How to use Facebook with keyboard shortcuts

Facebook has a small but handy keyboard shortcut that you can use to more easily navigate through the social networking site .
They are not universal shortcuts like twitter , so modifiers are different depending on the web browser and operating system you are using. Shortcuts work best with Chrome in Windows and Firefox on Mac OS X , because they only need one modifier key , plus the shortcut key . Also keep in mind that the number shortcuts must be pressed in a line of numbers , shortcuts do not work with the numeric keypad .

Here's keyboard shortcuts for Facebook :

Windows

Gnome for Firefox : Shift + Alt + #
Chrome modifier : Alt + #

Mac OS X

Gnome for Firefox : Control + #
Chrome modifier : Control + Option + #
Safari modifier : Control + Option + #

Abbreviations

1 : Home
2 : timeline / profile
3 : friends
4 : messages
5 : notifications
6 : general account settings
7 : privacy settings
8 : Facebook 's Facebook page
9 : legal terms
0 : help center
m : new message
? : search

Yes , if you are asking yourself why the list is not Internet Explorer , because it seems to work just shortcuts to Home and Timeline. However if you want to use shortcuts in IE , modifier is Alt + # , then Enter.
