rajeesh Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 When observing the mouse, you might think, “It has two buttons, sometimes a wheel, and a sensor, and that’s all there is to it!” At least in Windows, right-clicking, dragging, pointing, and double-clicking aren’t the only things you can do with your mouse. There are some operations that can help you save time and make advanced operations like opening new tabs on your browsers, selecting multiple portions of text, and selecting text by columns. In this guide, you’ll learn how to do all that without stressing yourself too much. Read the full article at source: Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0nyB Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Really neat things to remember, thanks! :) Knew them all except Alt (doesn't work for me) and Shlft... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calguyhunk Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I still don't get No.4 :P I'll Google it though ;) But I've always done that kinda' stuff manually one chunk of text at a time. It would have been great if I'd known it all this while :yes: 1 and 3 are cool and really helpful :)Knew about and practice No.2.on daily basis. I think FF first started offering that functionality before everybody caught on, but can't be sure ;)As for number 5, again, I do that manually. Copy/Cut (depending) and then Paste in the destination folder. A one click 'Send to' will be great. Will definitely try that the next time. :)Thanks, Rajeesh :DBTW, it's funny how much we don't know about Redmond's finest even after having used Windows since time immemorial. This guide is from a time when not all mice had middle buttons, nor all browsers tabbed interfaces :o :hehe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First browser to implement tab browsing was something called IBrowse, then Opera, then some time later in the next year, Firefox. The Tab interface however, has been introduced far long before they were implemented in browsers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeMasteR Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 InternetWorks was first with tabs (look at the bottom). Now give me that wise-guy present. :lol: :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now give me that wise-guy present. :lol: :lol: :lol: Correct. I seem to have missed that part on Wikipedia. :) Fun to think about it, what if, Apple would have got their hands on tab browsing first? Tabbed browsing as we know it would have seize to exist. Just noting that this invention, whoever did so, is classed in richness only because it was allowed to be adapted and spread.

First browser to implement tab browsing was something called IBrowseInternetWorks was first with tabs (look at the bottom). Yeah, I knew I couldn't be sure. Thanks for the info, boys :) IBrowse, InternetWorks didn't go anywhere and Opera wasn't exactly a household name back in the day. So my first date with the tab thing was when I switched over from IE to NN and eventually to FF for good ;) .............. what if, Apple would have got their hands on tab browsing first? Tabbed browsing as we know it would have seize to exist. Apple doesn't invent anything. They just re-invent things and claim as their own. Admittedly, they do implement ideas better than the original guys more often than not, but this regurgitation and re-implementation has been their modus-operandi since the time they actually tried to sue MS for using the Mac OS GUI when their own product was 'inspired' by Xerox PARC :uhoh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. :) Indeed, Apple doesn't invent anything. That's why I said "if they get their hands on". :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
