Jump to the Top of a Webpage at the Press of a Button on a Mac

One of the features I like best about my iPhone and iPad is that, if I want to jump to the top of a web page, I can just tap on the top of the browser window, and like magic, I’m transported back to the beginning of the web page. This is really useful when you’ve scrolled down a long page and you want to quickly get back to the beginning.

I’ve always thought that this very handy function was a unique advantage iPhone and iPad had over my Mac laptop. I was wrong.

Turns out that the Mac has the same power. Here’s how to make the magic happen:

Hold down the function key (that’s the one in the lower left hand corner marked “fn”) and then press the arrow key pointing to the left. 

And that’s it! With this discovery, I can jump around a web page like a ninja—and now, so can you.

BONUS TIP:

If you want to jump to the bottom of a web page, the Mac can do this, too. Just hold down the function key and press the arrow key pointing to the right. That’s it. Super easy and very useful and something the iPhone and iPad can’t do.

Happy browsing!
