I'm just gonna post another tip here.

Push and hold Shift + option/alt + the volume buttons, and it will lower or raise the volume more precisely. It seems to be about 3 additional increases of volume per box. I recorded this video to show. In the video I show that it goes both ways, and if you are part way raised through a box, if you just use the volume keys as normal, they fill or lower the whole box, or increase by whole boxes as normal, so it has no lasting affects.


Also, in case you were wondering, I made the video with a program called ScreenFlow.

Nice, Tulkas! I never actually knew that. I've never needed such precise control before, but it's actually cool to know this in case I ever do. Thanks.

Here is another.

You can press "Command" (apple button) + "-" or "+" to increase or decrease a webpages font. If you use FireFox, you can also do this with ctrl + command + scrolling up or down with the middle mouse button.

or you can use the multi-touch track pad (-:

That one is nothing new. That's been in browsers forever.

The real fun stuff is holding down control and using your mouse wheel.

Some everyone knows, some don't. I thought the last one was really interesting.

Here is another thing. It's a little bit old, but the stuff still works.

Text clipping

I love telling this to my friends, Windows users. I ask them how would they save a piece of text from the document they are viewing at the moment, for example a web page.

Their answer is usually something like: “Oh, easy. You select the text, right click and copy. Then you go to the desktop, right click and select New | Text file, give the file some name and click away. Now you double click the file to open it, paste the text in there and save it. Simple, isn’t it?”

Then I show them how to do it on Mac. I select the text, click on it and drag it to the desktop and that’s it. Many of them need a little help with the dropped jaw, by the way.

If you want to include this text somewhere, say an email, you simply click the file on desktop and drag it into your composed email. Simple as that.
