As a keyboard junkie, I'm always looking for new ways to perform mouse-like operations using the keyboard. Today, I discovered that in Firefox, Control-Space simulates a right mouse click wherever the current focus is. This doesn't seem to work in Safari.

Sadly, the same keystroke is used by Butler, and my habit is already ingrained, so if there's a way to change Firefox's keystroke for this, I'd love to know of it. I hate tapping on the trackpad of my MBP; my fingers get numb and sore from it quickly. |
