From then on, Opera's <a href="http://help.opera.com/opera/Mac/1583/en/fasterBrowsing.html#advanced">advanced keyboard shortcuts</a> has become an integral part of my browsing habit. In particular, the following are especially handy for me:</p> +<ul> +<li><code>1</code>: Cycle left through tabs;</li> +<li><code>2</code>: Cycle right through tabs;</li> +<li><code>/</code>: Find on page;</li> +<li><code>Z</code>: Go back one page;</li> +<li><code>X</code>: Go forward one page;</li> +<li><code>0</code>: Zoom in;</li> +<li><code>9</code>: Zoom out;</li> +<li><code>6</code>: Reset zoom to 100%.</li> +</ul> +<p>Lately, with the Yosemite release, Safari has become a much more competitive browser. I won't say why, and I admit that it has major missing features that still prevents it from becoming my default ā but I have to say Iām gradually moving more of more of my browsing, especially reading, to Safari. It would be nice if I could carry my power user shortcuts with me. Fortunately, this is possible. Just modify the plist in the following way:</p> +<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode bash"><code class="sourceCode bash"><span class="co">#!/usr/bin/env bash</span> +<span class="ex">defaults</span> write com.apple.Safari NSUserKeyEquivalents <span class="st">'{</span> +<span class="st">"Actual Size"="6";</span> +<span class="st">"Back"="z";</span> +<span class="st">"Find..."="/";</span> +<span class="st">"Forward"="x";</span> +<span class="st">"Show Previous Tab"="1";</span> +<span class="st">"Show Next Tab"="2";</span> +<span class="st">"Zoom In"="0";</span> +<span class="st">"Zoom Out"="9";</span> +<span class="st">}'</span></code></pre></div> +<p>Relaunch Safari. You are all set! Enjoy the ultrafast single key navigating experience. To reset,</p> +<div class="sourceCode"><pre class="sourceCode bash"><code class="sourceCode bash"><span class="ex">defaults</span> delete com.apple.Safari NSUserKeyEquivalents</code></pre></div> +<hr/> +<p><strong><em>2014/12/22 Update:</em></strong></p> +<p>There's one caveat to this approach ā unlike in Opera, where the default layman shortcuts (e.g., āF) are still available when advanced keyboard shorts are enabled, in Safari they are simply overwritten. This is annoying when the web page or web app binds certain keys, especially <code>/</code> to its own search bar (a notable example being google.com). In that case I have to admit defeat and click on the menu bar item, which takes a hundred times as long as a single <code>/</code> keystroke.</p> +</article> +<hr class="content-separator"/> +<footer class="footer"> +<span class="rfooter"> +<a class="rss-icon" href="/rss.xml" target="_blank" title="RSS feed"><!--RSS feed icon--></a><a class="atom-icon" href="/atom.xml" target="_blank" title="Atom feed"><!--Atom feed icon--></a><a class="cc-icon" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank" title="Released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license."><!--CC icon--></a> +<a href="https://github.com/zmwangx" target="_blank">Zhiming Wang</a> +</span> +</footer> +</body> +</html> |
