Tips and tricks to help you get up-to-speed on your Mac

Today’s QuickTip will show you how to access the URLs in your Safari bookmarks bar with lightning speed.

For each of the first nine bookmarks in your bookmarks bar, Safari has assigned it a keyboard shortcut. What is it? That’s easy! For the first bookmark (not folder), it’s Command + 1, for the second, it’s Command + 2, and so on.

In this example, Command + 1 would open the ‘Weather’ bookmark, and Command + 2 would open the ‘Analytics’ bookmark. It’s that easy! If you use Command + T to open a new tab in Safari, and then use the bookmarks bar shortcuts, you’ll be able to open multiple bookmarked pages very quickly, each in a new tab. Try it out!

To load your first bookmark bar item, press "Command + 1", for your second, "Command + 2", and so on
