It\u2019s time for a new Two Minute Tuesday, Main Sequence\u2019s series of short videos with tips, tricks, and tutorials to help make you a more powerful PCRecruiter user.<\/p>\n
While PCRecruiter will work in major modern browsers like Microsoft Edge and Apple Safari, the recommended browser and the one that Main Sequence\u2019s development team tests everything with first is Google Chrome. Since many of our users are working with Chrome for the first time, or aren\u2019t familiar with some of the handy shortcuts that can be used in it, we thought we\u2019d dedicate this week\u2019s edition to keyboard shortcuts and other tricks for Chrome that\u2019ll come in handy as you work in PCRecruiter.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll be referencing the Windows versions of all the shortcuts we mention in this video, but in most cases Mac users can swap \u2018control\u2019 for \u2018command\u2019 and use the same key combinations. Let\u2019s start with some basic keyboard shortcuts that you can use in just about any program.<\/p>\n
First off, if you\u2019re copying a document into the system you\u2019ll want to use: CTRL+A, to \u2018Select All\u2019 and \u2018CTRL+C\u2019 to \u2018Copy.\u2019 When you\u2019re ready to paste, you can use CTRL+V. One special trick unique to Chrome is to hold SHIFT along with CTRL+V, which will paste the plain text of your copied content, stripping all the formatting. This can be really useful when cleaning up a messy job description.<\/p>\n
When we\u2019re reviewing a long list such as a Rollup or Search Result, or a longer form or custom layout, we can use the Home and End keys on the keyboard to jump to the top or bottom. We can also use the Space bar to jump a short way downward, and Shift+Space to jump back up a bit. If the portion of the screen you\u2019re trying to affect isn\u2019t responding to the keyboard, you may need to click on the scroll bar or somewhere else within that frame to tell Chrome that\u2019s the one to focus on.<\/p>\n
Speaking of frames, sometimes you want to reload the upper or lower frame of PCRecruiter. Using the browser\u2019s main refresh icon or the F5 keyboard shortcut will reload the whole window and log you out. Instead, right-click inside of the panel you want to reload, and choose Reload Frame from the context menu.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s talk tricks for tabs. We\u2019re looking at a list of names and we want to compare a few records. Clicking an item loads it in the lower window, but by using the \u2018middle click\u2019 option on the mouse, usually by pressing down on the scroll-wheel if there is one, we can open the links in new tabs under the current one without leaving the window. If there\u2019s no middle click on the mouse, holding CTRL while left-clicking on a link results in the same behavior.<\/p>\n
The middle-click is also a handy when dealing with tabs. Middle-clicking on a tab, even if it\u2019s not the one in front, will close it. And if you accidentally close any tab, CTRL+Shift+T will always re-open the most recently closed tab. If you have a few tabs open, you may want to try CTRL + TAB or CTRL+SHIFT+TAB to flip back and forth through them, or CTRL + a number key to jump to tabs 1 through 8. Ctrl + 9 always goes to whichever tab is at the far right.<\/p>\n
Lastly, if you want to gain maximum screen space and really focus on the PCRecruiter window you\u2019re working in, you can use the F11 key to toggle in and out of Full-Screen mode.<\/p>\n

Once you get into the habit of using them, you\u2019ll find yourself navigating in PCRecruiter faster than ever.<\/p>\nFor all the latest on PCR, watch our blog posts on your login screen, follow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, join the PCRecruiter LinkedIn users group, and subscribe to this YouTube channel.
