Mac Forum / General / General / August 2007Firefox keyboard shortcuts
I was wondering if any Firefox enthusiasts out there can point me to some good sites where I might possibly add keyboard shortcuts to the latest Firefox on the latest OS X? And for customization, is their any other browsers that have as much customization potential as Firefox? I've been trying Camino, Safari and Flock as well. Opera is my favorite but there are just too many incompatible Javascript rich sites that make it unworkable unless you have the patience of a monk. So its finally time to move on. What would be best is for one program to translate one set of keyboard shortcuts for similar types of programs. For now, when I use tabs in Firefox, I haven't found a way of navigating to the next tab without using the mouse. Also a mouse text size zoomer would be nice. Cmd_+ is a rather awkward keystroke - especially as I may use it many times a day. Opera has Cmd_mousewheel to zoom text which works great. It would ideal to have the same for Firefox and any other browser. And for Word processing, wouldn't it be great to have the same keyboard shortcuts for MS Word and Pages and anything else you might use? Is there a program that can "reprogram" keyboard and mouse shortcuts so things are more standard? > What would be best is for one program to translate one set of keyboard > shortcuts for similar types of programs.

There was an add on for that but it wasn't really Full Screen. Almost Full Screen. > > What would be best is for one program to translate one set of keyboard > > shortcuts for similar types of programs.

You click to open one of the folders there, and then use the mouse. But I wish there was a way to select the bar and move laterally among the folders, which I only know how to do with the mouse. > > What would be best is for one program to translate one set of keyboard > > shortcuts for similar types of programs.

See <http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/keyboard>.

Some very awkward hand positions there are necessitated to navigate Firefox. There needs to be some intermediary program that can handle basic commands like back, forward, etc. Definitely back, forward and tab/window navigation should be able to be accomplished by mouse buttons as well as keyboard shortcuts. If you're at the mouse you use it. If you're at the keboard you use that. Using the mouse pointer is hopefully time consuming. The time it takes to go 1/4 way to the click point is the same time it takes to push a couple of buttons. |
