I'm all keyed up!

I've been using Firefox for a quite some time, but I just discovered this by accident
Did you know that you could press the Spacebar to scroll the current page down one screenful?
Shift+Spacebar scrolls back up.

A further investigation (actually Googling, but I love to sound like a News Reporter) led me to this site, that lists keyboard shortcuts in Firefox, and the equivalents in Internet Explorer and Opera.

*Makes a mental note to try out all the keyboard shortcuts..

P.S. I think it's a day for Did you Know's.. my friend Anand has made a post on ways to use Gmail as an extra hard drive..

  3. There are many more interesting shortcuts.
    One of them is that pressing '/' will bring up the search. And if the searching results in a link, then it focuses on the link - so pressing "Enter" will activate the link.
    Makes life a lot simple.
    I have stopped using firefox, however, b ecause its too heavy, and buggy.

  4. Not boasting around...but it works on all browser n short-keys come up with every installation...its always good to reply on shortcut keys though when laptop suddenly freezes up with so many apps running on it...

    Gmail file system was again something which came soon after gmail started on invitation basis..haven;t used though, but nice info
