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.

[Yes, yes, I’ll write a little about Vancouver and USENIX Security in the next day or two. I’m still recovering; it was a long week.]
