Not surprisingly, almost all applications, including Windowhave Hotkeys to ease some teams. This is one of the main forms of navigation that has existed since the days of the first personal computers. In practice, a keyboard shortcut allows you to perform a certain pre-programmed action by pressing a combination of keys. For example, you may already be familiar with CTRL+C as well as CTRL+Bto copy and paste some content.
But a curious fact about browsers – especially Google Chrome – is that, depending on the site you’re visiting, some of these basic commands won’t work exactly the way you think.
In web browsers, websites can define their own keyboard shortcuts. So if you click CTRL + C on one site is different from clicking on another. If you do it in Google Docs, your page will be saved manually. But if you click on CTRL + C on a photo editing site, File Explorer can open this shortcut. Consequently Google Chrome has a special set of hotkeys.
