Facebook functions can be relatively easily accessed with keyboard shortcuts. The implementation is a bit odd since it’s browser dependent – what you need to do is press the combination corresponding to your browser and key for that action.
For example if you’re using Firefox for PC and you’re on a PC and you’d like to access your inbox then you’d press: Shift+ Alt + 4
-
Internet Explorer for PC: Alt + #, then Enter
-
Firefox for PC: Shift + Alt + #
-
Safari for Mac: Ctrl + Opt + #
-
Firefox for Mac: Ctrl + Opt + #
-
Chrome for Mac: Ctrl + Opt + #
-
Chrome for PC: Alt + #
