For many mousing tasks I prefer the Trackpad or a cheap, two-button mouse.
|
|
<br>
|
|
However, the magic mouse really is 'insanely great' for one thing: <b>scrolling</b>.
|
|
<br>
|
|
Placed between keyboard and trackpad, it becomes <b>an extension of the Trackpad</b>:
|
|
|
|
<div align="center">
|
|
<img src="magic.mouse.1.jpg"border="0">
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That way, you can <b>swap</b> between the two without moving your arm. Leave some space on the table for your arm/wrist to rest on.
|
|
<div align="center">
|
|
<img src="magic.mouse.2.jpg"border="0">
|
|
<br>
|
|
<img src="magic.mouse.3.jpg"border="0">
|
|
</div>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
If your fingers are greasy from munching potato chips or a buttered muffin, you can still scroll using your (hopefully clean) little pinky:
|
|
<div align="center">
|
|
<img src="magic.mouse.4.jpg"border="0">
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
The best way to use the Magic Mouse:
|
|
take it off the table and hold it in either hand, like a TV remote.
|
|
<br>
|
|
You can use just one hand and 'move the screen' with your thumb.
|
|
|
|
<div align="center">
|
|
<img src="magic.mouse.5.jpg"border="0">
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
Or hold it with one hand and scroll with the other.
|
|
|
|
<div align="center">
|
|
<img src="magic.mouse.6.jpg"border="0">
|
|
<br>
|
|
<img src="magic.mouse.7.jpg"border="0">
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Or hold it with both hands, using both thumbs.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<li> Find out how many 'screens' you can make a Safari window 'shoot up' with one swipe! With some practice a long webpage whizzes up dozens of screen-lengths.
|
|
|
|
(Count how many by going back with <b>Fn Arrow_up</b> or <b>Shift Space</b>. (or the 'page up' key on a large keyboard).
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can even put your feet up and the mouse on your tummy, stroking it like a pet hamster (or mouse).
|
|
|

