Amazon’s Quick-Tag Shortcut
Amazon has had tags on their product page for a while. And I’m not sure how long this feature has been in it, but it’s new to me.
It’s a keyboard shortcut for entering tags — whenever you are on a product detail page like this one, you can hit “t” on your keyboard twice to pop open a layer that allows you to enter tags.
It’s like a double-click, except it’s with the keyboard. A very short learning curve, although I had no idea such a shorcut existed to begin with. Once I learned about it, it was easy to remember and use. It was much easier than scrolling down to the tag field on the page. I almost never use their tags, but today I happened to be making a list of books for a presentation that I wanted to share with someone, and giving them a tag to search with was the first thing I thought of, so this feature was useful for going around and tagging a bunch of books pretty quickly.
