Shortcuts Google Chrome for MacOS

MacOS

Everybody knows the Google Chrome program on every third PC. The browser literally “eats” competitors, today its market share is more than 60%. Therefore, almost every user is probably already familiar with common hot keys. If not, we will tell you what shortcut keys will help speed up the work in the browser. The combinations are already set by the developers, but the user can customize the combinations for themselves. On Windows and Mac, the combinations are almost identical, only the modifier button changes: on Windows – Ctrl, on Mac – Cmd. Hotkeys in Google Chrome allow you to manage tabs (duplicate, reload, close), windows (open a new window, open a new window in incognito mode, close the window), interact with the content (source code, search on page, fullscreen, zoom, navigate through the page), with the address bar, and also open settings, history, downloads, task manager, developer tools.
