My Useful Web

Don’t you get annoyed sometimes to type www dot blahblahblah dot com? I have a recent discovery that I want to share with you. I’m sure computer and internet savants are already familiar with this thing but I also know that a lot of people out there don’t know it yet and it will benefit a lot of us.

I’m going to tell you about Ctrl + Enter and Shift + Enter keys and how they can be of help to us.

The Ctrl + Enter 

Normally, when people type a web address they have to start with www. and the rest of it.  But did you know you can just type the main website name and press Ctrl and Enter keys to go to the domain you want to visit?

Example, when I login to may gmail account I just type gmail on the address bar and press Ctrl and Enter keys and it will automatically go to www.gmail.com. I use less effort and it saves me time. This will be a big help especially for people who type slow and have to look at the keyboard and the screen to check if they are typing the right thing.

Please take note that  Ctrl/Enter is only for .com domains. Since most websites have got this domain this tip is going to be very useful.

The Shift + Enter

These two keys are for the .net domains. Well, not very many domains end with it but still we could use it.

My next favorite site to visit is www.inquirer.net and so I find this shortcut key useful.

I do hope you find this information useful as I do.
