Safari keyboard shortcut to open current page in Google Chrome
I followed John Gruber's suggestion and removed Flash Player from my Mac. Like John, I've come to rely upon Google Chrome for viewing the occasional Flash movie. As a result I've become proficient at the keyboard dance required to open in Chrome the page I'm currently viewing in Safari:
- ⌘L (File > Open Location…)
- ⌘C (Edit > Copy)
- ⌘Space (invoke Quicksilver/Spotlight)
- C-H-R-↩ (open Google Chrome)
- ⌘L (File > Open Location…)
- ⌘V (Edit > Paste)
- ↩ (go, go, go!)
Well, I've performed this dance for the last time. I now do this instead:
- ⌥⌘G
Credit for this simple but brilliant idea goes to Rob McBroom. Rob's post on opening pages in Google Chrome lists the (very easy) steps required to enable this shortcut.
Update —
Chris points out that John himself mentioned this trick in his aforelinked post.
