These days we are witnessing a debate in relation to Touch Bar, about whether it is a passing technology, or instead it comes to stay. If we want to save time in our day to day, Touch Bar is an integrated device that will make our lives easier, but let's not forget, it forces us to lift our hands from the keyboard or at least not to place them as we are used to.
In contrast, keyboard shortcuts, is a semi-universal gesture, which makes it easier for us to perform actions almost automatically and also makes us work more efficiently with our Mac.
One of the tasks we do the most on a daily basis is browsing, which is why developers have long struggled to make the fastest browser on the market. It is because of that any action in our browser must be agile and efficient and for this the keyboard shortcuts help us to carry out the task in hundredths of a second.
We know the most common keyboard shortcuts in our browser, but there are many others that we do not know. Furthermore, almost any action can be customized with keyboard shortcuts.
On many occasions, when we are browsing in Safari for Mac, we want the next page to load in a new tab. In this way, we have the current page at our disposal to return to it immediately, for example to access another link, and in a separate tab the new entry.
In this case, the simplest thing is not to press the right button and choose "open link in a new tab", if not use the following keyboard shortcut: hold down the Cmd key while clicking on the link with the mouse or trackpad.
The best Apple can do is combine keyboard shortcuts and actions from the Touch Bar, so that the end user decides the method that best suits their way of working.