What I use the <b><span style="color: #FF0000;">Magic Mouse</span></b> for:
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Scrolling (<b>one finger swipe</b> in any direction)<br>
|
|
<li>Going back and forth between webpages (<b>one finger swipe sideways</b>)<br>
|
|
<li>Zooming (<b>double tap</b>) (for pictures or PDFs. For webpages, it can be better to type <b>command =</b>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
The double-tap can be <b>added</b> for even more zoom.)<br>
|
|
|
|
<li>Clicking on <b>small things</b> like small icons or at precise points in a text.
|
|
<li><b>Click-selecting several</b> individual files that are not next to each other. (If they are next to each other the keyboard or the trackpad are quicker).
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
If there's a <b>lot of clicking</b> required, or <b>image-processing</b> (etc) to be done, I use a cheap, wired, two-button mouse (always connected) <b>in combination</b> with the Magic Mouse.
|
|
Yes, using <b>two mouses side-by-side</b> looks silly, but the scrolling really is that much better on the Magic Mouse. (And yes, the plural of mouse is mice, but mouses is also correct.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
What I use the <b><span style="color: #FF0000;">Trackpad</span></b> for:
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li> moving the cursor (<b>1 finger</b>) (change the settings to fast or the trackpad will seem too small.)</li>
|
|
<li> clicking (<b>1 finger tap</b>) (very light tap, but for repeated clicking any mouse is better.)<br>
|
|
<li> right-clicking (<b>2 finger tap</b> meaning one tap with two fingers). <br>
|
|
<li> zooming (<b>2 finger spread/pinch</b> or: <b> 2 finger double tap</b>)<br>
|
|
|
|
<li> looking up words (<b>3 finger tap</b> on the word. No slang, no foreign words, fiddly to scroll, but useful.)<br>
|
|
|
|
<li> clear (reveal) desktop with a <b>four finger spread</b> (this is probably faster with the keyboard).
|
|
<li> Exposé - <b>four finger swipe up</b> - Surprisingly intuitive. Just plonk your hand on the pad.<br>
|
|
<li> Switching between 'Spaces' - <b>four finger swipe sideways</b>
|
|
The keyboard shortcuts (control 1, control 2 etc) can be faster.
|
|
When your hand is on the <b>mouse</b>, you could use that (two finger swipe sideways).
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
<li> Short scrolls (<b>two fingers</b>) are at least as good as on the Magic Mouse, long or repeat scrolls not so much. Can be mistaken for a 2 finger tap, resulting in pop up menus. <br>
|
|
<li> App Exposé <b>four fingers swipe down</b> same as Control arrow_down (see <a href="shortcuts.html#switching"><span style="color: #0066CC;">'Switching between windows'</span></a>)
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<li> Cut & Paste: <b>3 finger drag</b> and <b>drop</b> - moves item(s) from one folder to another within the same drive<br>
|
|
<b>3 finger drag - press command - drop</b> - moves item(s) from one folder to another on a <b>different </b>drive (the green 'plus' near the cursor disappears when you press command)<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<li> <b>Selecting text</b>:
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<b>1st method</b>
|
|
Move the cursor with one finger to the start of your selection, place <b>three fingers on the corner</b> of the trackpad and move to the end of your selection.
|
|
You can start with three fingers and finish using only one finger.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<b>2nd method </b>
|
|
Move cursor to beginning of selection, do a <b>one and a half tap on the corner</b> (that means, tap twice, but leave finger on the trackpad after the second tap) Move that finger to select.
|
|
|
|
If you reach the <b>edge</b> of the trackpad, but want to select more, do a little '<b>finger moonwalk</b>' - while the first finger remains on the edge of the trackpad, place another further away from the edge, lift the first, and continue. This has to be done quickly.
|
|
If that's too much hassle, use the Shift key: if your selection isn't complete, lift finger from trackpad, <b>press Shift</b>, move cursor to where you wanted the selection to end, and tap once.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<b>3rd method</b>
|
|
Tap at beginning of selection (on a webpage double-tap one word), <b>press Shift</b> and select the text with <b>Arrow_down</b> (for the lines) and <b>Arrow_left</b> (for words/letters). This is also handy if you missed just a few words or letters with methods 1 or 2.<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<b>4th method</b>
|
|
Use <span style="color: #FF0000;"><b>trackpad and Magic Mouse simultaneously</b></span>. Good for large selections. Start selecting with three fingers, then use your thumb on the mouse to move the text up or down.
|
|
Or take the mouse off the table and scroll with your left hand while selecting with your right.
|
|
<br>

|
Before using mouse or trackpad, get them to work properly. This means <b>changing the settings</b>.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
The Mouse/Trackpad settings are in <b>three places</b> inside the System Preferences.<br>
|
|
|
|
Here's how to do this with shortcuts:
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
1. <b>Option F2</b> or Option F12 (depending on which hand you use) opens System Preferences<br>
|
|
2. <b>Command L</b> ('Show All') (or type '<b>mo</b>', <b>arrow_down</b>, <b>Return</b> - in which case you can skip step 3)<br>
|
|
3. Click on the <b>Mouse Icon</b> <br>
|
|
4. Set '<b>Tracking</b>' to <b>Fast</b> (all the way to the right). <br>
|
|
|
|
5. Click on (enable) all little boxes (6 of them). Some just replicate trackpad gestures, but don't do any harm.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
6. Again, <b>Command L</b> (or type 'Command A', 'tr', arrow_down and Return)<br>
|
|
7. Click on the <b>Trackpad Icon</b> <br>
|
|
8. Set '<b>Tracking Speed</b>' to <b>Fast</b><br>
|
|
9. Tick all 15 boxes, especially: <b>tap to click</b> (This does not disable clicking with the trackpad.) <br>
|
|
|
|
10. <b>Command L </b>(or type 'Command A', 'ac', arrow_down, Return)<br>
|
|
11. Click on the <b>Accessibility Icon</b> <br>
|
|
12. Set '<b>Double Click Speed</b>' to one or two notches below fast. (Tapping is faster than clicking a mouse.)<br>
|
|
13. Click on <b>Trackpad Options</b>. <br>
|
|
14. Set <b>Scrolling Speed</b> to '<b>Fast</b>'<br>
|
|
15. Click on (enable) <b>Scrolling with inertia</b> (I think that's default anyway)<br>
|
|
16. Click on (enable) <b>Dragging 'without Drag Lock'</b> (It slows the responsiveness of the trackpad)<br>
|
|
17. Type Return (or click 'Done')<br>
|
|
18. Click on <b>Mouse Options</b>.<br>
|
|
19. Set <b>Scrolling Speed</b> to '<b>Fast</b>'<br>
|
|
20. Click (enable) <b>Scrolling with inertia</b><br>
|
|
21. Type Return (or click 'Done')
|
|
|

