[QUOTE="MacAddikt, post: 18312, member: 27"] what alt commands available on PC arent for Mac OS X? I'm assuming you're running 10.3 (panther). Under System Preferences >> Keyboard & Mouse, you will see many of the keyboard commands. If you look in the menus, you will see many more keyboard commands, and if you read [url=http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1651]this thread on shorcuts[/url] you should be able to find a keyboard shorcut for just about everything. 1. IE on Mac sucks. Microsoft has even announced it will no longer upgrade IE on the Mac platform. I'm not sure why Apple even packages it with the OS. There are many other browsers besides the ones you mentioned. Most Mac users prefer to use Safari or one of the [url=http://www.mozilla.org/products/]mozilla browsers[/url] 2. Hitting enter on a site depends on the way the site is designed. I won't get into the details of the form, but it depends on how the site is written for you to hit enter from a certain field. 3. Tabbing through pull down menus, Submit, etc. We would all love to see that, but it is not in any browser (that I know of). Its a supposed feature of the next Safari release, which is rumored to be out sometime in the next month or 2. 4. I hate how IE would open the same page in a new window. It just never made sense. Very few people need the exact same page open in a new window. You already have the page open, why would you need it again? I personally am a huge fan of Tabbed browsing. You could make a link for it in the Safari bookmark bar, then using the keyboard command (pressing command and clicking on the link 6 times), you could open the same page in 6 different tabs, all within the same window. The main differences between windows and mac browsers are mostly due to the difference between the OS. I've used mozilla firebird on mac and pc, and while very similar in the look and feel, they operate different in many ways. [/QUOTE]
