I get addicted to use shortcut keys rather that mouse during development because that makes things done really fast.
When I Google somthing in Chrome, I always use CTRL + T, CTRL +W, CTRL + L, CTRL (+ SHIFT) + TAB etc., but that is not fast enough for me, and I do not want to stop to use mouse to click the searching result, that is too slows. So I wonder if there is any shortcut key to handle that? Any advice from you will be greatly appreciate.Thanks in advance!
I am using the vimium extension for chrome. Justhit "f" and each link in the page gets an overlay, which displays the corresponding shortcut key for the link.

I seem to be almost entirely mouse-free at this point, minus being able to access the Bookmarks bar in Chrome with a keyboard shortcut! I've searched the web quite a bit for an answer, but to no avail....any ideas or workaround?
EDIT: Use Firefox. You can CMD + B --> will open Bookmarks navigator, and you can type to search, hit TAB, and then arrow through results
If you are hoping to click on the actual bookmarks on your Google Chrome browser, using keyboard shortcuts, on Mac, you can make use of Mac's Keyboard shortcuts feature.
Open System settings app
Open Shortcuts section under Keyboard
Choose App shortcuts
Click +
Choose Google Chrome as application
On the title field, enter Bookmarks->{Bookmark-name-goes-here}
Set a hotkey
Save the changes and you can now use this hotkey to call that bookmark. This basically is setting a shortcut to your browser's menu item.
Holmes is an extension that allows a shortcut activated bookmark search similar to Garrett's answer but without the "read and change all the data on any websites that you visit" permission.
Install the tool then press shift+alt+H
⌘ + Option + b
or
⌘ + Shift + b
Try this shortcut
cmd+opt+B
I found a chrome plugin that is super useful and goes beyond what I was hoping for. It's called Bookmark Navigator. Here is the link https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bookmark-navigator/bfibpphfhdpgkmbpkfmhdiklgcfmmkha
Below is a picture of what it looks like. The tool is summoned with cmd + b, and then you can start typing to search all of your bookmarks. You can press enter to access the bookmark at top of list, or use arrow keys to navigate further down the list.
This is the fastest and most user friendly option I have found.
I used to work in Eclipse and had this very neat hotkey (Ctrl + O) which is used to search through the methods within a class.
I mean, if you are in the editor viewing a source of a class, and if you hit Ctrl + O, a pop-up comes up with all the methods listed. The list will get filtered if you start typing in. If I type in get, I can see a list of getters..
This is very helpful. I moved to PHP and PhpStorm and I miss this feature here, or I do not know if PhpStorm has this.
Do you guys have any idea of such a key combo in PhpStorm?
I have never used Eclipse .. so not 100% sure how that popup looks and works .. but here is the PhpStorm functionality:
Navigate | File Structure (Ctrl + F12 using Default keymap)
Alternatively just use Speed Search (just start typing) in actual Structure panel.
Often then I code I press on methods to check them out. Obviously PhpStorm jumps to that method location. Is there a shortcut to jump back to where I was before pressing on a method? I don't want to scroll back to that certain part of code again.
Using Windows 10
Try this:
Ctrl + Alt + Left
Will take you to last location. If you use Right you can go the other way around.
I started to use Chrome workspaces which is an awesome feature. Unfortunately the "toggle comment" shortcut (http://anti-code.com/devtools-cheatsheet/) "Cmd+/" is not working. When I press "Cmd+7" nothing happens or if the "switch panels" is on, then the panels switch. When pressing "Cmd + shift + 7" the help menu shows up from the top bar. How can I fix this. I really need this toggle comment shortcut.
There is a bug with some shortcuts that require to press a modifier key on non-english keyboard. I reported the issue here.
Workaround for Windows/Linux :
If you are using a german keyboard layout, pressing Ctrl + * should do the trick in the meantime. Make sure you use the * that is not on the numerical keyboard.
Workaround for Mac OS :
Use a keyboard layout editor, for example Ukelele, so as you can output a / without having to press Shift or any other modifier key.
I just checked that the shortcuts you are trying to use do actually work. I wrote the cheatsheet btw. The shortcuts work when you are using Chrome Canary, and you have to set up a workspace to work on the code that way. Also, Cmd+7 for me jumps to the 7th tab in my DevTools. Perhaps you have some other program overriding the shortcut key for that.
For more information on workspaces
There's also a more comprehensive list of shortcuts here.
I go to certain websites frequently. One day, when I typed "face" into my Chrome omnibox and hit enter (intending to go to Facebook), I must have done something differently, because it tried to go to "face" as an address (it didn't even search), and my DNS server told me it couldn't find "face." Ever after, "face" has been the first suggested URL by Chrome if I ever typed "f," "fa," "fac," or "face." This is very annoying.
How do I get rid of it?
On Linux:
Highlight the entry with your mouse or arrow keys and press shift + alt + delete.
On Mac OS X:
Highlight the entry with your mouse or arrow keys and press shift + fn + delete.
On Windows:
I think you highlight the entry and press shift + delete. I have not tested this.
