What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack? (self.asklemmy)

Middle clicking links to open in a new tab

Using chip clips when you can tuck one side of the bag in and roll the other down.

You can also hold Control and left click to do the same. Then just Control+Tab to cycle through your tabs.

Or ALT+NumberRow to select a tab

What if I have over 1000 tabs open?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Then you have lost control of your life and shortcuts are the least of your problems.

I happen to know from own experience that my Firefox will become slow and crash randomly when I get near 1000 tabs. Then I discovered OneTab extension and I just all the open tabs to a single OneTab page where it can be found later If needed (but I rarely do 😅). But feels much easier than just closing all.

Then it is time to use the all mighty Left Click.

Then you’re using tabs as bookmarks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

But I have over 10,000 bookmarks!

[–] TehBamski 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You mean Control+NumberRow.

This is neat.

Different commands on different interfaces. On windows it used to be CTRL but on Linux I've found it's ALT more now
