Why Chrome Keyboard Shortcuts Matter for Squarespace Pros
When you’re juggling layouts, CSS tweaks, and client feedback, every extra click bleeds time. Mastering a handful of Chrome shortcuts keeps you in flow, slashes busywork, and most of all, makes you look like the wizard (or witch!) you know you are.
1. Neat-o Mode (Incognito Window)
windows: Ctrl + Shift + N
mac: ⌘ + Shift + N
Open a clean slate, paste your URL, and see the site without getting pulled back into the Squarespace editor.
2. Time-Traveler (Reopen closed tab)
windows: Ctrl + Shift + T
mac: ⌘ + Shift + T
Accidentally closed that page? Command + Shift + T resurrects it instantly. Continue to hit it repeatedly to keep rewinding.
3. Finder
windows: Ctrl + F
mac: ⌘ + F
Searching a massive style guide or long DevTools dump? Command + F, type the class, and skip the scroll-marathon. Pretty standard, but don’t sleep on it.
4. Refresh (Cache Buster)
windows: Ctrl + Shift + R
mac: ⌘ + Shift + R
Caching busting can fix a multitude of sins. Command + Shift + R forces Chrome to grab the latest assets.
5. Code Grabber (Web Inspector)
windows: Ctrl + Shift + C
mac: ⌘ + Shift + C
Command + Shift + C opens DevTools with the inspect tool active. Click and go straight to the html that you wanna check out.
6. Bookmark Bar
windows: Ctrl + Shift + B
mac: ⌘ + Shift + B
Hide your bookmarks before screen-sharing. One tap keeps your presentation professional.
7. Full-Screen Mode
windows: F11
mac: ⌘ + Ctrl + F
Max out Chrome to showcase builds or record Loom videos without UI clutter.
8. Zoom (Eye-Saver)
windows: Ctrl + +/−
mac: ⌘ + +/−
My eyes, my special eyes. Command + Plus/Minus rescales the page so you can see.
