#1

Jan Jones couldn’t have said it better. Why would it be unexpected for Bowie to leave something substantial behind to someone who stuck beside him for 42 years? 🤷

Side note: You can check out some of Jan’s other takes here.

It probably wasn’t $2 million, but what’s the most generous gift you’ve ever received? 🎁

1 Tech Tip

Two shortcuts to switch browser windows and tabs

A few weeks ago, I shared a tech tip on switching applications with ⌘ + Tab.

This week I’m giving you a 2-for-1, specifically for your browser!

⚡ Shortcut #1: Quickly swap between browser windows

1) Have multiple windows for the same browser open

2) Press Cmd (⌘) and tilde (~) on Mac or Ctrl and tilde (~) on PC

Pro tip: Keep the Command or Control key held down and keep tapping tilde (~) to repeatedly cycle through multiple open windows.

⚡Shortcut #2: Instantly switch between browser tabs

1) Have your browser open

2) Hold down Cmd (⌘) and Option (⌥) on Mac or Ctrl and Alt on PC

3) While holding both, use ← or → arrow keys to move left or right

To see these steps in action, check out the attached video. 👇

What's your favorite keyboard shortcut?
