Keyboard shortcuts for Internet web browser tabs

I simply love Tabs in any Browser. God knows how many browser windows I open with multiple Tabs on it. But it becomes hard to manage them once you open too many Tabs in a single browser window. The most irritating part is to use mouse to perform simple tasks and that's why I prefer to use some Keyboard Shortcuts to fasten my work.

Fortunately, all the Web Browsers supports most common Keyboard Shortcuts, which really helps a lot in many ways. Find below most important Keyboard Shortcuts which you can use in any web browser.

Keyboard Shortcuts For Browser Tabs

Open New Tab

Use CTRL + T to open New Tab in any Browser.

Close Browser Tab

Use CTRL + W to close any Tab in any Browser.

Go To Next Browser Tab

If you have open many Tabs in a browser window, than you can use CTRL + TAB key to view next open Tab.

Go To Previous Browser Tab

UIf you have open many Tabs in a browser window se CTRL + SHIFT + TAB key to view previous Tab.

Switch Between The Tabs

The formula is CTRL + n (where n is a Tab number from 1 to 8). For e.g. If you want to open Tab no. 4, then press CTRL + 4.

However, If you have opened more than 9 Tabs in a browser, than pressing the CTRL + 9 will open the last Tab in the browser.

Note: Since there are only 9 numeric keys on your keyboard, that's why you cannot open Tab no. 10 or 11 and so on using this keyboard shortcut. But you can press CTRL + 8 and then use CTRL + TAB to go to next open Tab.

Re-Open Closed Browser Tab

If you accidently closed any browser tab and want to re-open it, than simply use CTRL + SHIFT + T. (Cool Isn't It)

An Interesting History of 1752

Here is an interesting historical fact that you probably didn't know, (I sure didn't). Just have a look at the calendar for the month of September 1752.

(If you think I'm joking, you may search it on Google and see it for yourself.)

In case you haven't noticed, 11 days are simply missing from the month.

Here's the explanation: This was the month during which England shifted from the Roman Julian Calendar to the Gregorian Calendar.

A Julian year was 11 days longer than a Gregorian year. So, the King of England ordered 11 days to be wiped off the face of that particular month. (A King could order anything, couldn't he?)
So, the workers worked for 11 days less that month, but got paid for the whole month. That's how the concept of "paid leave" was born. Hail the King!!!
