More Tips and Tricks

A TechSoup discussion last December compiled a list of time-saving computer tips and tricks.  David Pogue from The New York Times asked his readers to help with a similar list, and the results are on the Times' Web site.  Some that were new to me:

• You can hide all windows, revealing only what's on the computer desktop, with one keystroke: Windows key+D in Windows, F11 on Macs (or, on recent Mac laptops, Command+F3; Command is the key with the cloverleaf logo).

You can enlarge the text on any Web page. In Windows, press Ctrl and the plus or minus keys (for bigger or smaller fonts); on the Mac, it's the Command key and plus or minus.

You can also enlarge the entire Web page or document by pressing the Control key as you turn the wheel on top of your mouse. On the Mac, this enlarges the entire screen image.

You can tap the Space bar to scroll down on a Web page one screenful. Add the Shift key to scroll back up.
