I can't believe no one mentioned this. This is probably not a new feature in Panther, but I just found out you can use the scroll wheel on a mouse to select options from the menu bar and contextual menus. Takes some getting used to but a fun (and very addictive) little time saver.



Just FYI

    Yes I use it in Jaguar.

    And set the wheel button to send an "enter" key signal.

    By this way you go through the menu options scrolling the wheel and validate your choice clicking the wheel.

    It's an anti-timesaver in my opinion, and it screws up if you accidently move the mouse while you're scrolling.

    i used to use it a lot, but when i'm picking a font to use, it gets real sketchy, cuz i have 1000s of fonts, and i can't move the mouse at all
