Today’s featured tech tip….
Quickly scroll up or down exactly one page in your browser
If you frequently view long web pages in your favorite computer browser you know how tedious it can be to scroll up and down the page.
Well today I’m going to tell you about a little trick that makes scrolling up and down a web page a lot easier…
The next time you fire up your favorite browser, open a page and press the Space Bar on your computer’s keyboard. You’ll see that pressing the Space Bar scrolls the page down exactly one screen. No guesswork or mis-steps with the mouse.
Need to scroll back up a one screen? No problem – just press the press the Shift key and the Space Bar at the same time.
