Productivity & Internet Browsing Tips
7 Answers
Afternoon all,
Did you know that if you click a link with the scroll-wheel it will open in a tab/browser window?
On another thread we started discussing little productivity shortcuts and tips (derailing the thread a littl) - so I thought we could all share our favourites here.
Mine is:
In Windows 7/8 you can press WindowsKey + AnyNumber to open a new session of a program pinned to that slot in the taskbar.
Equally, by pressing WindowsKey + Alt + AnyNumber you'll see the right-click list for that pinned item - this usual includes recently opened docs, visited sites and other tasks you can kick-off from the pinned item.
Good for it you hate your touchpad!
So, what's your favourite little trick you think everyone should know?

So have two (or more) different browsers running (take your pick from firefox, opera, chrome, IE, whatever) and log each browser into a different gmail account ... works very nicely for me.

My mouse is one of those multi button, multi click types and I have set up the different features for my own convenience. It works the same in all browsers. :)
My best tip is in respect of the google search box. It is a great, quick calculator for basic sums eg type 6*3 in the search box, click 'enter' and the answer appears straight away.
