How to open a local file in Google Chrome
On OS X, you can choose "Open File" from the File menu, or use the ⌘ + O keyboard shortcut.
For Windows and Linux, you can use ctrl + O. This does not seem to be referenced anywhere in the application, so you can feel special about using it.
According to the Chrome Help Pages there are three ways to do this:
- Press Ctrl+O on your keyboard and browse for the file on your computer.
- Drag the file into Google Chrome from your computer desktop or folder. Your cursor displays a little '+' sign if the action is successful.
- Type the location, also known as the path, of the file in the address bar, then press Enter.
Hit Ctrl-o and a magical, undocumented dialog box will appear.
