Firefox keyboard shortcuts

Now that Firefox 3.0 is out on the tubes, here's a short list of keyboard shortcuts I compiled. Some of these are pretty straightforward, some are redundant and some are just basic windows keyboard shortcuts, but I will list everything just for the sake of it.

  • ctrl+w - close a tab (close the window if there are no tabs open).
  • ctrl+e - place the cursor in the search bar.
  • ctrl+r - reload page.
  • ctrl+t - open a new tab.
  • ctrl+u - view source of the page.
  • ctrl+i - open bookmarks side bar.
  • ctrl+o - open file dialog.
  • ctrl+p - open print dialog.
  • ctrl+a - select all.
  • ctrl+s - save.
  • ctrl+d - bookmark a page(opens a mini bookmark dialog)
  • ctrl+shift+d - bookmark all open tabs.
  • ctrl+f - find.
  • ctrl+g - find again.
  • ctrl+h - open history sidebar(toggle).
  • ctrl+j - open downloads window.
  • ctrl+k - go to firefox search bar.
  • ctrl+l - go to address/location/awesome bar.
  • ctrl+z - undo.
  • ctrl+x - cut.
  • ctrl+c - copy.
  • ctrl+v - paste.
  • ctrl+b - open bookmarks side bar (toggle).
  • ctrl+shift+b - opens bookmark manager.
  • ctrl+n - open new window.
  • / - quick find. (that should be handy)
  • ctrl+tab, ctrl+shift+tab - cycle through tabs forward and backward.
  • ctrl+enter - adds "www" as prefix and ".com" as suffix to anything you enter in the location bar and loads that page in the current tab.
  • ctrl+shift+enter - same as above but, suffixes ".org".
  • use "alt" along with the above two to load the page in a new tab rather than the current one.
  • ctrl+shift+delete - delete browsing history.

If you know any shortcuts I missed out, please write them in the comments.
And hey! If you have participated in the Firefox download day, here's how you could flaunt it. Just visit this page, key in your name and print the pdf document that loads up.
