Straight from the horse's mouth over at the Internet Explorer Team Blog, here are some handy keyboard shortcuts for getting to the new Favorites Center in Internet Explorer 7.

  • Ctrl+H = History
  • Ctrl+I = Favorites
  • Ctrl+J = Feeds

Outstanding! Anything that lets me keep working without reaching for the mouse gets my vote!

Edit: Here are a few more; some old, some new:

  • Ctrl+B = Organize Favorites
  • Ctrl+D = Add current page to Favorites
  • Ctrl+E = Jump to the search box at the top-right
  • Ctrl+L = Open a URL (also Ctrl+O)
  • Ctrl+Q = Toggle QuickTabs
  • Ctrl+R = Refresh the current page
  • Ctrl+T = Open a new tab
  • Ctrl+W = Close the current tab

As I find more I'll add them here. I'm not going to worry about the shortcuts that work everywhere, like Ctrl+C for copy and Ctrl+F for find.

Update! Those guys over at the Internet Explorer Team Weblog are such copy cats! :-)
