[QUOTE="remain, post: 411282, member: 23182"] Control Option Command Eject (top right corner) Use your newfound powers wisely. ;p Command <-- = beginning of line Command --> = end of line Option <-- = previous word Option --> next word Hold Shift during any of the above to highlight whatever is "in between" for quick text selection. also: in [B]lists[/B] (such as in List View in the Finder or in iTunes): Option Up = top of the list Option Down = end of the list Hmm... well, it depends on what you want. Firefox + most compatible with sites (due to its popularity) + hundreds and hundreds of add-ons (more than any other browser): [url]http://addons.mozilla.org/[/url] - look and feel isn't very Mac OS X-like - a bit slow, because its code is non-native (that's what allows it to be cross-platform) Safari + fast browser + looks more like a Mac OS X app + add-ons (but not as many as Firefox of course): [url]http://pimpmysafari.com/[/url] - a little short on the features end - not as compatible with sites as Firefox Opera + a LOT of features - least compatible, even more than Safari (because at least Safari is the default browser of Mac OS X) But if you want something with Firefox's compatibility and Safari's Mac look-and-feel, give [URL="http://caminobrowser.org/"]Camino[/URL] a try. + as compatible as Firefox* (because it uses Gecko, the same rendering engine as Firefox) + Mac OS X look and feel + add-ons (but not as many as Firefox of course): [url]http://pimpmycamino.com/[/url] *might have to change the user agent to Firefox to fool sites into thinking it's "Firefox" [/QUOTE]
