Thank you for listing important IE 9 shortcuts. There is some error in the list, it seems that the 4th and 5th ones are interchanged. When you type Ctrl+W in Internet Explorer 9, it will close your existing window, instead of opening one.
thx
IE 9 seems cool
lets see when its out
1. alt menu enabling as default should not require searching/findinbg/installing registry zip files. glad i found one, it works- can see file-edit-view-etc menu by default.
2. where is the browsing history to be found? so far, nbo idea
3. http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/categories for example is a moderately long page where mouse scrolll is VERY slow, no idea why.
aha. history = alt-c. this sux. but works.
