Evening,
To be correct the control+tab is a Unix/Linux derivative so in actual
fact OS X being Unix based it did not steal from M$
Same as control+β, or β will give you an alternative desktop for
which there are 4 default many more on application. (Unix has alt+fkeys)
I think this is what Apple refers to as Spaces in Leopard; although I
believe I had it in Tiger, but only 4(some coding required??).

Cheers!

And just an addendum to Neil's hint, if you go Command+shift+tab it
cycles through in reverse.
Sometimes useful if you have too many applications open or you
accidently skipped past the app you wanted.
I tell my students that command+tab was one of the few things the
Mac stole from the windows environment.

Hi Laura,
Congratulations on your successful publication!
One of the things I love about the Mac is how it allows you to be
creative
and even makes it fun :)
I have been using Macs now for at least 20 years but I'm still
constantly
amazed at finding new tips/tricks/features (and many from this list).
My latest:
Although I'd known for many years that βtab cycled through your
open
applications, it was only recently that I learnt that β~ cycled
through the
open windows of your current application - now I use it all the time!
(in case your mail browser doesn't display the symbol properly that's
Command-tab to cycle applications and Command-tilde to cycle windows)
Have fun!
Cheers
Neil

Good morning all
Recently I was given a great deal of help with the scanning of
photos
that I wanted to use to make an on line photo album. Thanks to all
your advice, particularly Ronni, Neil and Susan, I have now created
my first photo book using Snapfish (recommended by Susan). It's a
great site and, interestingly, is now part of the iiNet freezone. I
arranged for the book to be forwarded direct to the recipient who is
delighted with the result. It's true that now having seen the
finished product I can see room for improvement with the next one
but
that's part of the learning process.
On a totally different subject, while searching for some information
on French train journeys and using a French language site, even
though my French is very basic, I saw alongside the result of one of
my searches what looked like the iCal icon. Curious, I clicked on
it
and am amazed to find that the information has been sent to iCal on
my Macbook, appearing on the appropriate date in September. Maybe
this is not news to all you very experienced Mac users but for me it
seemed like a small miracle!!
Regards
Laura
