Undocumented Shortcuts and Features
-
I thought it would be useful to collect a number of features or shortcuts that are not documented in Help. I will add any others to this first post as I find them or others users report them.
- Alt+Left-click on close button = Close Other Tabs.
- Shift+Left-click on a link = Open in new tab
- Ctrl+Left-click in URL in address bar = Go to the directory before point clicked
- Ctrl+Left-click on the Back/Forward Navigation Buttons to open the URL in a New Tab
- Click on the Active Tab to minimize it (Settings, Tabs, Tab Features) to quickly view the previous tab
- Set the Active Tab Minimum Width (Settings, Tabs, Tab Display)
- The screenshot for Page Actions needs updating
- Quick Select: Click at the start of text; Shift+Click at end of the desired text block to select it.
- Alt+Click on the Show/Hide Panel Icon in the Status Bar to set the Panels to Floating/Docked
- Middle-click reload button will duplicate / clone tab
- Alt+Click or Middle-click on Panel Icon to open in a New Tab (except for downloads)
- 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.
Please let me know if any of the above shortcuts or features are documented in help.

@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

@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.
