“#How to Clear Safari Browsing Data with a Keyboard Shortcut”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\"Apple<\/p>\n

If you use Safari on Mac and would like to quickly clear your browser history without digging through menus, you can take care of it with a keyboard shortcut and a click by creating a custom shortcut in System Preferences. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n

First, we\u2019ll need to visit \u201cSystem Preferences\u201d to create the custom keyboard shortcut. On your Mac, click the \u201cApp<\/a>le\u201d icon in the upper-left corner and select \u201cSystem Preferences.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

In \u201cSystem Preferences,\u201d select \u201cKeyboard.\u201d In \u201cKeyboard\u201d preferences, click the \u201cShortcuts\u201d tab.<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

In the sidebar menu, click \u201cApp Shortcuts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

Click the plus sign (+) located near the bottom of the window to add a new shortcut.<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

A pop-up window will appear. First, click the drop-down menu labeled \u201cApplication\u201d and select \u201cSafari.app.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"In<\/p>\n

In the \u201cMenu Title\u201d text box, enter \u201cClear History...<\/code>\u201d exactly. It must include the three dots at the end, as it must match the existing menu command in Safari under the \u201cHistory\u201d menu.<\/p>\n

Next, select the \u201cKeyboard Shortcut\u201d box and type the shortcut you want to use to clear Safari\u2019s browser history. We chose Shift+Command+H, but you can enter any unused keyboard combination.<\/p>\n

\"In<\/p>\n

Then click the \u201cAdd\u201d button, and the shortcut will be added to the list. You\u2019re now clear to close System Preferences (unless you want to tweak the keyboard shortcut key combination after testing it out.)<\/p>\n

Open \u201cSafari\u201d and press the keyboard shortcut you just defined. A small pop-over window will appear with a drop-down menu and two buttons. In the \u201cClear\u201d menu, you can choose how much of your history is cleared. When you\u2019re ready, click the \u201cClear History\u201d button.<\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n

Your Safari browsing history will be cleared to whatever level you selected. Safari will remember the setting you chose in the \u201cClear\u201d menu, so next time you call up the window with your custom shortcut, you can just click the \u201cClear History\u201d button.<\/p>\n

If you find yourself frequently clearing your browser history, consider trying Safari\u2019s Private Browsing mode, which is a special mode that doesn\u2019t keep track of your browsing history. You can even configure Safari to start with a Private window every time you open the app.<\/p>\n
