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.

motomike I agree with you. MS should fix that gap and add some missing shortcuts. I got confused because the initial topic request as a list of currently-available keyboard shortcuts. Maybe you could ask for it on the smile send feedback button. That way you can even track your request/bug by email notifications.

 

P.S.: Just a side note, I tried the Ctrl+k again while writing that response and it's a forum shortcut to insert a link on the message editor. :)

As a workaround for now, there is an extension (which has an extra Windows component) called AutoControl Shortcut Manager that is available from the Chrome extension store https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/autocontrol-shortcut-mana/lkaihdpfpifdlgoapbfocpmekbokmcfd that allows you to map keyboard shortcuts to other keys - I have mapped Ctrl-K to Duplicate Tab (this is the one that really annoyed me as I used it a lot).

    TheAndyMac This should really be built directly into the browser or bought up by Microsoft and open sourced. Having to install a non open source native extension for functionality generally expected from any modern application is something I would hope the Microsoft Edge team steers clear off.
