Here are the keyboard shortcuts for Facebook:
Windows
Firefox modifier: Shift + Alt + #
Chrome modifier: Alt + #
Mac
Firefox modifier: Control + #
Chrome modifier: Control + Option + #
Safari modifier: Control + Option + #
Shortcuts 1 : home
2 : timeline/profile
3 : friends
4 : messages (
I think this only works with un-read messages)
5 : notifications
6 : general account settings
7 : privacy settings
8 : Facebook’s Facebook page
9 : legal terms
0 : help center
m : new message
? : search
Also, when browsing photos you can use the arrow keys to navigate from one photo to the next.
Another cool shortcut you can use with Facebook photos is to simply hit ‘L’ to like a photo. Hitting ‘L’ again will remove the like from the photo.
For photos:
- L: Like/Unlike photos
- Left and right arrow keys: Skip back and forth between photos
Have fun playing with them and let me know what you think.
Are they a time-saver, or is it just as easy to click your way through?
