Keyboard shortcuts

Please can we see a list of currently-available keyboard shortcuts?  I am continually hitting the ones I'm used to from IE and Edge classic, and the results are entirely unpredictable. For example...

    Noel Burgess Thanks for reaching out! Here's a list of all the current keyboard shortcuts in the new Microsoft Edge. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4531783/microsoft-edge-keyboard-shortcuts

     

    Hopefully that helps.

Noel Burgess My guess is that all of these shortcuts are valid: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/157179?hl=en

    cbomtempo but this is Edge and not Chrome, so the behaviour should be the same as Edge is now!

    cbomtempo This is very much not the case. Specifically Duplicate Tab (ctrl + k) is not a shortcut action in chrome. It used to be but they removed it several years ago.

     

    Duplicate tab is one of my most used shortcut combos and it would be a huge loss to lose it.

      motomike I do not got your comment. Why it is not the case here? He asked for a list of available keyboard shortcuts and from the list that I pointed all that I tried worked for me. Maybe I'm missing something?

        cbomtempo Some of the hotkeys are not available in Chrome. As I pointed out, for instance, Chrome does not have a "Duplicate tab (ctrl + k)" shortcut at all. So the hotkeys are not fully equivalent. That is what I was pointing out.

    Thank you - I'll try them out.

     

    It makes little sense to me to expect users to learn the shortcuts from a competitor's browser instead of applying the ones we're used to, many of which have been around for 20 years!