|
|
The <b>`</b> key is the one that also has ˜ (Tilde) on it.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|

|
As above, if you miss the window you wanted by typing too quickly, use <span style="color: #FF0000;"><b>shift command ` </b></span> to go back.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
On the <span style="color: #FF0000;"><b>German Keyboard</b></span>, which hasn't got a Tilde key, it's the key in the same position, the one next to the left shift key. If you still use a really old OS on a German computer, you would have to assign this shortcut:
|
|
|
|
(Apple menu / System Prefs / Keyboard / Shortcuts / Keyboard . Look for 'Move focus to next window', click on the shortcut (command <b>`</b>) and replace it with another.
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
There's <b>another </b> shortcut in that section called 'Move focus to active or next window'.
|
|
You might as well enable that, it means you can do this:<br>
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;"><b>Fn Control F4 </b> - <b>move focus to next window</b></span> (<b>Any</b> window of <b>any</b> application.)<br>
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;"><b>Fn Shift Control F4 </b> - <b>move focus to previous window</b></span> (the same in reverse).
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<b>Command <b>`</b></b> doesn't work in full screen mode. Try to avoid full screen mode.
|
|
See
|
|
<a href="shortcuts.html#control.option.command"><span style="color: #0066CC;">Control Option Command section</span></a>

for a shortcut to enlarge windows (a shortcut for the green button).

<div align="center"><b>Switching between Windows with Application Exposé</b></div>

<br>

When you have a great many windows or folders open, and finding the right one would need a lot of <b>command `</b> switching, you could use App Exposé instead.
|
|
|
|
App Exposé displays all open windows of <b>one</b> application (like all Safari windows, or all folders etc, including those sitting in other 'Spaces'). <br>
|
|
<br>

TAB<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
You can use tab to move through windows and dialog boxes.
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to do this.
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
There's <b>'Text boxes and lists only'.</b> And there's <b>'All controls</b>' (select which you prefer: System Prefs / Keyboard / Shortcuts)
|
|
<br>
|
|
Both have distinct advantages. Shortcut to toggle between the two settings: <b>control F7</b> (<span style="color: #FF0000;"> <b>Fn control F7</b></span>).
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
Example A (setting on '<b>All Controls</b>')<br>
|
|
Create a <span style="color: #FF0000;"><b>low resolution detail from a photo for your blog</span></b> <br>
|
|
<b>Select</b> the photo<br>
|
|
<b>command O</b> (it opens in Preview)<br>
|
|
Use mouse or trackpad to <b>make a selection</b> (drag a rectangle)<br>
|
|
<b>command C</b> (copies selection to clipboard)<br>
|
|
<b>command N</b> (your selection opens as a new Preview window)<br>
|
|
<b>command S</b> (opens Save dialog box)<br>
|
|
The focus will be on the <b>name box</b>, with the default name<b>'untitled.png'</b> selected. <br>
|
|
Type a new name (or just type '<b>1</b>' (2, 3 etc), if there are more to come - you can rename them later with Automator). <br>
|
|
Don't change the .png in the name box. Instead type <b>'tab' four times</b>, which puts the focus on '<b>Format</b>'. <br>
|
|
Then press '<b>Arrow_up</b>' until the focus lands on '<b>JPEG</b>'. <br>
|
|
<b>Return</b>. <br>
|
|
<b>tab</b> again. The focus lands on the <b>'Quality' slide</b>. <br>
|
|
Press <b>'Arrow_left'</b> to move the slide to a lower quality setting. You can see a tiny 'File size' indicator further down which tells you how large/small the file will be. <br>
|
|
When you're happy with the new KB size, type <b>Return</b> (saved). <br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Example B (setting on '<b>Text boxes and lists only</b>')<br>
|
|
Use '<span style="color: #FF0000;"><b>Automator</b>' to <b>change the names of your photos</b></span><br>
|
|
Open Automator (command space - type 'au' - Return) <br>
|
|
The focus is on 'Workflow', type Return <br>
|
|
Type 'RENA' (the choice 'Rename Finder Items: Replace Text' remains)<br>
|
|
Type Return twice.<br>
|
|
Choose Add or Don't Add.<br>
|
|
Click on 'Add Date or Time'<br>
|
|
4 x Arrow Down<br>
|
|
Type Return (to choose 'Replace Text')<br>
|
|
Click in the 'Find' box, write the first letters of your photo names (DSCO or whatever)<br>
|
|
Tab <br>
|
|
write the date (year, month, day: 141105 or 1411.05_ ) and maybe some description ( picknick.rain_ )<br>
|
|
Drag the photos you want to change above the Rename box (a new box opens for them)<br>

