Keyboard shortcuts for the win!

Apr 12, 2007 08:34

I love keyboard shortcuts. If I had it my way I'd only use the mouse in case of emergency. I thought I'd list some of my favorite keyboard shortcuts, specifically Firefox shortcuts, ( under the cut )

games, tv: prison break, links, computers: keyboard shortcuts

I'm going to watch FNL too, now that it's over. And I want to watch LoM at some point too. How many episodes is it total, with two seasons? It can't be that many.

I just spent half an hour playing Boomshine. That's a pretty game. It took me FOREVER to beat Level 12; I got 54 three or four times, I think. When I finally managed to get 55, it almost seemed like luck, since I didn't even wait that long for a better opportunity; I saw what looked like a decent one and clicked because I was about ready to quit. My final score was 274, which wasn't even in the top 500.

I watched up to episode 12, but I never really took to it as much as my flist, and sometimes it's even worse to continue watching something where you're not seeing what everyone else is seeing. I can't remember how many episodes there are in each season, but there are less than 10, that much I know.

The first time I played I got over 300 points, probably because when I finally got Level 12, I got all 60 of them. I'm betting that helps your score some.

The occasional cheesiness and complete lack of reality is what makes Prison Break so wonderful! Oh, and the hot men.

I wish that could be enough for me, but unfortunately it's not. If I hadn't been watching the last few episodes with her I probably would have quit watching the show entirely at least five episodes ago.

That's what made me oblivious to stuff like potted plants. *g*

I almost never use keyboard shortcuts - I just don't think of them - so I shall bookmark this and learn a few!

I can't even imagine not using keyboard shortcuts. Maybe it's because I type so much that reaching for the mouse is just something I don't need, or maybe it's because I spent about a year hardly using my mouse because it was awkwardly placed and required, you know, actual work to get to, but either way I'm much more comfortable with the keyboard than the mouse.

And there's also a lack of need for precision. I often find my gestures are too sloppy to hit the exact right pixels to, for instance, minimize a window instead of closing it.

ooo i love these shortcuts, the one i use the most is:
like shift+click opens the link in a new window ctrl+click opens the link in a new tab

I noticed that one too when I was looking for new shortcuts, but since I try to do as much as possible without the mouse I didn't include it. I have since realized that it would probably be perfect for when I go screencap hunting when I want to make icons, because I always right-click and open in new tab on those. Ctrl+click would be tons faster. Now I just have to remember it.

Personally, I always aim for maximum slothfulness. ;-)
