Did You Know Facebook Had Keyboard Shortcuts? Here Are 21 Handy Ones

Whether you like to admit it or not, you probably spend a good amount of your life on Facebook. And I’m willing to guess that you’d prefer not to waste your life away looking at wedding photos of people you barely know.

Which is why it’d behoove you to learn some handy desktop keyboard shortcuts for the site. Yes, that’s right –– Facebook has its own keyboard shortcuts, which can help you zoom through the site without dragging around your mouse.

Here’s a full list of the most useful keyboard tricks:

News Feed shortcuts

You can use these when you’re browsing the News Feed, that list of stories you see in the center column when you surf to www.facebook.com.

• j and k: Tab down and up between posts. Press j to go to the next post; press k to go up to the previous post. You’ll know you have selected a post because a thick black line will show up to the left of that post.
• l: Like or unlike a selected story.
• c: Comment on a selected story.
• s: Share a selected story.
• o: Open the attachment of a selected story.
• p: Post a status. Press p to get your cursor in the new status box and start typing.
• / (slash):Open up the search box.
• q: Search chat contacts.
• Enter: Tab from the tagging, location, or feeling sections to the text box when making a post.

And, most importantly, if you forget any of these

• ?: Open the list of keyboard shortcuts while in News Feed.

Access keys

You should be able to use these from any page on Facebook.

These guys vary by what browser and computer you’re using. So you’ll have to remember the specific code (below) that precedes each access code number. So if you want to open up Help on Chrome for Mac, you would hold down the Control, Option, and 0 keys. 

Internet Explorer for PC: Alt + [#], then Enter

Firefox for PC: Shift + Alt + [#]

Chrome for PC: Alt + [#]

Safari for Mac: Control + Option + [#]

Firefox for Mac: Control + Option + [#]

Chrome for Mac: Control + Option + [#]

• 0: Open the  help page.
• 1: Go home.
• 2: Go to your own profile page.
• 3: View your friends.
• 4: View your Facebook message inbox.
• 5: View your notifications.
• 6: View your settings.
• 7: View your Activity Log.
• 8:  View Facebook’s Facebook page.
• 9:  View Facebook’s Terms and Policies.
• m: Start composing a new Facebook message.

Even if you integrate two or three of these into your everyday Facebook stalking, you might be able to shave a few minutes off the time you spend online every day. Use it to get a beautiful manicure, like the hand model pictured at the top of this post.

No Indian university on top 200 list

IIT Delhi takes 235th place in the list

IIT-Bombay ranked 222 and IIT-Delhi at 235 while those in Kanpur, Madras and Kharagpur are in the 300 range.

Not a single Indian higher education institution has made it to the top 200 of the QS World University Rankings, which were released on Tuesday morning.

The first Indian presence on the list is the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, ranked 222.

IIT Delhi comes in second at 235 while those in Kanpur, Madras and Kharagpur are in the 300 range.

Delhi University comes in the 420 to 430 band.

Other Indian institutions that have made it to the rankings are Calcutta University, Benares Hindu University, Pune University, the Indian Institute of Science and Jawaharlal Nehru University.

All the top 10 positions in the rankings list are taken by the U.S. and U.K.-based universities with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology retaining the first position for the second year running.

The National University of Singapore leads the pack as far as the Asian continent is concerned and is ranked 22nd.

The poor showing of Indian institutions in world university rankings has become a cause of concern among educationists in the country and efforts have been under way for a couple of years now to evolve an India-generated ranking system.

A ranking committee – set up by the United Progressive Alliance government – has already submitted its report.

As per the proposal, an India-generated ranking system would ensure that the large set of institutions across the country are properly ranked and placed in proper perspective, factoring in aspects that are peculiar to India like the quota system.

Besides providing an Indian benchmark that can be used by world ranking lists as an indicator, a domestic ranking list would also help students and parents make a more informed choice instead of just going by lists brought out by media houses.
