Leopard Tricks Tips and Tools

A neat little trick, that’s available if you don’t have the shortcuts for Spaces set to Command + <number> (I use alt + number, as that will leave the command option available to change views in the Finder window as well.

If you have favourites displayed on your bookmark bar in Safari, you can have quick access to those bookmarks by pressing Command + <1 - 9>. Safari will immediately open the window to the appropriate url. A neat little trick, that will save you from actually clicking the bookmark.

When browsing Safari, you can instantly scroll to the bottom (or top) of a page by holding down COMMAND and pressing the up or down key.  Useful if you are browsing a long page.

Additionally, you can scroll in long increments by holding down OPTION and pressing the up or down key.

If you are using Safari, and a webpage has an RSS feed, you can click on the little icon in the address bar, right before the URL, and drag it to the sidebar in Mail, under the RSS locations. Mail will capture the feed for you and do all the syncing.

Safari has a new feature, right next to the refresh button at the top is another button called “Open this page in Dashboard”. Simply go to website click ”Open this page in Dashboard” then select what you would like to view in Dashboard as a widget and voila! It’s a great new feature that is simple and elegant at creating those widgets you wish you always had!
