Key Points:

  • Chrome’s Gemini shortcut, also known as Continuation, is available in an update released Tuesday.
  • Gemini shortcuts are quick keys that perform user activities like chatting, bookmarks, history, and search tabs.
  • Users should ensure they are using the latest version of Chrome (124 stable), and in most cases, they will need to restart their browser for the shortcut to work.

Finally in the update, Chrome has announced a Gemini shortcut in its desktop build address bar. So, when users type “@” as the first option in the address bar, they now have Gemini as the first option and not the cryptocurrency exchange. This is a 2022 feature that helps simplify browsing by providing quick access to various browser functions directly from the address bar which can be done by looking for bookmarks, history, or tabs.

Of course, it is necessary to underline that these add-ons do not correspond to the search bar of the New Tab page, and they only work on the desktop version of Chrome. The “Chat with Gemini” feature is made easy to use as it can be done either by clicking on it, using the up and down arrow keys or by typing “Gemini” and then pressing Space or the Tabbar to send and ask a question.

Could. Unlike the standard autosuggest list, users simply have to press the Enter button and they will be taken to gemini.google.com/prompt/ with their initial question already filled out but in a better way. Before this, another I/O port is also provided using USB or HDMI Rat Nest. The Mac, Windows and Chromecast roll-out is currently underway, so the development team’s response time is very limited.
