When online is there a key that puts me back one page,instead of using the mouse and bringing it up to the reverse arrow.
 
Thanks,command + [ worked,also tried command + left arrow didn't work.
 
I didn't know about cmd-left arrow myself so I tried it on my new iMac here and it also worked. But use whatever works for you obviously! ;)

Actually I didn't know about it either, until I had read the original post I had never thought about a short cut. So I experimented with what I thought would be logical. :apple:-left seemed natural. :apple:-[ would never have occurred to me.
I am glad tho that it worked for you. Thought for a minute there I was going nuts.;)
 
The "Delete" key works. I use it with PCs and nicely enough it works with Mac also :) Plus, it's a direct back so most of the time the previous page is cached so the loading is less than a second.

i think "delete" is the same function as backward button, or cmd+[.

Safari doesn't always read cache directly like other browsers on mac, so in many situations (such as here MR), it takes much longer (than 1 sec) to load when you press back/forward button.
