To save time by avoiding loosing all text you typed when hitting Cmd-Left in Firefox on a Mac: see “Disable Firefox’s Command-Arrows page jump shortcuts” on http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090118145518767

new tab: ctrl + t
switch tab : ctrl + tab
downloads: ctrl + j
error console: ctrl + shift + j
refresh : f5 / ctrl + r

then the usual ctrl + a/c/v

These are great. Thanks. I always was annoyed that shift click opened in new window and not new tab. Never realised that alt click would do the exact thing I wanted. This is great. Alt + D is a good one too. thank you

Great tips! I tend to use Safari as my default browser, the later versions of Firefox seems to be really slow on my Apple.

Apple + T – Opens a new tab
Apple + H – Hides the browser

I regulary hide items, what a time saver i believe the default shortcut in Photoshop is different, but can be changed via the settings.

The three most valuable shortcuts to me are:

Mouse middle-click on a link.
This opens up the link automaticly in a New Window/Tab

CTRL+Shift+T, wich opens up the last closed Tab.

And offcourse CTRL+T, to open up a clear new Tab.

There is a firefox plugin that lets cmd+enter open a page that has been typed in the address/search bar. This helps me a lot since I was using Safari for a while. Now opening a link or address in a new tab uses command not a mix of command and option

Nearly forgot…heres the link. http://www.ruizs.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/usemetakeys.xpi Just click on that and it will ask you to download. Then open the file with firefox and install..

Hi great tips …but I tried the alt d and then typed in word I wanted to look up, it takes me to a google page. I did not get “dictionary.com”. I love that one,,,and would use it a lot but what am I doing wrong? Do tell. Thanks
