Seth McLaughlin, an Internet Explorer Program Manager inter has revealed in a blog entry on the IEBlog Website a new resource made available by the Redmond Company to increase keyboard related
workflow in its latest browser. Aiming to enhance user experience and task management, Microsoft has integrated an array of keyboard shortcuts in IE7 and McLaughlin has pointed to a web page that centralizes the information.
“There are many great shortcuts in IE7 - two of my favorites are CTRL+E to quickly access the Search box and ALT+D to select the Address bar. Shortcuts are wonderful things and once you start using them you will quickly begin to wonder how you ever lived without them. But how do you discover these shortcuts? And what if you forget them,” he asked.
His response is the Internet Explorer 7 Quick Reference Sheet. Built to enable printing on a singular page the resource bundles together a limited scope of data that will eventually be translated to a more prominent address in the upcoming period.
“We’ve created this sheet to bring together keyboard shortcuts and directions for common tasks in one, easy to access location. Rather than provide an exhaustive listing of ALL the IE shortcuts (there are a lot!), we focused on outlining only the ones that perform the most popular actions within the browser,” explained McLaughlin.
