I'm doing some research for an article and was wondering what the top 5 IE
keyboard shortcuts people use.

Some candiates have been:

CTRL + N - open new browser window
TAB - move through links/addressbar
SHIFT + TAB - move backwards through links/addressbar
CTRL + R or F5 - refresh page
CTRL + ENTER - add www and .com to an address (anyone else use this?)

Thanks in advance!

F6 - to find frames.
Alt-CursorLeft - instead of the overloaded Backspace key
Ctrl-d - add current page to bottom of Favorites
Ctrl-o - especially in Fullscreen mode

In conjunction with Tab and Shift-Tab:
Shift-Enter (or Menu-N for Open in New Window)
Menu-t (copy Shortcut)

Win-Tab,Space (in XP--IE's answer to "tabbed" browsing)

Some candiates have been:

CTRL + N - open new browser window
TAB - move through links/addressbar
SHIFT + TAB - move backwards through links/addressbar
CTRL + R or F5 - refresh page
CTRL + ENTER - add www and .com to an address (anyone else use this?)


Supposedly. We even see requests for the regedit which allows
non-US Windows users to override their local UrlTemplate values.
IMO it's one more anachronism which is being dragged along
for "compatibility" reasons.

Thanks in advance!
