Google Chrome Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts are key combinations that help you reduce the amount of mouse use you need to perform a specific action. The theory is that it takes far less time and energy to press a combination of keys on the keyboard than it does to reach over, align the mouse, and then click the button to create the action you want.
The problem comes in when you dont know the keyboard shortcuts. With Google Chrome, some of the keyboard shortcuts that youve become familiar with in other browsers have the same functions. There are some new combinations, though. What follows is a specific list of the available keyboard shortcuts for Chrome. Even if you think you know them all, you might want to scan the list. You could find something that you didnt know exists.
The shortcuts in the following table are designed to help you navigate through windows, tabs, and web pages. You may already know many of them, but a few are specific to Chrome.
The address bar, also called the Omnibox, has much more functionality than simply taking you to a web address. The following shortcuts help you to access as much of that functionality as possible.
The shortcuts in the following table allow you to access certain Chrome features quickly and without having to navigate through a bunch of menus to find what you need. Some of these shortcuts are real time-savers, so be sure you read through them to find the ones you might not know about.
Navigating web pages without a mouse might be a foreign concept to you. And in truth, you probably cant do everything with the keyboard that you might want to do on a web page, but you can do plenty of things. These keyboard shortcuts help you navigate through the web pages that you choose to surf.
The last few shortcuts in this appendix are all related to text content. In most cases, you need to highlight text or place your cursor where you want text to appear before you perform an action. These are all pretty basic, and you probably use some of them with other programs, but there might be one or two here that you havent seen.
Chrome for the Non-Windows User
If youre familiar with Linux or Macintosh operating systems, you may have wondered if there is a Google Chrome for those platforms. While the official versions of Chrome for Linux and Chrome for Mac havent been released yet, there is a way to run Chrome on your Linux or Mac machine.
Up until now, weve talked about the official versions of Google Chrome and Chromium. These applications only work on computers running Microsoft Windows. Google tells us that versions of Chrome for Linux and Mac OS X are on the way. Its possible they might even be released by the time youre reading these words; however, at the time of this writing, Google has not given a target date.
Linux is an operating system was originally developed by Linus Torvalds in 1991. Linux is, and always has been, an open source operating system. As a result, there are many different brands or distributions of Linux. Red Hat, Ubuntu, and Debian are some names you may be familiar with. Each distribution is an improvement or change on an earlier distribution.
Mac OS X is the operating system used by Apples Macintosh computers. Mac OS X has been the standard operating system for Macintosh computers since 2002, although, it has been updated frequently since then. Mac OS X is proprietary software and is owned entirely by Apple, Inc.
Granted, the Linux and Mac markets are smaller than the Windows market, but Linux users tend to be active in the open source programming scene. The long wait for an official Google Chrome release has annoyed several outspoken open source gurus. However, in true open source fashion the Linux and Mac communities didnt wait for Google.
A software development company, called Codeweavers, stepped in. They created and released CrossOver Chromium for both Mac and Linux users.
Codeweavers defines itself as a company striving to transform Mac OS X and Linux into Windows-compatible operating systems, helping customers leverage Windows technology on non-Windows operating systems, and promoting growth of Free Software by supporting and extending the Wine Project.
They created and distribute the CrossOver line of products.
CrossOver Linux gives those running most of the popular Linux distributions the ability to run Windows based applications like Microsoft Office, Dreamweaver MX, Microsoft Project, and many more.
CrossOver Mac gives Mac OS X users the same flexibility to run applications and open files intended for Microsoft Windows operating systems, without purchasing a Windows license.
CrossOver Games lets both Linux and Mac OS X users run gaming applications intended for Microsoft Windows.
You can find Codeweavers at http://www.codeweavers.com/.
CrossOver Chromium runs Chromium through Wine, making the necessary tweaks to Chromium for you. So you get a working version of Chromium out of the box. After evaluating CrossOver Chromium on Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex, I can say that it does work well. CrossOver Chromium is a bit slower than Chrome or Chromium run on Windows, and the graphics dont seem to be as sharp, but both are to be expected when you run any program through Wine. The process of having an intermediary program between the application youre running and the operating system can cause slower performance and slightly fuzzy text.
Wine is a small application that serves as a translator between the Linux or Mac operating system and an application designed to work with the Microsoft Windows protocol. When you run a Windows-based program in Wine, the Windows program talks directly to Wine, and then Wine translates and relays the requests to the Linux or Mac components.
Wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator. You will find Wine for Linux, and BSD at http://www.winehq.org/. Although there is no official Wine release for Mac OS X, those running that operating system can use Wine. Instructions are provided on the Wine website here: http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX/Installing. Mac users can find additional step-by-step directions for installing Wine on David Baumgolds website, here: http://davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/.
