Just like the title says, I'm wondering if anybody knows if there is a keyboard shortcut for the top sites feature in Safari 4? I did a brief search but couldn't seem to find it.
 
just set your Home Page as the Top Sites, and open a new tab or new window.... as easy as Cmd-T or Cmd-N.

How do you set the Top Sites as your home page? In Preferences under General when I have the Tops Sites open the "set as home page" option is grayed out.

Thanks.

Just installed Safari 4 today and I like all the new features but using the Top Sites feature is a huge memory hog. Safari was using huge amounts of RAM after just a few times using Top Sites. In Activity Monitor Safari was using 300+ MB of RAM.
 
the new shortcut is actually more ergonomic as compared to the previous shortcut ...
you can simply rest your thumb's edge horizontally to cover cmd+option and use one of your remaining fingers to press 1...

i personally like the change :apple: :)
 
FN + left arrow (laptops)
Command + Up Arrow

Admittedly that's two keys.
 
how do I, once opened a new tab (with top sites) select one of the top 6 sites with my keyboard?

right now I hit cmd+t but then have to switch to mouse to pick. why can't I just hit #1-6?
