Here's the list of Microsoft Edge Chromium Keyboard Shortcuts (Hotkeys).

Keyboard shortcuts are combinations of keys that you can use to do something in installed apps and with the operating system. They significantly improve productivity by allowing you to directly do some action without using your mouse. Today we will see which keyboard shortcuts are available in Edge Chromium.

Recent versions of the Microsoft Edge browser are based on the open source Chromium project curated by Google, and share the underlying technologies with Chrome. However, Microsoft has replaced Google's built-in services such as Translator, Search, etc, with company's very own solutions powered by Bing. It also comes with a number of exclusive features like Read Aloud. Currently, Microsoft is actively working on creating a new appearance for the browser, which follows the Fluent Design guidelines, and looks very stylish.

Like many modern apps, the browser supports plenty of keyboard shortcuts, also know as hotkeys. This post will show you which keyboard shortcuts (hotkeys) you can use in Microsoft Edge Chromium. This post will be kept updated. If you know more hotkeys, don't hesitate to leave a comment.
