    CTRL +S to download the page...

    CTRL + F to find a name in a printed text, especially good if the text is a book.

    On a hunch and generalizing from CTRL-1, I tried CTRL-2 on my browser and was sent to my second tab. Ditto CTRL-3, etc.

    A useful tip.

    Thanks.

    CTRL + 0 removes the zoom in or out
