Internet Explorer Shortcut Keys

There are just a few keyboard shortcuts I use in Internet Explorer religiously.  Those include:

CTRL-ENTER: This is my favorite.  When typing in the URL of a website, you can skip the "www" and the ".com".  For example, in the address box, enter google, then CTRL-ENTER and low and behold, the address turns into www.google.com. 

CTRL-F: Find on the page.  Looking for a specific word, use CTRL-F.

CTRL-N: opens a new Internet Explorer Window.

ALT-LeftArrow & ALT-RightArrow: Simulates the Explorer Back and Forward button.  Quite handy.

Microsoft includes a number of other Internet Explorer keyboard shortcuts, but I can never seem to remember them.  Maybe you can.  Here is the complete list.