You select the files, duplicate them (command D) which puts each duplicate underneath/next to its original. The originals are no longer selected, the duplicates are. If you tag the duplicates with a colour (carefully right-click/two finger tap one and choose the colour for all) you can then have these duplicates arranged together at the top of the folder with <b>control command 7</b>. Or, you could add 'Tags' to the columns in List view (Command J to 'Show View Options', tick the Tags box, maybe even make that default). Then click the top of the Tags column.

<b>Save</b>
|

<br>
|
|

You don't need to save all the time, it's done automatically. That means if you make additional changes, then change your mind, you can't just close the document without saving - you need to 'undo' whatever you did. If you leave a document open, then <b>inadvertently type in it</b> and don't know where or what, you can't just close it to get back to the original.
|
|
|
|

|
|
<br>
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">command S - save</span> <br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
If you don't want to keep a new TextEdit page, type <b>command W</b>, which brings up a Save dialog box:
|
|
<br>
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">command Delete - Don't Save</span> (in a Save dialog box) (since OS X Lion)<br>
|
|
command D - Don't Save (in a Save dialog box) (for <b>older</b> programmes)
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">shift command S - creates a <b>copy</b></span> (similar to Duplicate - command D) . You need to <b>save</b> this new copy (with 'return') - (this shortcut used to mean 'save as')
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
shift option command S - 'save as'
|
|

Method to preserve a TextEdit document:
|
|
|
|
<b>shift command S</b> (makes a duplicate),
|
|
<b>command W</b> (brings up dialog box),
|
|
click next to <b>File Format</b> - choose '<b>Web Page (.html)</b>' (or Webarchive),
|
|
<b>Return</b> -
|
|
(This creates a webpage of your document. 'Command O' will open it in Safari.)
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<hr>
|
|
|
|
<b>Find</b>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">command F - Find</span> <br>
|
|
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">option command F - Find & Replace </span>
|
|
(focus will be on <b>Replace</b>, after you have typed that,
|
|
<b>move up to Find</b> with: <span style="color: #FF0000;">shift tab</span>).<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
Click the <b>'All'</b> button at the top right, to replace all found 'occurrences'.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<b>command G </b> - <b>find next occurrence</b> (of the thing you're searching for) <br>
|
|
|
|
shift command G - reverse
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Before using command G, you could type <span style="color: #FF0000;">tab</span> (or click in text) which moves the <b>focus on the text</b>, and removes the grey; it also changes the way 'command G' displays the findings, the yellow highlight will dissolve after a second, leaving a less garish blue.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">return</span> - <b>find next occurrence</b> (only works on the greyed out text)
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
option command G - replace the first found with your replacement, and move on to the next. (bit complicated)<br>
|
|
shift option command G - reverse<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">Escape</span> (or click on 'done') - <span style="color: #FF0000;">removes 'Find' or 'Find/Replace' fields</span><br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Finding the cursor:<br>
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">command J - center selected text or the <b>cursor</b> in window </span>(moves text up or down so the selection or cursor will be in the middle)<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
If you type within a large text, want to look up something elsewhere on the page, and then try to find the spot where you've been typing last:<br>
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">undo</span> (command Z) followed by <span style="color: #FF0000;">redo</span> (shift command Z) will take you back (Maybe don't do this if the last thing you wrote is some brilliant idea or formula you can't quite remember).
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
When you read a long text, and need to look at something at the beginning or end, and then want to go back where you were, first copy a word/phrase (preferably a slightly rarified word, like rarified or slightly or preferably) from where you stopped reading, and then search for it (command F) to get back.

