Yandex has added hotkeys for managing search results. Hot keys for Yandex browser and Google Chrome Open settings in Yandex browser from the keyboard

Hello, friends! Hot keys make it easier for the user to work when using a particular program. So, for example, you don't have to navigate through different menu items to select a tool or perform a specific action. Knowing the right key combination, you can quickly execute the desired command.

In this article we will look at various keyboard shortcuts that can be used when working with the Yandex browser. There are quite a lot of them, so there is no need to remember everything.

Select from the list those that are useful to you, for example, quickly switching between tabs and opening a new browser window. If you use the selected combinations frequently, you will quickly remember them, and then you can learn a couple more, when you remember them too, learn the next ones, and so on.

Hotkeys for different tasks

There are hotkeys in almost all programs, and the Yandex browser is no exception. In the browser, when you open the context menu or the main menu, opposite some items you can see various key combinations. They correspond to the item opposite which they are indicated.

For example, if you often view History, then just press Ctrl+H on your keyboard and the window you need will open. As a result, you will not have to click on various menu items, and you will save time.

Now let's take a closer look at what keyboard shortcuts can be used in Yandex.Browser.

How to change hotkeys

Hotkey combinations may vary between programs. It is clear that if you have been working with a program for a long time and use several combinations to perform certain actions, then you would like these combinations to be able to be used in another program.

Unfortunately, the developers of the Yandex browser do not give this opportunity to their users, and no matter how much you would like, you will not be able to change the hotkey combinations.

Remember the hot keys in the Yandex browser for those actions that you perform most often, and your work with it will become much easier and faster.

Hot keys are designed to speed up and simplify the user's work on a PC or laptop. They will replace distracting mouse movements.
Hot keys are pressed simultaneously (all at once). One combination can have from 2 to 4 keys.
This list contains a lot of hotkeys. It will be very difficult to remember everything. Just choose a few combinations that you need most and remember them. You can watch the rest later. To do this, add this page to your browser bookmarks using the combination Ctrl + D :)

Key combinations usually use modifier keys - Alt, ⇧ Shift, Ctrl, Tab↹, sometimes the ⊞ Win key

Common Windows hotkey combinations for working with text, windows, and other elements

Hotkeys for working with the clipboard

Ctrl + A - select all elements in a window or document, for example, to select all text in the editor;
Ctrl + X - cut elements or text (to the clipboard*) (or ⇧ Shift + DELETE );

Ctrl + Y - repeat the last action (or undo the undo action).

* The clipboard is an intermediate (temporary) storage of data (text, files, folders, images, etc.) for transferring or copying in different programs, or within one program. In Windows, data in the buffer is stored until the next copying or turning off the PC (if you copied one element and did not paste it anywhere, and then copied another element, the first one will no longer be available in the clipboard). There are programs that expand the capabilities of the clipboard.

*RMB - right mouse button (respectively LMB - left);

Yandex Browser is a web browser from the Russian developer Yandex, built on Chromium. The program implements many user-friendly components that can significantly increase the speed of browsing the Internet. The company regularly releases new versions of the product and fresh patches, but some elements may still not work quite stably. This article describes why the back button sometimes does not work in the Yandex browser, and provides a detailed guide to solving this unpleasant problem.

It is quite possible that the problem you are having with “Back” has long been resolved, it’s just that for some reason you do not have the corresponding patch installed on your computer.

Unlike many of its competitors, it is impossible to disable the auto-update function in the Yandex browser. However, unfortunately, this does not mean that you are 100% likely to have the latest version of the product. The downloading and installation of new patches may be hindered by an installed antivirus program, a built-in firewall, or the actions of various viruses. Sometimes automatic downloading may be prohibited by your office system administrator.

Therefore, you should make sure that you have the latest version of the program.

If this information is not there, then a special button called “Update” will be available to you. Click on it to start the process of downloading and installing the available update.

If for some reason this button is not available for clicking, the best solution would be to completely reinstall the program.

Manual reinstallation

The first step is to remove the browser.

Run the downloaded installation file and wait until the procedure completes. You now have the latest version of the software installed.

Smart button

The object of discussion is the “Left Arrow” icon, often present in many browsers, explorers and text editors. This arrow is used to go back to the previous visited page, directory and document state. Developers from Yandex, in an effort to make their project as high quality as possible, added several more functions to this element.

The arrow can not only return to previously visited resources, but also redirect you to other programs. If Yandex is assigned as your default browser, it will launch when you click on any hyperlink. So, if, for example, while reading text in a Word document, you find a link to a site and open it, you will automatically find yourself in the Yandex browser. And now, using the Back icon, you can return to working with the document in Word.

In addition, the “hung” icon has a function for going to the history of recent visits. When you click on the RMB symbol, a drop-down context menu opens, which contains quick links to recently opened sites and a window for working with the browser history.

As you know, the simpler something is, the more difficult it is for it to fail. Such objects require a large number of checks to operate. Increasing the number of lines of executable code clutters the interface, as a result of which the function may “hang” during operation.

This is precisely the reason why “Back” does not work for some users. Yandex is actively working to improve its product, and the number of bug reports is constantly decreasing. Most likely, this problem will soon cease to bother people who have chosen this wonderful browser.

