8. Quick Select: Click at the start of text; Shift+Click at end of the desired text block to select it.
9. Alt+Click on the Show/Hide Panel Icon in the Status Bar to set the Panels to Floating/Docked
10. Middle-click reload button will duplicate / clone tab
11. Alt+Click or Middle-click on Panel Icon to open in a New Tab (except for downloads)
12. After selecting “Capture Selection” from the Status Bar camera icon, click anywhere on the page (do not drag), then click on the camera icon to save a screenshot of the active window.
13. Double-click on border of panel to hide the panel and the panel toolbar (= Shortcut F4)

@pafflick said in Undocumented Shortcuts and Features:
[CTRL]+ click on URL in the address bar to go one directory "up".
to be precise, the url gets cut on the subdirectory where you ctrl-click

@pesala said in Undocumented Shortcuts and Features:
- Ctrl-click on a link = Open in new background tab

These two are documented here:
There are also several ways to open a new tab in the background:
- (...)

@dannyromano said in Floating panel switch on panel's toolbar:
OP, I just found the feature you're looking for. It's already implemented. If you hold ALT while clicking the "Hide Panel" button in the status bar (bottom), it toggles floating panels on and off.