<b>Fonts</b>

<br>
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">option shift command V - Apply the style of the surrounding text to the inserted object</span> (Paste and Match Style)<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">command T - open/close Fonts box</span> (to change the font, size, typeface (bold, italic..) or the background colour<br>
|
|
|
|
<b>Enlarge font</b>:<span style="color: #FF0000;"> select text</span>, type a <span style="color: #FF0000;">number</span> into the Size field, <span style="color: #FF0000;">Return</span>.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">Enlarging fonts <b>in proportion:</b></span> Select all of the text (<span style="color: #FF0000;">command A</span>) but instead of just typing a number (which would destroy the size differences), type <span style="color: #FF0000;"><b>*2</b></span> . This will double the size of each individual letter. You can choose any multiplicator, <b>*2.5</b> or <b>*4</b> etc or <b>/2</b> for halving the size.
|
|
<br><br>
|
|
|
|
Easier way to enlarge in proportion: <span style="color: #FF0000;">command A</span> and<span style="color: #FF0000;"> Command =</span> (a few times).
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
If you want to change the text to a<b> particular font,</b> you can type its name in the <b>search field underneath the fonts column</b>. Much quicker than scrolling the long list.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">Colour the background</span> of TextEdit page: <b>command T</b>, click on the <b>little white box</b> on the top right, <b>click on colour wheel</b> (maybe near the middle, to get a pastel colour, or it'll be too dark to read on, unless you turn the letters a lighter colour).
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">shift command C - open/close Colour box (or palette)</span> Select some text, click on the colour wheel (or the 'crayon' selection). Get darker tones with the slide on the right. To get the same colour as a previous word, click on that previous word and the colour box will adopt it. <br>
|
|
The 'crayon' selection is easier for always finding the same colour. You can add to the crayon palette in the little boxes below: Click the magnifying glass, click any bit of colour on your screen (on a photo for instance) and that colour will appear in the colour field at the top. Drag the colour from the colour field to a little box below.<br>
|
|
|
|
Trackpad clicking: using 'Tap for click' on the trackpad is usually faster. But when selecting a bit of text and then tapping the Trackpad to choose a colour, it sometimes is a bit slow to react. I prefer selecting the text bits with the Trackpad, so can't use the two-button mouse for colour-clicking. Instead I often double tap the colour palette (two quick taps with one finger).

<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">shift command T - Plain Text </span> changes a 'Rich Text' document into a 'simple' text document. (and vice versa, except when you change it back, the formatting will be in your default font/size, and the pictures will be gone) If you made a mistake and want the formatting back, use 'command z'.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Example: <b>copy a link from a webpage into a 'rich text' TextEdit page.</b><br>
|
|
(If you just paste it in, it doesn't spell out the link address, it creates another clickable link. )
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
1. two-finger tap (= right click) on webpage link<br>
|
|
2. type C (to select 'Copy Link' from the pop-up menu)<br>
|
|
3. Return<br>
|
|
4. command tab (to switch to TextEdit)<br>
|
|
5. command N (new TextEdit page)<br>
|
|
6. shift command T (makes it plain text)<br>
|
|
7. command V <br>
|
|
8. command A<br>

9. command C<br>

11. command V<br>

Moving the cursor to the end of the text: <span style="color: #FF0000;">arrow_down. </span> That's it. You just <b>hold down this one key</b> and the cursor moves down and then to the right.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Try using the following <b>instead</b> of Home and End. (It's quicker, because these arrow shortcuts all 'belong together'. You'll be using them them without thinking.)
|

