A keyboard shortcut I use daily helps me navigate through the open tabs in Safari, Chrome, Edge, Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.:
On a Mac or PC laptop or desktop computer - Control (Ctrl) +Tab (press Control then press Tabrepeatedly as you scroll through the open tabs)
Open your browser then open several different websites in different tabs and try it out right now! The only way to embrace a new keyboard shortcut is to do it deliberately and repeatedly for awhile to see if it is beneficial for you.
In defense of my keeping many tabs open on a browser:
1) If I am gathering information for a class or group, I don't want to open each website repeatedly; I just leave the page open.
2) I alternate working between my devices: laptop, iPhone and iPad. By leaving the tabs open in Safari, I can pick up where I left off on any of those devices. Maybe more about that at a later date.
3) I recently added the Chrome extension OneTab; I haven't decided yet if I like using it as a replacement for displaying all open tabs, but I'm giving it a try.

Tab key
Do you use the Tab key on your computer keyboard?
My mom is spending some time with us this week as I help her learn all about her new desktop computer. She's doing very well, but one of the things I discovered yesterday is that she has never used the Tab key...except to indent a paragraph.
So, my tip(s) for today (or maybe just a reminder): When you fill out any form on the internet, use the Tab key instead of using your mouse each time to move to the next box (field).
Example: First Name [Tab] Last Name [Tab] Address [Tab] City [Tab]
What if you get to a drop-down menu? Often, you can just type the first letter of the word you are looking for.
What if you make a mistake? Just use Shift+Tab.
The Tab key can also be helpful when composing an email to move between the To, Subject, and Body fields.
Alt +Tab can be used on your computer to quickly switch between programs you have open on your computer. For Mac users, Command +Tab. Give it a try!

Use the Tab key
Did you know that you can quickly move from one field to another on an online form by using the Tab or Shift + Tab keys?
If you are filling out an online form, e-mail, or other text field you can quickly move between each of the fields by pressing the Tab key or Shift+Tab to move back a field. (You don't have to move your mouse to each box and click...just use the Tab key).
