Facebook Shortcut Keys

Published on Wednesday, April 13, 2011 in


Facebook has a bunch of shorttcut keys, working on most browsers, that allow users to browse the site in an easier way (or if you don't have a mouse Tongue).

Note: for each of these shortcut keys, if you're using Firefox, you'll need to use Shift+Alt instead of just Alt, and for Internet Explorer you'll need to hit the Enter key after the shortcut to trigger it. If you're using a Mac, you'll need to use Ctrl+Opt instead of Alt.

» New Message: Alt + M. This shortcut key doesn’t seem to work in Internet Explorer at all, but if you're using Google Chrome or Firefox, it should work fine, though Firefox will use Shift+Alt+M instead.

» Search Box: Alt + ?. This shortcut key is the same in Chrome and Internet Explorer, but is Shift+Alt+? in Firefox—it's really a very useful shortcut, since the search box gets you access to all your friends easily.

» Home Page: Alt + 1. This shortcut takes you to your home page—if you're in Firefox it’s Shift+Alt+1 and IE is Alt+1 and then Enter.

» Your Profile: Alt + 2. This shortcut takes you to your profile page—if you're in Firefox it’s Shift+Alt+2 and IE is Alt+2 and then Enter.

» Friend Requests: Alt + 3. This shortcut is somewhat useless unless you're the most popular person in the world, as it opens up the friend requests page. If you’re in Firefox it’s Shift+Alt+3 and IE is Alt+3 and then Enter.

» Messages: Alt + 4. This shortcut opens up the Messages dialog. If you're in Firefox it’s Shift+Alt+4 and IE is Alt+4 and then Enter.

» Notifications: Alt + 5. This shortcut opens up the Notifications dialog. If you’re in Firefox it's Shift+Alt+5 and IE is Alt+5 and then Enter.

There are many, many others as well. Account Settings: Alt + 6, Privacy Settings: Alt + 7, Facebook Fan Page: Alt + 8, Terms of Service: Alt + 9, Help Centre: Alt + 0.
