Chrome keyboard shortcuts for Mac
54 shortcuts · Updated
These are the default Google Chrome keyboard shortcuts on macOS, curated from Google's official Chrome Help page. Chrome leans heavily on the Cmd key for tabs and the address bar, with Cmd Option combos reserved for power features like Developer Tools. Learn the tab and address bar shortcuts first - they cover most of a browsing session.
Nothing matches - try fewer letters, or an action word like "close" or "split".
Or stop looking them up. Super Shortcuts puts the Chrome commands you actually use one hyper key away: hold it, see every command for the app you're in, release a key to run it. No memorizing - the cheat sheet is the shortcut.

Frequently asked questions
How do I see all keyboard shortcuts in Chrome on a Mac?
Chrome has no built-in cheat sheet, but every shortcut is listed on Google's official Chrome keyboard shortcuts help page, and most appear next to their commands in Chrome's menu bar menus.
Can I customize Chrome's keyboard shortcuts?
Not within Chrome itself - the browser shortcuts are fixed. On a Mac you can remap any menu command via System Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts → App Shortcuts, and extensions can register their own shortcuts at chrome://extensions/shortcuts.
Which Chrome shortcuts should I learn first?
Start with ⌘L (jump to the address bar), ⌘T (new tab), and ⌘⇧T (reopen a closed tab). Those three cover the bulk of everyday browsing, and ⌘⇧T alone saves countless accidental closes.
