How to View the Complete List of Safari 4 Shortcuts
One of the most often asked questions for any application is, “Is there a shortcut for doing x?”
With Safari 4 the answer is: Probably. But you don’t have to spend a lot of time looking around, trying to find shortcut information. Safari 4 has a built-in web page that contains a list of every keyboard and mouse shortcut.
You can access this page in a number of different ways, including typing the URL for the page into the Location bar in Safari; using the Finder to browse to where Safari 4 stores this information on your Mac; or, my favorite, using the ‘Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts’ menu item in the Debug menu.
I like using the Debug menu option because it ensures the keyboard and shortcuts information is always current, even after I update Safari. The direct URL and the location of the file could both change after installing a Safari update.
“Wait!” you say. “Where is this Debug menu of which you speak?” Well, it’s a hidden menu that has been built into Safari since its early days, but it’s easy to make it visible. The Safari 4 Complete Keyboard and Mouse Shortcuts List article contains links to instructions for enabling and disabling the Debug menu.
While I appreciate your being here to offer help, please take a moment to reread this article as if you were someone coming here looking for How To.
You’ll find a COMPLETE dearth of actual “How To Do This…” on this page. You mention that there are several ways to discover the shortcuts, but nowhere do you mention what they are. And of the 3 ways to which you allude, you only link to one actual solution. I can only hope the linked page is more helpful.
Please read this in the constructive way it was intended.
Did you actually read the whole post? The ‘how to’ is in the last paragraph – click the link to the article. Couldn’t be easier!
