How to select all friends quickly to suggest a page or invite to an event

 To select the friends one after another quickly just use the keyboard and press the Tab key (the one with the two horizontal arrows in the opposite direction) and space.

The TAB key serves to select the elements on a page and the Space key is used to confirm the selection and put the check in the box.
In our case, when you open the window to suggest a page to friends or invite friends to an event, simply press the TAB key and then the Space key, it selects the first friend, pressing it again will switch the selection of TAB second friend and pressing SPACE will select that too … And so on.
Just press TAB and SPACE repeatedly to quickly select all of the friends list!
For those who may not know which keys we’re referring to, here they are highlighted on the image below.

Thanks to our fan Alex for this simple but useful trick!
