Don't know if you've run this already, it seems very very basic (but I never actually noticed it before). You can page down by hitting the space bar and page up by using shift space bar. It works in Safari, Mail, OmniWeb, etc.

Scroll pages with the space bar
heheh, not only is this not a safari hint, or an os x hint, this isn't even a mac hint. This is the standard behavior or every single browser out there. And although some hints are totally missed by some and they deserve space here, i REALLY hope there isn't much people that this is new to. HEH :)

you can page up w/ shift-space too, at least in most apps.

... and in iCab you scroll back with backspace. Makes sense to me, I wish other browsers did this too.

IE doesn't on OS9 at least. I cringe when using it for this reason more than any.

Actually, in IE, you need to press option+space, which I prefer over shift+space since its easier to press.

No, you don't. This works on every browser I've ever used. Not much of a hint, if you ask me... Not that I'm complaining. It's good to get things like these documented.

Well, yes you do if you're using my Mac.
Actually it's from UNIX
This is actually a UNIX hint. This same functionality works with the "man" and "more" commands in the terminal. When viewing a man page or something piped to "more", the space bar moves one page down. Other Unix tips for this include the "b" key moves one page "back", and the "q" key exits or "quits". The "b" and "q" keys obviously don't do diddly for OS X web browsers, though.

Besides that, on my TiBook SHIFT-"up arrow" = page up, etc. I used to think that they only worked with the "fn" key but seems they work with SHIFT too. Can some one test this on a "normal" keyboard?
go back a page with "delete"
Just got a new powerbook last week :) and in Safari (v.60) I can hit the "delete" key to go back a page. Quite handy on a laptop with no mouse.

While we're pointing out keyboard shortcuts:
Safari shortcuts If Safari's in your /Applications/ folder, that'll list all the keyboard shortcuts for it. If not, change the "Applications" part to the correct directory. (This can be accessed via the debug menu, as well, if you have that enabled.)

SHIFT+SPACE scrolls one page up.

And "shift delete" will take you forward through previously navigated pages. :) |
