In the present Internet browsers key short-cuts Alt+Shift+N operate within the MS Windows, Linux and BSD operating systems. With other operating systems and different browsers, the use of key short-cuts can vary a little (e.g. it will be Ctrl+N under the operating system Mac OS).
Some additional notes:

  • For the MS Internet Explorer browser under the Windows operating system, it is required to push the Enter key after typing in the key short-cut.
  • Do not use the number keys from the “NumPad” keyboard; use the keys on the keyboard located over the alphabet keyboard instead.
  • Remember that for your own comfort the keyboard can be switched into the “StickyKeys” regime, under which the simultaneous pressing of the keys can be replaced by their being pressed consecutively. The instructions for switching into this regime can be found in your operating system help.
