Chrome Google Chrome Shortcuts

Browse faster with every Google Chrome keyboard shortcut—tabs, bookmarks, DevTools, history, and find-in-page. Based on Google's official Chrome shortcut list.

Why Chrome Shortcuts Matter (2026)

Ctrl/Cmd+T opens a tab, Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+T reopens the last closed tab, and Ctrl/Cmd+L focuses the address bar. DevTools (F12 or Cmd+Opt+I) and tab cycling (Ctrl/Cmd+Tab) save hours for developers. See also VS Code and Windows shortcuts.
