Handy Internet Explorer Keyboard Shortcuts

Here are keyboard shortcuts for use with Internet Explorer.  Most work on all versions since 4.01.  Not an exhustive list, just those that I use often.

Space
This scrolls downward a page at a time.  Note that oftentimes a form control or a ActiveX object (like Flash) can have the focus and consume the keystroke.

ALT+Left Arrow and ALT+Right Arrow
Move backwards and forwards.  Same as pressing the Back and Forward toolbar buttons.  Very handy

CTRL+D
Add the current page to Favorites without prompting

ALT+D
Move focus to the Address bar.  This is handy when you have a search toolbar, as you can then press TAB and have the focus placed in the search text box.

ALT+HOME
Go to your home page

CTRL+N
Open a new browser window

F11
Switch to full-screen mode.  Great when needing to maximize the viewing area