The need to know hotkeys arises when working regularly with Yandex Browser. Using quick combinations gives a significant increase in the speed of interaction with the tool. Initially, remembering them may seem difficult for untrained users, but with experience comes comfort.

Manipulating windows and tabs

Opening and closing tabs in the Yandex browser is done using a standard set of commands. For example, the combination Ctrl +T serves to create an empty tab. If you add a key to the combination Shift, the tab will additionally become active. You can close the currently active tab by pressing on the keyboard Ctrl +F4 or Ctrl +W. You can sequentially switch between existing tabs using combinations Ctrl +Tab, and Ctrl +Shift +Tab.

Similar commands are used to work with windows. Keyboard shortcut Ctrl +N will create a new empty window. If you add Shift to the combination, incognito mode will be additionally activated. Close windows in the Yandex browser by pressing Ctrl + Shift +W or Alt+F4. To transfer messages, two commands are assigned: Ctrl + LMB will open the target site in a new tab, and Shift + LMB– in a new window.

Bookmarks and history

For comfortable work with bookmark functions, there are 4 simple combinations:

« Ctrl" + "D"– saves the selected page to the list of bookmarks;
« Ctrl" + "Shift" + "D"– saves as bookmarks all pages that are currently open in the browser;
« Ctrl" + "Shift" + "O"– an empty tab will be created in which the bookmark manager will open;
« Ctrl" + "Shift" + "B"– displays/hides the bookmarks bar located under the address bar.

Browsing history is managed using the following keyboard shortcuts:

« Ctrl" + "H"– opens the browsing history section;
« Ctrl" + "J"– opens the download history section;
« Ctrl" + "Shift" + "Del"– calls the utility for cleaning history.

Editing, navigation and search

To edit information inside a Yandex browser page, standard Windows combinations are used:

« Ctrl" + "Z"– cancels the last user action;
« Ctrl" + "A"– all text is selected;
« Ctrl" + "C"– copies the selected fragment;
« Ctrl" + "X"– cuts out the selected fragment;
« Ctrl" + "V"– inserts a fragment from the clipboard;
« Ctrl" + "O"– opens a local file.

For ease of navigation, there are the following hotkeys:

« Space"– scroll down one screen;
« Home» And " End"– the transition is made to the beginning and end of the page, respectively;
« F5" And « Ctrl" + "F5"– updates the active page using and without using the cache, respectively;
« Esc" – stopping the loading process of an open page.

The group of search functions includes:

« Ctrl" + "F" or « F3"– perform a search;
« Ctrl" + "Shift" + "G" And « Ctrl" + "G"– go to the previous and next found matches, respectively.

Developer features and other useful features

When developing websites, a number of functions provided by the Chromium engine will be useful. For example, you can open the developer panel using the combination Ctrl +Shift +I or a simpler alternative - F12. The keyboard shortcut allows you to view the source code of the page Ctrl +Shift +U, and you can call the JavaScript console by pressing Ctrl +Shift +J.

It doesn’t matter whether you work or relax on the Internet, but one way or another, several tabs are open in your browser. Sometimes situations occur when open windows with the necessary information disappear or they were closed accidentally. Of course, no one remembers the direct address of the link and many, quite possibly, begin to look for information that has disappeared in a new way. Modern Internet browsers (in particular, such well-known ones as Google Chrome and Yandex) have one very necessary option for such cases - you can open one or more accidentally closed tabs or pages visited. There are several ways to do this.

Page recovery

The latest versions of the Yandex browser have an option to automatically restore pages after a reboot or when the browser is turned off. If the computer turns off or freezes and the browser was disabled incorrectly, after restarting the program a dialog box will appear asking you to restore all closed tabs. Having agreed with the proposed option, the browser will automatically load all previously opened sites.

To eliminate the possibility of losing information when closing the browser, you can set the last viewed pages to automatically load. For this:

Open your internet browser menu;
Select “Settings”;
Find the “Open at startup” section in the window that opens
Check the box next to “Previously opened”.

If after these steps the pages still do not open, proceed to the next recovery options.

Keyboard shortcut (hotkeys)

A convenient and simple way to open closed tabs in the Yandex browser is to press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+T.

Important! It should be remembered that all such combinations work with Latin letters on any language keyboard layout.

When pressed, this combination will open the last closed page in the active browser window (regardless of the time it was closed). Pressing it again will open the penultimate one and so on downwards. Thus, using the brute force method, we can return the information we need, which was accidentally or deliberately hidden. However, this is also a disadvantage of this method; you cannot directly specify a specific link, you can only iterate through it.

Using the context menu

Some people don’t like or don’t know how to use hotkeys (keyboard shortcuts), but prefer working with a mouse. In this case, in order to restore tabs in the Yandex browser, you can hover the cursor over the tab bar and call up the context menu with the right mouse button. In the window that opens, select the item “Open just closed”:

Unfortunately, the disadvantage of this method is that you can only work with the latest actions. If we need to open information from an earlier period, this method is not effective.

Restore using Tablo

In order to return a recently closed page, you can use a special button on the Yandex browser display.

