Ctrl and the plus sign will zoom everything in for you. - If you're tired of dragging the cursor down while reading web pages, then simply tap the Spacebar. This way, it’ll scroll down in full-page chunks. - If you thought using the Spacebar to pause a YouTube video was cool, then try hitting K to pause. - If you’re desperate to find some information online but you don’t wanna open separate tabs for each keyword, then just type both of them in with OR written between them. - If you're super busy looking for some information online, and then you accidentally close one of those really important tabs, pressing Ctrl + Shift + T will save you! - Anyone who’s familiar with Word probably knows that Ctrl + I will italicize a highlighted text.
