Veronica Belmont from Tekzilla shares some fancy Facebook shortcuts for power users. Learn how to navigate all the major functions on the Facebook homepage in any browser straight from your keyboard.

Every operating system and browser combination will have a different identifier. Following are the ones you will need, depending on your configuration:

Combine your identifier with the following keys to perform the shortcuts:

• Identifier + ? moves your curser to the search box
• Identifier + m launches a compose new message window
• Identifier + 1 takes you to your home page
• Identifier + 2 launches your profile page
• Identifier + 3 opens your friend requests
• Identifier + 4 opens your messages menu
• Identifier + 5 opens your notifications menu

Using the identifier plus the numbers 6 – 0 work as well, but Veronica wants to leave something for you to discover!

I’m glad she took the time to create this tutorial. I honestly didn’t even know these particular shortcuts myself. For those who spend a lot of time on Facebook, knowing these quick maneuvers can SAVE you a lot of time. Thanks, Veronica and the Tekzilla team!

Do You Know the Secret Facebook Keyboard Shortcuts?

Recently, I made a comment about needing to map keys for my OS X keyboard. Using keyboard shortcuts can save you a lot of time when you’re working. One of our community members sent this list of shortcuts in to give all of us a bit of help when we attempt to GTD!

• Option + Left / Right arrows When editing text, this combination will scoot you back and forth through the text one word at a time.
• Option + Up/ Down arrows These move you through paragraph breaks. Up takes you to the start of the paragraph, and down to the end of said paragraph. Within the average Internet site, this also allows you to ‘scootch’ the page up and down a little, ala mouse wheel style.
• Command Key + Left / Right These keys can move you back and forth through pages in the same manner as the back and forward buttons themselves. This (for me) is much faster than using the trackpad, or reaching for the mouse.
• Command Key + Up / Down These act as what I can only describe as being the ‘home’ and ‘End’ Keys. Basically, they will take you to the top or bottom of the page/text.
