Some more Leopard questions

Command+T
That's not how OS X works.
Set it to do so in Preferences.
Command+M
Command+N and then Command+N again.
Command+W

Also, search. This is common knowledge on Apple's site.

 

Double click on the tab bar. If it is not visible, then choose Show Tab Bar from the View Menu.
If it is full, right click on the tab bar and choose new tab. There is no button, there probably should be.

Bonus Tip: If you have lots of windows and tabs open, choose Window > Merge All Windows to clean everything up and consolidate all tabs in one Window.

Go to Preferences (from the Safari menu, or press command + , (comma).
Then in General: set New Tabs Open with: Homepage.

There is no direct comparsion, but Mac OS has a wonderful hide feature. The options are hide this Application (Command + H), hide all other Applications (Command + option + H) and Show All. It's a different way of going about things, but it's very effective. So if your in Safari you can eliminate all background noise in one keystroke and bring back stuff as and when you need it.

Command + N gets you a new Finder Window.

Command + W closes a Finder Window, or any other Window.
Command + option + W closes all Finder Windows, or all Windows in any other Application.

If you hold down option when clicking the red close widget it will achieve the same thing.

 

you can maximize the browser by adding a bookmark with this address

javascript:window.resizeTo((screen.width-150),(screen.height-50));window.moveTo(0,0)

i used that on my macbook as 13" just too small to view small windows

 

But where would the fun be in that, we'd have nothing to answer.

Qinetic has clearly done some reading and research. If your familiar with another style there may be some things which you are used to and prefer from Windows.

I can understand that, after using OS X for 8 years I am very comfortable and would take a bit of adjusting to use a Windows or Linux box full time, although I use both from time to time.

 

For the minimize it is cmd + m but what about bringing it back up?

 

I have attached a screenshot. Change Empty Page to Homepage.

It's find if you use a thumb for command and your finger for paste.
If you can't get used to it:
System Preferences > Keyboard
Then click on the Modifier Keys Panel.
Again, see attached screenshot.

Which notifications and from where do they can? You can ignore them and deal with them later.

You can remove it from the dock by dragging it out or dragging it to the trash can. There is no quick way to delete all the contents of the folder.

Only if your used to something else.
Closing a Window — this closes a window.
Use Case: You have Safari open, you have a download going, you close all windows and view just the downloads window. Because the Safari application is still running you have all your menu items available and can easily open a new window, look at your bookmarks etc.

Force Quiting an Application — If an application is unresponsive, you can force quit it, this is the equivalent to ending tasks.

What can you not use the mouse for?
Look at the jump lists as well in the dock. Right clicking gives you Hide, Show, Quit and let's you switch between windows for a particular application.

 

You click on it, there is no keyboard equivalent.

 

Don't minimise, use the cmd-h Hide option instead.

 

Safari 4 now has a new tab button, at the top right corner of the screen.
