OS X keyboard shortcuts

12th August 2006 8:03pm

Incredibly comprehensive list of keyboard shortcuts in OS X. Some of these I already knew, but there's a whole load I had no idea even existed. Using Option-Apple-drag to force a program to open the dragged item has already become a massive timesaver.

Useful info for keyboard jockeys everywhere.

Does anyone else see this?

Apple just played their hand. An iMac with a remote control and home entertainment software. Why is no-one else talking about this? All the feeds I'm looking at right now are talking about the video iPod ... fuck the video iPod, look out for the updates to Front Row, here comes the digital hub, and it's going to be as easy to use as an Mac.

Update: Mr Gruber has his groove on, as usual.

The full-screen UI of Front Row is just begging to be hooked up to a TV. Begging. Now that there exists a "video iPod", the next new "Apple has to be working on this" mega-rumor is going to revolve around how Apple plans to bring this Front Row UI to your TV. What's interesting about this is that while Apple has a reputation for making spectacular announcements, their long-term strategy for a media entertainment platform is unfolding incrementally.

I've been putting it off for a while until the .0 bugs were ironed out, but impatience got the better of me the other night and I placed the order on the Apple store anyway. Delivery arrived this morning. Looks like that's my lazy weekend ruined.

More IE7 Details

Chris Wilson has posted some more details about IE7 on the IEBlog, and so far so good. Looks like it's more than just a security fix with better standards support on the way. So far he's confirmed alpha channel support in PNGs and fixes to the peekaboo and guillotine bugs.

In other news Dave Hyatt is rattling through Safari's Acid2 bugs. I'm beginning to think he doesn't sleep you know.
