Depending on how we use our browser, it is likely that throughout the day the number of tabs that we have open may be too large to be able to manage them quickly with the mouse. If we generally switch between two or more tabs, whenever we have to switch between them, we lose valuable time, time that at the end of the day can mean that we leave before or after our work. The keyboard shortcuts, once you get used to it, allow us to save a lot of time, since in most cases it prevents us from having to separate our hands from the keyboard to perform an action that can be done with a simple combination of keys.
Safari tabs also offer keyboard shortcuts, shortcuts to open a new version of the browser, a new tab and even to be able to switch between the different tabs that we have open at any given time. If, as I mentioned above, you are forced to continually change tabs in Safari, either to fill in fields, check information, or simply read, the keyboard shortcuts that we show you below may be used to quickly switch between the tabs open are very useful.
Keyboard shortcuts to switch between Safari tabs
- Shift + ⌘Command and the scroll keys. By pressing this combination of keys and using the scroll keys, we can quickly move between all the tabs that we have open, including those that are Pinned.
- Ctrl+Tab. Another interesting option that allows us to quickly switch between the Safari tabs to the right. If we want to go backwards, we will use the key combination Control + Shift + Tab
- We hold down the key ⌘Command and we press a number from 1-9, numbers that represent the order in which the Safari tabs are open.
