More on "Hot Keys"

Another one of my favorite keyboard combinations is:

CTRL+N

This key combo immediately opens up a new browser window. A lot of folks don't realize that they can open multiple browser windows and use them simultaneously. I hardly ever surf the Web without at least three windows. Some pages/sites take longer to load than others and so while one or two pages are loading, I'm reading the content on another page.

Do you oftentimes find yourself straining to read the small text on a Web page? I know I do. Now, this little tip isn't really a "hot key", but it's close. After a page loads, hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard and at the same time scroll the little wheel that is located on your mouse. When you scroll one direction, the text should get larger. Scroll the other direction, the text gets smaller. Simply use this technique to adjust the font size to whatever is the most comfortable for you.
