Shift-space FTW
August 6th, 2006
Whoa!
Pressing the space bar in a read-only rich-text or HTML view (e.g. Mail.app, Safari) advances the scroll position by a page (satisfying habits of Eudora or more users). This is old news. But I just now discovered that holding down Shift will reverse the scroll direction.
Brilliant.

This is actually true on Windows as well, and has been the case on both platforms (Linux too?) for as long as I can remember.

Huh. It’s funny how you can use a UI element daily and still periodically discover new things about it. [How many UNIX-to-Mac converts out there know that all Cocoa text-entry widgets support EMACS line-editing keystrokes (^A, ^E, ^K, etc.)?]
