Shortcuts

Velocity implements standard keyboard shortcuts that web browsers use in order to navigate. Due to the limitations of JavaScript, some of these have to be adapted to be slightly different.

• Ctrl + R - Reload current tab
• Ctrl + E - Search
• Ctrl + U - View page source
• Ctrl + Shift + I - Open developer tools
• Alt + ArrowLeft - Navigate backwards in history
• Alt + ArrowRight - Navigate forward in history
• Ctrl + D - Bookmark current page
• Ctrl + Shift + B - Toggle bookmarks bar
• Ctrl + H - Open history

Adapted Shortcuts

• Alt + T - Open new tab (originally Ctrl + T)
• Alt + W - Close current tab (originally Ctrl + W)

API

Velocity exposes certain APIs in order to allow developers to easily incorperate Velocity into their own projects. To learn more, check out the API Docs.
