2.3. Tab Buttons and Keyboard Shortcuts


Navigating Browsers Using Tab Buttons and Keyboard Shortcuts

Users can use browser-based tab controls and keyboard shortcuts to help with navigation. Below are some tips for browser navigation that can be used in Chrome and Firefox on Windows PCs.

  • Use CTRL-T or click the browser’s new tab button to open a new tab.
  • Use CTRL-W or click the x in the tab to close the tab.
  • Undo closing a tab by hitting CTRL-Shift-T.
  • To open a link from the web client in a new tab, CTRL-click the link or right-click the link and select Open Link in New Tab. Using this method, you can also open options from the web client’s dropdown menus in a new tab.
  • Navigate to the next tab using CTRL-Tab. Go to the previous tab with CTRL-Shift-Tab.

Setting New Tab Behavior

Some users may want to automatically open the web client’s portal page in a new tab. Neither Chrome nor Firefox will open your home page by default when you open a new tab. However, both browsers have optional add-ons that will allow you to set the browsers to automatically open the home page whenever opening a new tab. These add-ons may be useful for those libraries that want the new tab to open to the web client portal page.
