the history screen this way, useful if you want to jump back further or you forgot which tab you opened up a page on originally.
And what if you exit a tab but want to return to a previous page? Pressing Ctrl + Shift + T will bring the tab back again. The same pages you visited in that tab will still be there so when you hold down on the back button, you’ll see them there.

Very useful tip thanks
The ALT key is your friend. The underlined letter in menu items can be used with the alt key to make it easier to use virtually any Windows based program. I hardly use a mouse any more
Windows button + D will show your desktop and minimise all screens…
Alt+Tab will switch between windows if you’ve multiple browsers or programmes open
CTRL+ALT+F4 speeds things up.
For people who have proper mice.
Buttons 4 and 5.
have your say