<br>

<span style="color: #FF0000;">shift command arrow_left - selects the <b>line</b> left of cursor </span>(shift control arrow_left - does the same)<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">shift arrow_up - selects <b>line</b> above</span> ('to the nearest character boundary at the same horizontal location')
|
|
(also very useful in <b>file names, where it selects all preceding letters</b>)<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">shift arrow_down - selects next <b>line</b> </span>(this is the <b>fastest way to select short sections of text!</b>)
|
|
(in file names it selects following letters, but may cut extensions - better use shift arrow_right)<br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">shift option arrow_down - select following <b>paragraph</b> </span>(type arrow_down again for next paragraph) <br>
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">shift option arrow_up - select preceding <b>paragraph</b> <br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
shift command arrow_down - selects <b>all</b> of the following text <br>
|
|
shift command arrow_up - selects <b>all</b> preceding text </span><br>
|
|
|
|
<br>
|

|
shift fn arrow_up - selects 'one screen' of text above cursor <br>
|
|
shift fn arrow_down - selects 'one screen' of text below cursor<br>

<br>
|
|
discontinuous (or noncontinuous) text selection:<br>
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">option command drag - select <b>separate bits </b>of text</span> (you need to keep option command pressed until all is selected) <br><br>
|
|
|
|
rectangular text selection:<br>
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">option drag a rectangular shape of the text - selects that bit of text</span> (for instance, the first word in each line, to turn them all red or something)
|
|
|
|
Especially good for tab-separated files. You can drag-select <b>more</b> 'rectangular' bits of text by holding: <span style="color: #FF0000;">option command</span> (as often as you like).
|
|
You could maybe use this to 'paint' a monospaced block of text in different colours.

Selecting longer Text:
|
|
<br>
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">
|
|
1. click at beginning 2. hold shift 3. click further up/down - selects text </span>between the two points<br>
|
|
(Variation of that for <b>webpages</b>: )<br>
|
|
1. select the first word, or just the<span style="color: #FF0000;"> first letters of the first word</span> 2. <span style="color: #FF0000;">scroll down </span>(avoid clicking the page) 3. <span style="color: #FF0000;">hold shift and click after the end of text.</span>

|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">command L, type number in the popup box, and hit return</span>. <br>
|

control B - move one character backward (remember: B - back)<br>
|
|
|
|
control D - delete character in front of cursor (remember: D - delete) <br>
|
|
|
|
control E - move to end of line/paragraph (remember: E - end)<br>
|
|
|
|
control F - move one character forward (remember: F - Forward)<br>
|
|
control H - delete character behind cursor <br>
|
|
control K - delete from in front of cursor till the end of line/paragraph (remember: K - kills rest of line) <br>
|
|
|
|
control L - (same as command J) center selected text (or the cursor) in the window (moves text up or down) <br>
|
|
|
|
control N - move down one line (remember: N - next) (same as arrow_down)<br>
|
|
control O - insert new line (like 'Return') but <b>after</b> the cursor. (For breaking a paragraph into 2)<br>
|
|
control P - move up one line (remember: P - previous) (same a arrow_up) <br>
|
|
control T - move cursor together with the letter on its left one letter to the right <br>
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">control T - Character swap </span>(turn 'waetr' into 'water' by placing cursor between e and t)
|
|
(this moves the cursor and the letter that's on its left both one character to the right) (remember: T - transpose letter)<br>
|
|
|
|
control V - move cursor down one page<br>

By the way, I use the <b>Dvorak keyboard</b>. This isn't for people from Dvorakistan, but an English variation of the Qwerty layout, only much more <b>ergonomic</b>. Try it: system prefs - keyboard - input sources - click 'plus' at bottom left - scroll down list on the right - click Dvorak - Click blue Add button. You should now have a tiny flag in the menu bar. That's the keyboard menu. Click that, click Dvorak. Click keyboard menu again, click 'Show Keyboard Viewer'. Up pops a tiny keyboard picture which shows you <b>what the hell</b> has happened to your letter keys! Leave it onscreen if you like. (close it with red close button). The Dvorak keyboard is not only more soothing to your joints, it also <b>forces</b> you to learn to touch type!

or: <br>

<span style="color: #FF0000;">type a French, German etc word with English letters. Bring up Dictionary (Mouse over, control command D)</span> (or right-click, select 'look up') and you'll get the French (etc) dictionary (your Mac will detect a foreign word!). Select and copy the word you want. (If the word is the same in English, you'll get the English dictionary. So, if you can't remember if it's 'la police' or 'le police', you're out of luck.

