I've not found the typical shortcut cmd+e or ctrl+e to select the search bar. Is there such an option?

The most useful hotkey which is missing, that I had an extension for in Chrome, is to switch between recently used tabs(not only forwards and backwards), with functionality like that alt+tab for apps/windows.

It would be great if you added a "Name Window" shortcut key

Ctrl / Q does not seem to Quit Brave browser......does nothing....
Reply #1 PratikSonnad Jan 24, 2023 at 09:37 am
you can alternatively use ctrl+shift+w to close all tabs

A number of these appear to be copy/pasted from Chrome's shortcuts and don't work as intended or at all with Brave. Running the latest Brave version at the time of writing (1.40.107), Ctrl+Shift+P does not open a new private tab/window (Ctrl+Shift+N does that), but instead opens a Print dialog. All of the documented Inspector shortcuts do not open Inspector - F12 does however. View page source is Ctrl+U, not Ctrl+Shift+U. Please verify every shortcut works in Brave and update accordingly.

How can I create a desktop shortcut with icon on Window 10 from a Brave bookmark
Comment #5 by HarshadMathur Aug 30, 2021 at 04:02 am Reply
When navigating between multiple tabs, it would be great if we could switch to the last used tab ie: previous active tab instead of having to go through all the tabs from the first active tab to the last active tab. Basically use a stack instead of a queue ( it's a data structure reference)

A majority of the keyboard shortcuts listed on this page are incorrect(Either they do nothing, or they do something other than what is proposed). The keyboard shortcuts used in Brave are identical to those used in Google Chrome. If you navigate to the Chrome keyboard shortcuts page at the url below, you will find that every single proposed shortcut works in Brave as described. https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/157179?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop hl=en

Please integrate a toggle “to top of current web page and back again” by clicking page tab

Hi Andy - can't get this working under windows. Can you double-check, or something that may work under Linux?

Hi, I tried the "Ctrl+," [Control + comma on right of M key] but it doesn't open Settings for me. Shouldn't it?
Reply #1 admin Oct 16, 2020 at 09:17 am
Used to work, but seems to no longer function. Could not find another key that opens settings. So i removed it from the list.

I fixed some brackets to format keys, added a shortcut for viewing history. I also plan to rearrange everything into categories (to clarify that some things can be done several different ways)
