How To Use Keyboard Shortcuts on DuckDuckGo Search

You can use keyboard shortcuts to navigate DuckDuckGo search results instead of using a mouse or trackpad.

Move Around

• ↓ or j goes to the next search result.
• ↑ or k goes to the previous search result.
• / or h goes to the search box.
• t goes to the top.
• m goes to the main results.

Open Results

• Enter or l or o opens the highlighted result.
• Ctrl/Cmd + Enter or ' or v opens the highlighted result in a new window/tab in the background. This uses JavaScript, so you need to turn off pop-up blockers first.
• d does a domain search for the highlighted result.

You can always turn keyboard shortcuts off in Search Settings.
