Keyboard shortcuts

Extension shortcuts for bookmarking and navigation, plus in-app shortcuts for search and pages.

Start.me has two types of keyboard shortcuts: extension shortcuts that work anywhere in your browser, and in-app shortcuts that work on the Start.me page itself.

Extension shortcuts

These work on any webpage when you have our browser extension installed:

Alt+B

Save the current page as a bookmark

Alt+H

Open your Start.me homepage

Change extension shortcuts in Chrome, Edge, and Chromium browsers

  1. Click the Start.me icon in your toolbar.

  2. Click the cog icon to open Extension Options.

  3. Go to the Shortcuts tab.

  4. Click Change — this opens your browser's extension shortcuts page.

  5. Find the Start.me extension and set your preferred key combinations.

In-app shortcuts

These work on the Start.me page itself — no extension needed:

You can view and customize these in User preferences & display settings under the Keyboard Shortcuts section.

Tip

If a shortcut conflicts with another extension or a browser default, your browser will warn you. Choose a combination that isn't already in use.
