Hi, on my PC I could hit ctl+enter while I was online and it would enter .com automatically. Is there anything I can press her? I keep entering command+enter out of habit.

:) Thanks!

Exactly what I was thinking. Your update was on the spot. To get your ex back is not the easiest of the jobs But it for sure can take some effort

Option + Up = page up

Option + Down = page down

Option + Left = beginning of word/next word

Option + Right = end of word/next word

Control + Up = home

Control + Down = end

Control + Left = begining of line

Control + Right = end of line

One of my favorites is while command tabbing, you can continue holding command and press ‘q’ to quit a running application. Handy for quitting applications without opening them.

well isn’t it inane and moronic that you can use home/end shortcuts in text/safari etc – but not in finder? what about accessibility fhs?!

Hi! does anybody know how to enter a space in a cell (excel). In an ordinary PC you can do this by pressing ALT + ENTER..what about in Mac?

thanks!

Another thing about using spotlight to reach for example Spaces Preferences: It is possible to type several words in spotlight. It is also possible to type only the start of several words. So to reach Spaces Preferences from Spotlight, make use of the fact that they are actually called Exposé & Spaces Preferences. So just type ´ex sp´, and Exposé and Spaces Preferences should be presented as Top Hit. Press Enter.

Hi,

Shortcut to reach System Preferences..

I don´t know any keyboard shortcut, but I use Spotlight as much as possible. Cmd-Space to open Spotlight, then start typing ´system preferneces´ until it shows up as Top Hit. Press Enter.

If you want System Preferences to be presented as early as possible as Top Hit, open Spotlight Preferences and drag Applications to the top.

Works as well as any keyboard shortcut for me..

to bob “Is there a shortcut to open up the System Preferences?”

you can use alt + vol UP or vol DOWN to acces the “sound” preference pane, and the hit show all to access all system preferences

cheers
