Quick tip: How to bring up favorite sites without the keyboard

[HeyCori]

I'm not a fan of the keyboard popping up when I want to select a website under metro IE10. Turns out there's a way to just pull up the sites and not the keyboard. Tap the address bar but don't let go. Instead quickly swipe up after tapping. You don't have to tap and hold. A quick tap immediately followed by swiping up works fine.

Appreciate the tip. Never really payed much attention to the keyboard popping up. But even better now that I don't have to!

I just noticed this last week to! It drove me crazy that the keyboard would keep popping up! Its a good tip that a lot are probably not aware.

Huh. Very similar to the desktop shortcut I found. I wonder what else this works on.
