Safari Shortcuts For The Safari Web Browser On Windows Operating System
Posted by alex in Insights at 10:40 PMThere are many references to Safari shortcuts for OSX on Apple computers but not as many for Safari shortcuts on Windows computers so I figured it may help some people to have a reference for Safari shortcuts on computers running Windows. The below shortcuts have been specifically tested on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and Windows XP Professional 32-bit but I assume the below Safari web browser shortcuts will work on any version of Windows including all variations of Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows 7. Many of the Safari shortcuts for Apple are identical to the Safari shortcuts for Windows below. There are however many Safari shortcuts that are different because of keys being named differently on Apple keyboards versus Windows keyboards.
Below are five different sections of Safari keyboard shortcuts including Browser Window Shortcuts, Bookmarks View Shortcuts, Downloads View Shortcuts, Activity Window Shortcuts, and Menu Shortcuts.

The above should assist anyone that uses the Safari web browser on a regular basis on the Windows Operating System. Again I also wanted to mention that this has been tested specifically on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and Windows XP Professional 32-bit. I do believe there should not be any problems using the same Safari web browser shortcuts across all Windows versions including XP, Vista, and Windows 7.
