“alt” + the left arrow : moves you back a page
“alt” + the right arrow : moves you forward a page

I use to type an address bar and search bar. Using Ctrl+K and Ctrl+L make this job more easier. Thanks thepinkc.net!

Great list of shortcuts. This is a very useful guide for anyone who is used to finding everything in the toolbar. I use shortcuts all the time and I didn’t know of a few of these.