1.Launch the browser or open a new window;

2.Click the “Recently Closed” button;

Back button

If the user simply switched to another site in the same window, you can return to previous pages using special program control buttons:

This method eliminates the disadvantages of the above. When you hover the cursor over the “Back” button (left arrow), an auxiliary window appears with a list of all page transitions (in some versions of browsers you must hold down the press to drop the list). Click on any item in the list and go to the desired resource.

This method also has a disadvantage - the list of transitions is shown only for this specific tab; it will not be possible to restore data if this window was closed.

Browsing history

This recovery method is more cumbersome, but it has some advantages over the two described above.

As you know, any browser, including the Yandex browser, keeps constant statistics of all user actions. All these statistics are available and with its help you can easily open a closed tab, to do this you need to:

Open browser menu;
Hover the cursor over the “History” item;
In the pop-up window, click on the desired link;
A window will open with the previously visited page.

The full list of visited pages can be seen using another keyboard shortcut Ctrl+H, or accessed through the browser menu:

Click on the browser menu icon;
Select and click on the “History” section;
In the pop-up window, also click on “History”;
A window will open in front of the user with all the pages visited for the entire time he has been using the Internet browser.

If you actively use the Internet, the list can be quite extensive. The developers have provided for this and all hyperlinks are conveniently sorted not only by day of the week, but also by time of visit to a particular site. In addition, you can go to this section using a direct link: browser://history/.

Bookmarks

In order not to lose important information or just an interesting site accidentally found on the Internet, the Yandex browser functionality allows you to save links to these resources in a special “Bookmarks” section.

By adding a link to a bookmark, you can easily and without unnecessary movements go to the desired page, even if you accidentally closed the tab with it. It's easy to do. There are two types of bookmarks: text and visual (Tableau), and, accordingly, two ways to add the desired page.

To add a text bookmark, just click on the star located on the right in the address bar:

To add a visual bookmark to the scoreboard, in principle, you do not need to do anything; when you visit one site multiple times, a link to it will automatically appear on the scoreboard. However, you can also do this manually.

1. Just open a new window and select the “Add” button below the visual tiles.

2.In the window that opens, enter the link in a special line.

3.Click “Finish”.

As you can see, there are many ways to restore closed windows with information in your browser. Each user will choose the option that will be most convenient for him to implement.

Finally, a few more useful browser features.

To open a new tab in the Yandex browser, you just need to click on “+” next to the already open one. For lovers of hot keys - the combination Ctrl + T.

To switch between tabs can be used as a regular mouse, or the Ctrl+Tab key combination. This combination will switch open pages alternately from left to right. To switch in reverse order, you can use the combination Ctrl+Shift+Tab.

Using the context menu:

move the cursor to the desired hyperlink,
right-click to open the menu,
select “open link in new tab”
The "Open in new window" menu item opens new windows instead of tabs.

The second option is convenient for those who are comfortable with keyboard shortcuts. We move the cursor over the link, hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard and simply click on the link. It will automatically open in a new tab. To open a new window, you need to hold down the Shift key instead of Ctrl.

There is also a third option - hover the cursor over the link and click on the wheel on the mouse. Simple and convenient.

Grouping tabs

For convenience, the developers have provided the ability to group information. To do this, you can simply hold down the left mouse button and drag the page to the desired location. In addition, pages can be grouped in different windows; to do this, hold the page with the left button and drag it to a free space on the desktop. This will automatically open a second browser window. You can then drag the others one at a time to group them.

Pin tabs

It happens that we have one or more tabs open all the time. This could be social networks, mail, or other necessary material that needs to be saved. In order to prevent accidental closing, as well as to save space in the browser window, it is possible to pin an open page. To do this, call the context menu with the right mouse button on the active window and select “Pin tab”. Now these sites will be separately grouped on the left side of the browser window until you force close them.

Close tabs

There are several options here too.

On the active tab, click on the cross “X” on the right.

On the active page, right-click and select “Close”.

On the active tab, use the keyboard shortcuts that close it: Alt+F4 or Ctrl+W.

In addition, you can close all pages except the active one, or close all tabs to the right of the active one. This can be done using the same context menu by selecting the appropriate items:

Working with a group of tabs

All of the above actions can be performed not with one tab, but with a group. To do this, we need to select a group of tabs. We hold down the ctrl key on the keyboard and, without releasing it, click on the ones we need. Further, by analogy, we can close, move, group selected tabs.

Tabs at the bottom

Perhaps someone will find it convenient to display pages at the bottom of the browser window. To do this option, you need to open the context menu on the browser tab bar using the right mouse button and select “Show tabs below”:

By doing the reverse procedure, we will move the tabs up accordingly.

When you open many tabs, each tab shrinks to fit on your screen. Using the program menu, you can reduce or increase the display size of tabs:

Go to Menu -> Settings -> Minimum tab size -> “select the desired item”.

So, we see that Yandex has made a lot of effort to make its program easier to use and with each new version it increases the number of useful functions of its product. Each user can choose the settings he needs. Take advantage of convenient options in everyday work or use data recovery and search mechanisms.
