Is there a keyboard shortcut to open first google search result in a new page?

I would like to go to the first result of a google search easily, as I do in Chorme. In Chrome you can click TAB to hi-light the first result's link, then with a click open it. In Firefox, I can't do this, because if I click on TAB it will require me a lots of clicks to reach the first results.
I am using the apostrophe and the keyboard to search within the links of the page.
My goal is to open the first link without moving my hands from the keyboard.

I apologize in advance if this information from the Windows platform is not applicable to Mac:
If you have not disabled Instant Prediction results... After your results load, when you press the down arrow key on the keyboard, a blue triangle should appear to the left of the first result. You can use the up and down arrow keys to move between results, and open a result by pressing the Enter key.
It doesn't seem to work on page 2 of the results for the search for some reason. ''However, if I press the Tab key once on that page, then the blue triangle appears and I can use the up and down arrow keys. This inconsistency is strange...''
Some users have reported that logging into your Google account disables this feature, but I haven't noticed that myself.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to open the presently open web page in another tab? It used to be Ctrl + N.

    Is there a keyboard shortcut to open the presently open web page in another tab? It used to be Ctrl + N. This shortcut now opens a Tab with the home page instead of duplicating the web page I'm on.

    Firefox has always opened new tabs in a blank page, so I'm guessing that the way you had it before was added by an extension.
    If you to to Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, are there any extensions disabled?
    In any case, you can still do this with a mouse shortcut. Hold down the Ctrl key as you drag a tab to an empty area on the tab bar.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to open the previous page in a new tab that is right next to the current tab?

    Let's say I'm currently on page X, and the previous page I came from was page Y. Is there a keyboard shortcut to open page Y in a new tab right next to the tab with page X?
    Currently my only solution is to hold down cmd (for mac) and click the back arrow button, but again, I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut. I know CTRL + T opens up the same page in a tab right next to the current one, but I have to wait for it to load then press backspace to go back one page.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to open bins in the project pane?

    Hi there!
    Quick question: Is there a keyboard shortcut that allows you to open a bin in Premiere Pro's project panel?
    I know I can just double-click it, but I like sticking to my keyboard as much as possible. If there's any default keyboard shortcut or configurable one, please let me know.
    Thanks in advance!
    Edit: Version - Most up to date CC.

    Option clicking any bin twirl down will open all bins. Otherwise, as shooternz noted, the shortcut wouldn't know which bin you wanted to open, so it's not really possible with some kind of clicking.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to open the Services submenu?

    I'm trying to learn how to use Services and Automator.  One thing that seems to be missing is a keyboard shortcut to open the Services submenu (in any application)  I'm guessing after highlighting the object of interest the shortcut starts with option but what comes next I haven't the foggiest.

    @leroydouglas.  Your reply although factual is not in answer to my question.
    for example: I'm reading my question and your reply on a web page using Safari (with OS 10.6.7)
    If I select (highlight) a portion of any text in my question (or your reply) and then right-click (control-click) I get a contextual menu.  While the same text is highlighted, I go up to Safari's menu bar and pull down to and select-click Services submenu, I get another menu. Similar to the result of right-click, but different.
    I just thought that a feature of OS 10.6.x, Services, which relies so heavily on keyboard shortcuts would have a keyboard shortcut to open it.  So, far that shortcut has eluded me.
    TIA

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut for Opening the Channels Panel?

    I've googled, searched discussions, and tried recording actions but haven't found the solution.
    What I'd like is a simple keyboard shortcut to open the Channels panel.
    That's it.
    I can create and run actions that create, delete, or move channels; use the menu or channels tab to open it -- but I can't seem to find a way to use a keystroke combination to open the channels panel like you can do for the layers (F7) or actions (F9) panels.
    Anyone have an idea?
    Thanks!
    -Bonnie

    Thank you!
    Sometimes things are just simply right in front of you without being seen.
    The solution was spot on. I'd somehow not 'seen' the "Application Menu" drop-down in the keyboard shortcuts dialog box.
    Now back to post-processing!
    Thanks again.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to open a pop-up menu in Numbers 3?

    I have lots of spreadsheets with cells formatted as popup menus. I am accustomed to tabbing from cell to cell, and then tapping the spacebar to open the pop-up menu to select an option. Now it appaers that the only way to open a pop-up menu in Numbers 3 is to take my hand off the keyboard, mouse to the arrow button near the cell, click it, and then select an option. This is ridiculous. Has the shortcut changed, or is it just gone?

    Hi ozzwladoman,
    This is an old thread. Hitting the spacebar of course worked in Numbers 2, as noted in the thread to which you link.
    But it didn't trigger the Pop-Up Menu in the first releases of Numbers 3.  The spacebar trigger has been restored quite recently, I think in the April release of Numbers 3.2.
    In general Pop-ups are much improved in Numbers 3 over Numbers 2.

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to move from a Finder search bar to results?

    Is there a keyboard shortcut to move from a search bar in the top right of a Finder window, to the results below?

    In OS X 10.5.8's Finder, if I hit the "tab" key while the window's search bar is selected, it just cycles through the toolbar (back button, forward button, etc.).
    In 10.6.2's Finder, if I hit the "tab" key while the window's search bar is selected, it will eventually get to highlighting the files in the results list. But this only happens if I search from the universal Spotlight menu bar, and then "Show All" to launch those results in Finder.
    If I open a new Finder window, and then search from that window's search bar, the "tab" key will only get me as far as Search "This Mac" in the search filtering bar.
    I can confirm that i see exact same behavior as you in all these situations. I was going to suggest tabbing too but decided to check if it actually works first and ran into the same issues. I don't believe there is any other method to do what you want as this one does not work.

  • Keyboard Shortcut to open Finder?

    Is there a keyboard shortcut to open Finder? On my old windows machine I could press the windows key and E to open an explorer window and I used that all the time. I would love it if there was something like that for Finder. Sure I could click the icon on my dock, but I like using keyboard shortcuts as I find them faster. I know I can alt-tab, but if I have many things open then that is not fast at all. Please tell me I am not out of luck!

    If you like the keyboard you will really like writing a script or using the automator, either of which are extremely easy to learn and use.

    Is there a way to disable the keyboard shortcut which opens Adobe Bridge from Illustrator?
