What?
Authored by: Mithrandir on Mar 21, '02 02:09:07AM

I have NO idea what you are talking about. Command - Alt does nothing special when clicking, scrolling or otherwise.

What am I missing. Please explain how to do this in a little more detail.

Thanks

In any carbon app, do File -> Open. Find a directory that exceeds the length of the available space. Press command then option (right next to command) and hold them both down. Now click and drag the mouse around in the list while continuing to hold the keys down.

Ah! Thank you! Apparently the Finder doesn't qualify for this tip even though it is supposedly a Carbon app. Of course it doesn't have any open or save dialogs but the column view SHOULD do this too.

The trick works in list view.
