Cool Keyboard Tricks

carbon3

I was bored one day, so I started playing around with Mac OS 9.2.2. In the process, I discovered a couple interesting keyboard shortcuts:

• Hide others: control?option?delete


• Hide ALL applications and go to the Finder: control?shift?delete

Cool, huh?



Do any of you know some lesser-known keyboard tricks?

Not working for me, then again my command-tab doesn't work either. Anyone know of any extension conflicts that can cause this?

Oops! It was Wapp Pro that allowed me to use those shortcuts, not Mac OS 9.2.2. <img src="graemlins/embarrassed.gif" border="0" alt="[Embarrassed]" />

It may not be an extension conflict, but instead a different key combo might have been assigned for app switching. Here's how to change the key combo for app switching:

<ol type="1">[*]Open Mac Help by pressing commandÂ?? in the Finder[*]Type "program switcher" in the search box[*]Click the first item, "Switching between open programs" or something similar[*]Scroll all the way down until you reach the link, "Help me modify the keyboard shortcuts" and click it[*]Follow the directions, and voilÃ*![/list=a]
