Top Foot.ie Tip: ALT+S to post

[dahamsta]

I only discovered this recently and I couldn't live without it now: In any place you're posting a message, including private messages, you can just hit ALT+S to post the message rather than tab to the Submit button. Bloody handy that. Any other top tips?

adam /hits atl+s

Just testing to see if it works, and.......................it does!!!

[Dodge]

can't believe you didn't know that. I always use the alt+ controls in e-mail, so presumed they worked here (and on pretty much every other forum...)

I always use the alt+ controls in e-mail, so presumed they worked here (and on pretty much every other forum...)So do I, which makes it all the more annoying that I didn't notice it on vB until a few weeks ago! I use vi as my editor on *nix ffs, I was raised on keyboard shortcuts. :)

Hmmmm, thats deadly

Its not to do with VB, but when I discovered Alt+Tab (cycles through Windows) a few years ago it was great. F5 is good too sometimes.

You need to get out more Adam;) :D


It is handy though!

On a Mac alt+s = ß

I guess that's a handy tip too, if you're posting German.

[joeSoap]

Amazing....

[joeSoap]

Shouldn't this be in the support section??

[noby]

Yeah. Who the hell started this in off topic anyway?

[Risteard]

yess they do
yep. Actually since about 5 years ago at least i think but they're fazing it out. Handy for dopes like me who pronounced it as 'b'

How does a 1 handed person press cntr alt del if they need to shut down a task ? Always thought it was strange that they would choose keys so far apart for such an important function :confused:

[John83]

Tongue? :eek:
Nose. :p

[Maz]

Wonderful....

[OwlsFan]

The tongue or nose would have to be on the "delete" button as the other buttons are too far away :eek:

Just tried it :D

[finlma]

There's a CTRL and ALT on both sides of the keyboard so it can be done with 1 hand.

[OwlsFan]

But the delete is on the far side. Unless you've got fingers like ET, you can't reach all 3 at the same time.

There's a ctrl & alt to the right of the space bar and to the left. Using the ones on the right I can do ctrl+alt+delete with 1 hand. There just did it. On this keyboard anyway.

Have Friday afternoons really come to this :D

[Dodge]

Not on mine, but Alt GR does the same trick, hurrah!

[dahamsta]

I had to unsub this thread, it was acting as a somnolent...

[drinkfeckarse]

eh....ok then
