A page you gotta check out

What if you could navigate Google Chrome at lightning speed? 

Well, by learning a few simple keyboard shortcuts, you can speed up your prospecting research, gain valuable insights about your leads faster, and really build out that pipeline. The key is to not waste time learning ALL of them, because the majority aren't helpful. 

Thus, I narrowed it down to only the most useful keyboard shortcuts that make me more efficient.

I always knew keyboard shortcuts existed, but I never realized the extent of how much time I'd save. It's insane how much faster I can navigate the Internet since learning these.

The best part? They only take two minutes to learn. Try them out as you read this article:

1. Open new tab 

To open a new tab, hold Command and press T. For PC, hold Ctrl and press T. 

2. Close current tab

Never click that stupid little "x" to close tabs again. Rather, save time by holding Command and pressing W. For PC, hold Ctrl and press W. 

3. Reopen last tab closed

I hate when I close a tab, then realize crap, I still needed that info. I just hold Command andShift, then press T to quickly recover it. For PC, hold Ctrl and Shift, then press T. 

4. View next tab

Instead of dragging my mouse to the top of the browser to click another tab, I rapidly move to the next tab by holding Command and Option, then pressing the right arrow key. For PC, holdCtrl and press tab. 

5. View previous tab

Likewise, I can switch to the previous tab by holding Command and Option, then press the left arrow key. For PC, hold Ctrl and press 9. 

6. Switch to a specific tab (first eight tabs)

If I need to jump to a specific tab, I hold Command and select the appropriate number. For example, if I need to jump to the seventh tab open, I hold Command and press 7. If I need to jump back to the second tab open, I hold Command and press 2. For PC, it's the same action, just hold Ctrl instead of Command. 

7. Open hyperlinked text in a new tab

If I'm reading an article that has an intriguing hyperlink in it, I open it in a new tab by holding Command and clicking the link. Try it out here. 

8. Open hyperlinked text in a new window 

Similarly, if I want to open a link in a new window, I hold Shift and click the link. Try it out here. 

9. Put cursor in search bar 

I hate dragging my mouse to the search bar to type in a URL or Google something. Rather, I hold Command and press L to jump my cursor to the search bar. 

10. Erase current search 

If I totally screw up a URL or Google search, I'll quickly start it over by holding Commandpressing delete. For PC, hold Ctrl and press Backspace. 

11. Highlight next word in search

To highlight the next word in a search, I hold Shift and Option, then press the right arrow key. For PC, hold Ctrl and press the right arrow key. I use this to quickly highlight a word if I need to delete it. 

12. Highlight previous word in search

To highlight the previous word, hold Shift and option, then press the left arrow key. For PC, hold Ctrl and press the left arrow key. 

13. Go back to previous page 

Wanna jump back to the previous page? Just press delete. On PC, press Backspace. 

14. Go forward to next page 

Wanna go forward? Hold Shift and press delete. On PC, hold shift and press Backspace. 

15. Reloads current page 

Is the page frozen? Hold Command and press R to quickly reload it. On PC, hold Ctrl and pressR. 

16. Opens the find bar 

Need to find a key word or phrase on the page? Hold Command and press F. Then simply type what you're looking for. On PC, hold Ctrl and press F. 

17. Scrolls to next keywords in find bar 

The first keyword isn't correct that appears in the find bar? Press Enter to move to the next search term. On PC, hold Ctrl and press G. 

18. Scrolls to previous keywords in find bar 

To scroll backwards to the previous keyword, hold Shift and press Enter. On PC, hold Ctrl and press G. 

19. Save current page as bookmark 

Read an awesome article? Or need to bookmark a useful tool? Hold Command and press D. On PC, hold Ctrl and press D. 

20. Open settings page 

Need to activate an extension (such as Sidekick, an email productivity tool)? Hold commandand press the comma key. There is no keyboard shortcut for this for PC. 

21. Open downloads page 

Downloaded something you quickly need to reference? Hold Command and Shift, then press J. For PC, hold Ctrl and press J. 

22. Open new window 

When I have too many tabs open, but I don't want to close them yet, I'll open a new window. To do this, hold Command and press N. On PC, hold Ctrl and press N. 

23. Drag tab out of strip to open in new window 

No this isn't a keyboard shortcut, but it's just as useful. If I want to focus on only one tab, I'll click the tab and drag it downwards until a new window opens. This helps me focus on only one tab, by removing it from a cluster of too many other tabs. 

24. Close current window 

Quickly close the current window by holding Command and Shift, then press W. On PC, holdCtrl and Shift and press W. 

25. Minimize current window 

To minimize the current window, hold Command and press M. On PC, there isn't a keyboard shortcut for this. 

It only takes a few minutes to learn these shortcuts. My logic is if we spend 80% of our time online, isn't it worth investing a few minutes into mastering these?

Magna Carta...

If you type the above phrase in Google Translate and translated it to English, you would get "Great Charter". You might be wondering, why a simple piece of paper is called The Great Charter. For starters, its not that simple. Lets look at its history.

The question arises, why did I choose to write about a document this old, today! Like, I did have the whole of the vacation to type about something that happened years before our birth, our parent's birth, our parent's parent's birth our.... Well, you get the point. The Magna Carta is the most important document, I would argue, in the history of the world. It defined that no one, not even the King, was above the law and granted every citizen equal rights. Lets begin like this:

King John signing the Magna Carta at Runnymede

In 1215, England was ruled by King John 1. He was almost a dictator, and taxed his people till they broke. He stole their land and lost wars with France. So, by 1215, the Barons had had enough. They met the King at Runnymede, and forced him to sign the document. This was a huge leap towards democracy. Admittedly, England is still a monarchy, But the constitution of countries like USA, heck, even the UN Rights are greatly influenced by the charter. One incredibly common clause is- "to no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice."

Historian David Carpenter has noted, the charter "wasted no time on political theory", it went beyond simply addressing individual baronial complaints, and formed a wider proposal for political reform. It promised the protection of church rights, protection from illegal imprisonment, access to swift justice, and, most importantly, limitations on taxation and other feudal payments to the Crown, with certain forms of feudal taxation requiring baronial consent. It focused on the rights of free men—in particular the barons—and not serfs and unfree labour.

Articles of the Barons,1215
 held by the British Library

I think you are begining to understant the significance of this "piece of paper". But you may ask: Why today? Why not like a year before? First of all, I did not have a blogger account, but even if I did, I would not have written this. Because today is an important day in connection with this; Magna Carta was put forward on 10th June 1215. That is, It's officially 800 years of Magna Carta!

Thank you!
