I find myself navigating large directories constantly, and every time I want to go back, I have to move the mouse really far! (Sounds lazy, maybe - but laziness is not the issue here, speed is : )
I'd like to be able to do this on all platforms - Windows XP and WIn 7, and several browsers (Firefox and Chrome on both Windows and iPad)
Saransh KApoor 2012-12-16 15:52:15 Hey dude you can use backspace for that purpose ...its too easy for more tricks check my website luis donis 2012-12-16 06:40:41 Backspace works perfect and without complicated Roomy Naqvy 2012-12-15 17:41:13 The backspace is there for this use. What kind of large directories do you navigate online? I always open 10-15 tabs in my browser and dont face any problems Arun Vishnu 2012-12-14 09:56:55 backspace may be set default Ashwin Ramesh 2012-12-13 17:30:25 Please click on "Resolved" if you are satisfied with our replies. Ashwin Ramesh 2012-12-13 17:31:17 And if you feel that your question has been completely answered. Amit Sinha 2012-12-13 15:17:39 With backspace you can navigate back to any page in any web browser but for the shortcuts of opening any web browser is not possible the only option for web browser is that some Microsoft keyboards have home button which opens only default browser Abba Jee 2012-12-12 19:41:33 why you don't use Backspace key? Nilesh Rathi 2012-12-12 17:07:50 Backspace key already supports this function. Amichai Rotman 2012-12-12 15:50:39 As far as I know, the default key combination for "Back" is:Windows Explorer (all versions) = backspaceWeb Browsers (most of them) = Shift+Left ArrowYou can always check the Keyboard setting in the Control Panel and in the respective individual program's Preferences / Options menu.... Vishal Srivastava 2012-12-12 10:49:15 Solution on Chrome- ALT+Back arrow does the job. Here is the complete list of Chrome Shortcuts- ha14 2012-12-12 09:53:38 some mouse have back key Alan Wade 2012-12-12 14:26:24 Yep, mine does! :) Ishan Gunawardana 2012-12-12 08:22:01 Why do u have to assign a key for that when u hve a big backspace key on ur keybord huh.??? Ahmed Musani 2012-12-12 07:41:58 if you are using a laptop and if it supports gestures then you can use it.else the backspace is the best solution. Eath Chantrea 2012-12-12 07:34:44 Yes backspace is default key shortcut for back. prashanth singh rathore 2012-12-12 05:49:06 hey Joseph you don't need to assign any shortcut key for going back since it is already an shortcut key is alligned for going backward and forwardjust use Alt + Left Arrow key to go backward and use Alt + Right Arrow to go to forward .........!! :) :D Lisa Santika Onggrid 2012-12-12 05:40:11 Use backspace. If you want to set global hotkeys for other functions try AutoHotkey (it might be too much for some, though) Fawad Mirzad 2012-12-12 05:36:18 Backspace button is already available. Junil Maharjan 2012-12-12 04:41:49 backspace works as back button. if you want to create shortcuts then there are tools in windows to do that. Deimarr Callender 2012-12-12 04:14:09 Backspace FTW josemon maliakal 2012-12-12 03:51:14 yup I join with aswin..no need of extra Jim Chambers 2012-12-12 03:50:38 Use Home key Ashwin Ramesh 2012-12-12 02:59:01 I think the Backspace on your keyboard is already built for such things :) Naval Gupta 2012-12-12 19:54:19 Agreed. Unless you want to perform something other than back.
