I've been wondering when the 'skip to top' functionality that is now a staple in so many iOS apps would appear on OS X. It seems to be here now, albeit in a limited fashion. As such, this hint only seems valid for Firefox.

Skip to top/bottom of web page
I just use the two arrow keys below the F15 key !!!!! Edited on Aug 06, '12 08:02:40AM by OSXManc

Or, if you are on a laptop, Fn+Left or Right arrow keys.

Didn't know of these laptop keyboard combinations before. Assigned fn+left arrow [Home] and fn+right arrow [End] to 3-finger swipe up and 3-finger swipe down in BetterTouchTool under OSX 10.6.8. Works great. May never use scrollbars again. Still see no reason to 'upgrade' to 10.7 or 10.8.

On my Mac this just scrolls the page, same as a two finger swipe on my Magic Trackpad.
On my wireless keyboard, it's fn-up arrow and fn-down arrow for Home and End.

Thanks, I'd actually been wondering about this earlier today. Works great for me.

I can't replicate this. What Trackpad settings are in effect?
Skip to top/bottom of web page
On a Mac it has always been tap the space bar for page down or Command up or down arrow to got the the top or bottom of the page. Use the free and excellent BetterTouchTool to program a shortcut for those keystrokes on your trackpad or Magic Mouse, in my case a single finger tap in the top middle of the trackpad takes me to the the top, the same tap applied to the middle bottom of the trackpad takes me to the end.

I think this particular behavior depends on the application. I'm still using Snow Leopard, with System Preferences -> Trackpad -> Three fingers swipe to navigate enabled. In general, three fingers swiped sideways will move to next page or previous page.

The old school methods still work as well. |
