Good afternoon all. Is there any shortcut to open a link in a new tab or is
ctrl-click the only way? I have found that using vokeys-m doesn't open a
context menu on a link. thanks.

Hi Scott,
While in terminal do the following. sudo mdutil -E /
You'll be asked for password then you'll see a message about rebuild
index or something like that.
Also, make sure the e is in uppercase and after entering terminal, cd /
making sure in your home directory.

John, you were kind enough to send me the steps once, but after the

if you'd not mind sending it again, I'd sure appreciate it.
tnx

Hi:
Regarding the finder, have you tried to rebuild the index?
I've done this for both local drive and also on mounted drives and I
have very good results. A reason I've done this is sometimes when I go
to my mounted drive, the finder seems to say busy but after rebuilding
the index I don't receive this message and seems to speed things up.
I don't know if this will resolve the finder issue but if you want, let
me know and I'll give you the steps and one must be of course in the
terminal to do this.

Hi everyone
Well, it had to happen, my installation of OS X is starting to act up
a little. I've noticed two rather annoying behaviors that have cropped
up within the past few weeks that were not present before.
1. While in finder, when browsing a folder, occasionally I will be
taken back to my home directory. I don't know why, and it seems to
happen at random, though it appears to be more common when browsing
remote folders rather than local ones. This can also happen when
command+tabbing back to the finder, it will simply put me in my home
directory for no reason.
2. When initially starting the computer then loading up Safari,
sometimes cmd+l to open a web location will cause Safari to quit.
There's no dialogs, no errors, no crash reports. It just quits and
that's it, reminds me of the behavior I get in Linux when a GUI app
segfaults (though in Linux at least I can see an error message in the
status console). This is the more annoying behavior by far, as I have
to play around a little to get it working correctly again. Sometimes
moving to the address bar with the VO cursor will fix it, sometimes
not and I have to unlink the cursors and then click the mouse on the
address bar.
Has anyone seen either of these behaviors before or did I mess
something up somehow? I'm wondering if it might be time to give my Mac
an OS reinstall.