A similar multi-dictionary approach does <b>not</b> work with the escape trick. When you type: franca and press escape, it <b>doesn't</b> proffer français. (not yet). Actually that wouldn't work anyway, you would have to press some command key for searching in a particular language.<br>

With practice these weird combinations are quicker than selecting the pop-up variations, especially if you touch type. To quickly see where the five 'enabling' keys are, open the Keyboard Viewer (as explained above: keyboard menu (top right) - 'Show Keyboard Viewer'. Hold option and the five 'enabling' keys turn orange.

Before you can look at any pictures in Preview, you need to <b>select</b> them.
|
|
<br>
|
|
When a folder only contains a few dozen picures and <b>no other type of files</b>, use <b>command A</b> (select all) <b>command O</b> (opens any picture in Preview by default).
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
You can view pictures one by one with <b>QuickLook</b>.
|
|
<br>
|
|
First change the folder view to <b>List view</b> (<b>command 2</b>). (Using Quicklook in Icon view is a nuisance).
|
|
<br>
|
|
Select a picture: type the <b>first letter(s)</b> of its name.
|
|
<br>
|
|
Type <b>Space</b>. The picture opens in QuickLook. <br>
|
|
To see the next picture, use <b>Arrow_down</b>.
|
|
<br>
|
|
And so on. Quit QuickLook by typing <b>Space</b> again.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Preview and QuickLook can seem slow when browsing large photos (4 MB). Try the free picture viewer <b>Xee</b> to look at your photos more quickly. With Xee you select only one picture and view the next picture by typing <b>Command</b> or with a <b>clickety scrollwheel mouse</b>. One 'notch' of the scrollwheel shows the next image. Using the Magic Mouse goes through the pictures too quickly. <br>
|
|
To open the first picture with Xee: right-click (two finger tap) the file and choose 'open with'. (You can use the keyboard for the choosing, but not the right-clicking, afaik)
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
If you look at pictures/photos/comics a lot, maybe try a few other viewing apps (for instance: 'Sequential').

<hr>
|
|
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">Preview works well with the Magic Mouse.</span> <b>One flick</b> on the mouse will show the next image (not half a dozen as with Xee), you can then zoom/enlarge it by <b>double-tapping</b> the mouse, and then you can poke around the details of this large picture by smoothly <b>scrolling it in any direction</b> . (With Xee you can either scroll from one picture to the next <b>or</b> scroll within one picture, not both.)
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Preview also is an very useful basic picture editor. Check the
|
|

|
<a href="shortcuts.html#tab"><span style="color: #6699FF;">Tab Section</span></a> for a detailed example.

|
|
(Using both arrow_down <b>and</b> arrow_right to show the next image seems superfluous. However, if you miss-type the arrow_down/arrow_up keys in (for example) Microsoft Photo Viewer, it messes up the viewing flow. So, this redundancy can be helpful.)

<br>
|

<span style="color: #FF0000;">shift command F - slideshow </span> This advances the (pre-selected) pictures automatically, but can also be another way to <b>enter full screen</b>. You can <span style="color: #FF0000;">stop the 'show' (type space</span>) and <span style="color: #FF0000;">advance with arrow_right (go back with arrow_left)</span>. The difference: Slideshow automatically zooms all images to fit the screen (which you can't stop). To make (small) images fit the screen in normal (non-slideshow) full screen mode, you first need to type <b>option command 9</b>. Another difference: when you stop Slideshow, you <b>have</b> to use arrow_right to advance, you can't swipe the Magic Mouse.

