Access your browsing history with a simple keyboard shortcut

As happens on many other occasions, some of you surely know this keyboard shortcut that can help us find a website that we have previously visited easily and quickly thanks to browsing history.

It is a simple and effective keyboard tip that I use every day to find that website that I saw yesterday and whose name I can't quite remember, or even to find one from last month. The option to search the browsing history can be done in several ways in OS X, today we will see the one that for me is faster and more complete.

It is about viewing the history and this can be done from the menu bar by pressing with in the history, but it is faster and more complete if we do it by pressing the key combination cmd + Y. If we do it right now (as you read this) you will see that the entire history appears and in the URL field it remains soydemac. This means that if you press cmd + Y again you will return to the website you were viewing. In addition to showing the history, we can delete everything if we scroll down all of it, where we will find the option to Delete history ...

With this simple keyboard tip, access to the history is really fast and efficient, which offers us an extra productivity in front of the Mac. If what we want is to open the web directly, my advice iss use cmd + T to create a new tab and then hit cmd + Y to open the web in a separate tab.
