Frequently Asked Questions

How do I open an InPrivate window in Microsoft Edge?
Press Cmd+Shift+N on Mac or Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows/Linux. This opens a new InPrivate browsing window where your browsing history, cookies, and site data are not saved after you close all InPrivate windows.
How do I access the Edge Sidebar and Copilot?
Press Cmd+Shift+E on Mac or Ctrl+Shift+E on Windows/Linux to toggle the Sidebar. To open Copilot directly in the Sidebar, press Cmd+Shift+Period on Mac or Ctrl+Shift+Period on Windows/Linux.
How do I use Web Capture to screenshot a page in Edge?
Press Cmd+Shift+S on Mac or Ctrl+Shift+S on Windows/Linux to open the Web Capture tool. This lets you capture a selected area or the full page as a screenshot, which you can then copy or save.
Are Edge keyboard shortcuts the same as Chrome shortcuts?
Most Edge keyboard shortcuts are identical to Chrome, since both browsers are built on Chromium. However, Edge has unique shortcuts for features like Collections (Ctrl+Shift+Y), the Sidebar (Ctrl+Shift+E), and Copilot (Ctrl+Shift+Period) that Chrome does not have.
How do I manage Collections in Edge with keyboard shortcuts?
Press Cmd+Shift+Y on Mac or Ctrl+Shift+Y on Windows/Linux to open the Collections pane. Collections let you gather and organize web content like links, images, and notes for research or projects.