<br>

|

|
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">delete</span> - <b>used</b> to '<span style="color: #FF0000;">move to previous page</span>'. In fact, it was <b>the</b> standard key for 'back' since 1995.
|
|
Apple removed it in 2012 because people kept typing it by mistake while editing text online, sometimes loosing what they had written. Also, Apple prefers you to use the Magic Mouse/Trackpad. The swipe gestures for 'back' are good, but the page sometimes loads a bit slower.<br>
|
|
You can re-enable the delete key to open the previous page with <b>Terminal</b>:<br>
|
|
Command Space (opens Spotlight)<br>
|
|
type T (or Terminal) (until it's selected)<br>
|
|
Return (opens the Terminal window)<br>
|
|
Paste this piece of code into the Terminal window:<br>
|
|
<span style="font-size: 80%;">defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2BackspaceKeyNavigationEnabled -bool YES</b></span><br>
|
|
Command Q (quit Terminal)<br>
|
|
quit and re-open Safari <br>
|
|
|
|
This will also re-enable:
|
|
<br>
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">
|
|
shift delete </span> - <span style="color: #FF0000;"> move (back) to next page
|
|
</span>
|
|
<br>
|
|
(If you find you don't like it after all, paste the same code, but replace YES with NO.) <br>
|
|
(Thank you, Macrumors)
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|

Alternatively use these:<br>
|
|
|
|
<span style="color: #FF0000;">
|
|
command [ </span> - <span style="color: #FF0000;"> move to previous page<br>

command arrow_left </span> - <span style="color: #FF0000;"> move to previous page<br>
|
|
command arrow_right </span> - <span style="color: #FF0000;"> move (back) to next page<br>
|
|
|
|
One finger swipe sideways right/left on Magic Mouse </span> - <span style="color: #FF0000;"> move to previous/next page <br>
|
|
Two finger swipe sideways right/left on Trackpad </span> - <span style="color: #FF0000;"> move to previous/next page<br>

When you read a long page, and need to look at something at the beginning or end, or loose your spot by brushing against the Magic Mouse, or use command arrow_down instead of Fn arrow_down by mistake, try to remember a word or phrase you just read and search for it (command F). When the word appears more than once, keep hitting Return. You can also use this to 'bookmark' a spot where you stopped reading: copy the last paragraph to a TextEdit page.

Make your <b>viewing area larger</b> by hiding all this stuff:
|
|
<br>
|
|
command / - show/hide Status bar (that's the strip at the bottom of the window)<br>
|
|
shift command B - show/hide Favourites bar<br>
|
|
shift command L - show/hide Side bar<br>
|
|
shift command T - show/hide Tab bar<br>
|
|
control command 1 - show/hide Bookmarks sidebar<br>
|
|
control command 2 - show/hide Reading List sidebar<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|

<b>Selecting:</b><br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
shift arrow_down (when you have already selected a word/line) - extends selection down one line <br>
|
|
shift arrow_up (when you have already selected a word/line) - extends selection up one line <br>
|
|
(in fact, use <b> the same arrow selection shortcuts as in TextEdit </b> - see above)<br>

<b>Source Code</b><br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
'Show Page Source' is listed in the (hidden) Developer Menu:<br>
|
|
Go to Safari preferences (<b>command ,</b> ) / click on '<b>Advanced</b>' / tick '<b>Show develop menu in menu bar</b>'.
|
|
<br>
|
|
Now you can use this shortcut:
|
|
<br>
|
|
option command U - show page source
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Alternative:<br>
|
|
Save the webpage to your computer. <br>
|
|
Right-click the icon of the webpage. <br>
|
|
Choose 'Open with' and 'TextEdit' .<br>
|
|
You can use TextEdit to change the Source code. Maybe make another copy first.

All this shortcutting makes a lot more sense if you can type reasonably fast.
|
|
That means<b> typing without looking at the keyboard</b>.
|
|
The problem is that watching a really fast typist makes you want to give up right away. But that sort of speed is not necessary at all.
|
|
You don't need to do a class or anything. Just learn the basic hand position:
|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
Left hand:<br>
|
|
little finger - resting on A<br>
|
|
Ring finger - resting on S<br>
|
|
Middle finger - resting on D<br>
|
|
Index finger - resting on F<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Right hand;<br>
|
|
Index finger - resting on J<br>
|
|
Middle finger - resting on K<br>
|
|
Ring finger - resting on L<br>
|
|
little finger - resting on ;<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
That's it. Just put you hands in that positition (notice the two little thingies on keys F and J - they are there to guide you). Try to reach the other letters from that basic position, and try not to look at the keyboard so much. Don't worry about speed.

This is (mostly) a list of shortcuts I made for myself, because I keep forgetting stuff.
|
|
Hopefully some of it is of some use to others. <br>
