Hi all Very new to the Mac and looking for some basic help.
If I'm using safari are their basic key strokes I can use for getting around web pages? For example how do I easily find where I need to type in a web address? Also, how do I easily find an edit box to type something in and things like a submit button etc. This is all very new to me so any help will be greatly appreciated.
