[QUOTE="bestofboth, post: 1015607, member: 147092"] Hi, I recently got a Mac at work and i'm considering buying a Mac for my next home computer because i like the fact that Macs generally seem to last way longer than PCs but first i'd like to know if there are any simple work-arounds for a few things that have really been bugging me (coming from years of PC use)... 1. Renaming files - everytime i click an icon and then click again on it's name in order to change it i end up inadvertently opening the file. It always takes me a few tries and i'm used to just being able to right click, rename. Is there a way to modify the right click menu for files so that there is a rename option? 2. Deleting files - in Windows i could do this just by highlighting the files and hitting delete on the keyboard. Is there an equally simple way of doing this on Mac? 3. Copying/moving files - when i drag a file from one directory to another, the Mac assumes i want to move it. In Windows I can click with the right mouse and drag, and i have the option of copying or moving. Is there a way of copying a file to a new location without first having to click on it and make a copy? 4. Jumbled icons - in icon view i don't like the way that the icons are able to overlap and jumble together unless i manually arrange them. I can't see what use overlapping files/applications would ever have - is there a way to set up my Mac so that icons always snap to grid? 5. Highlighting files - in Windows i can click on a file, then shift-click on another one to select all files in between. Is there an equivalent shortcut for doing this on a Mac? Thanks for your help guys! [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
