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.

It doesn't work for me? What's going on? 10.4.8 MacBook here... (CMD is the Apple button right?)

Also, I like this

Ctrl + alt and double scrolling upwards/downwards increases or decreases the text size in Firefox (same as CMD +, _ , 0)

If you have 'two finger tap' = 'contextual menu' enabled, you can two finger tap in Safari, then tap 'back'.

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

That is very very cool

I like moving background windows without bringing them to the foreground by just Command+dragging their title bars. You can also browse the Safari windows history by Command+clicking on the name in the title window to get a pop-down list of that window's browsing history.
