Duplicate text sections via drag and drop
Authored by: lagroue on Jan 19, '05 10:32:13AM

Hey, guys, if you have spare time while in front of your mac, try pressing shift, option, command, and any combination on all of your mouse actions, you'll make many discoveries.

Usually, option is the more powerful, usually meaning "duplicate" on drag, and "all" on click (close all if option-click on window close box, minimize all, etc.)

MacOSX menu items change, also, sometimes, if you hold a modifier key. Example with option key in the Finder : Empty Trash... (asking confirmation) / Empty Trash (no confirmation)

There are too many hints of this kind for anybody to list them all.
Remember : only players become power users !

OOooh, yeah! I just tried this in Safari: click on File, then, while menu is open, hold down Option key. Try it on the Window menu, too. Hmm, I'm going to poke about with this more often. Thanks!
