Cool OSX trick...

OK, if you press CTRL and scroll with 2 fingers it zooms in and out of the screen.

Have to enable feature in universal access

 

Yeah, Cmd-Left and Cmd-Right are much faster.

 

And if you hold CMD - CTRL - D and mouse around, you get live definitions.


Totally unrelated, I know, but I just saw it on digg.

 

WAUW!!!
That is so cool! I never knew....

Doesn't work in office...

 

I use Camino, and it's working.
Personally... I just prefer clicking the "Back" button.
Occasionally I use Command + Left / Right.

 

That is my favorite OS X feature. It is so convenient that it has increased my english vocabulary profoundly.

 

Wow that is super crazy....

 

For the last few weeks, I've had to work exclusively in Windows on my MacBook. My vocabulery...vocebu...vacabu... my list of words is very small...

I'm really starting to miss these features. I keep doing the two fingered scrolling (or hitting the Expose keys) and being surprised when they don't work.

 

I know how you feel...
I have a Windows PC and (new) a Macbook Pro.

I always quit applications when I only want an @ or I'm typing @s when I want to quit an application.

 

THANKS!

 

Really nice thing, but looks like an "english only" thing. Where can I set up a different language?

 

Doesn't work with me.

 

Awesome trick, thanks Jay42!

 

Wow! Thanks for that tip!

 

Same...hmm. My computer just beeps a lot while I hold it down.

 

I. Love. You.
thanks for sharing!

 

If it helps, the word doesn't have to be highlighted, the mouse cursor has to actually be sitting over the word,highlighted or not. And I think it has to be a cocoa app.

 

ctrl+option+command+8 is all you need to know

 

Yes I am truly amazed that I did not know this.

 

I was reading this thread and thinking to myself, why dont people just use the Delete key ? And I fully intended on letting everyone know. But you beat me to it. But what you didnt say was Shift+Delete sends you forward! bwahaha that is all.

 

Unrelated but SWEEEEET!!!!
