nice IE 7 shortcuts

Although there are dozen of web browsers out there, but Internet Explorer is still my cup of tea.
Here I have captured some very useful IE 7 shortcuts.

Tabs:

Open links in a new tab in the background : Ctrl+Click

Open links in a new tab in the foreground : Ctrl+Shift+Click

Switch between tabs : Ctrl+Tab / Ctrl+Shift+Tab

Open a new tab in the foreground from the address bar : Alt+Enter

Close other tabs : Ctrl+Alt+F4

Open quick tabs : Ctrl+Q

Zoom:
Increase/Decrease zoom (+- 10%) : Ctrl+(+) /(-)

Original size (100% zoom)* : Ctrl+0

* If you are using the recent Windows Vista preview you might notice that the 100% zoom hotkey changed from Ctrl+(*) to Ctrl+0

Search:
Go to the Toolbar Search Box : Ctrl+E

Open your search query in a new tab : Alt+Enter

Bring down the search provider menu : Ctrl+Down Arrow

Great new mouse actions in IE7

Open a link in a background tab : Middle mouse button

Close a tab : Middle mouse button on the tab

Zoom the page in/out 10% : Ctrl+Mouse wheel Up/Down

Tip:
My favorite shortcuts are the middle mouse button actions to close a tab and open links in the background (Those make using tabs fast and easy).
