I have always had my mouse Back and Forward buttons set to OPT+LeftArrow and OPT+RightArrow, as this worked well for Safari and Firefox, both of which I use regularly. When I loaded Sunrise, I found that this didn't work. With a little ****ering about, I found that OPT+[ did the BACK function and OPT+] did the Forward function. I tested these keystrokes in Safari and Firefox and they worked there too. Great, I made the change to my mouse's preference pane, and all was well. This AM, I was browsing through a folder hierarchy in Finder and quite by accident (force of habit from browser, actually, I hit the Back button, AND IT WORKED! Apparently OPT+[ takes Finder back one level, and OPT+] moves it forward to where it was last. WoW! I have always wanted to have Finder do BACK like a browser does. This is a simple thing, but I love it so much I thought I would pass it on. I hope it may improve YOUR Mac experience too!
