Current web browsers now keep track of recently downloaded files, and allow those files to be opened from a list. While these browsers have methods for showing this list by going through menus, these menus can be customized or hidden, so this note only shows keyboard combinations.

A few notes on the keyboard combinations listed for each browser:

• Anything inside a set of <> is the key that needs to be pressed.
• The + means that the keys need to be pressed at the same time.
• The letter keys are capitalized in the following examples; this is not necessary when performing these steps on your computer.
• The Apple key on a Mac keyboard will have a small apple and/or a four leaf clover design on it

ON WINDOWS:

• Microsoft Edge - <Ctrl>+<J>
• Mozilla Firefox  - < Ctrl > + < J >
• Google Chrome - < Ctrl > + < J >

ON MACINTOSH:

• Safari - < Alt > + < Apple > + < L >
• Mozilla Firefox - < Ctrl > + < J >

 ON iPad or iPhone:

• 
• If you do not see the downloaded files button, exit Safari, then look for and open the Files app on your iPhone or iPad.
