Option-Click in Scroll Bars for Jump Scrolling

In Mac OS X in general, and thus in most native Mac OS X applications, hold down the Option key and click anywhere in a window's scroll bar to jump to that spot (rather than scrolling one screen). If you like this behavior, you can make it the default in the Appearance preference pane. For "Click in the scroll bar to:" select "Jump to here."

 
 

Call for Writers

Call for Writers -- As we've mentioned before, we enjoy working with both new and experienced writers. The five of us who represent the core staff of NetBITS all produce pieces and write FAQtoids, but we enjoy featuring other voices and areas of expertise. Last week we welcomed Jim Heid, and this week and next Peter Kent. Several of our readers in a variety of professions are currently working on pieces you'll see in the weeks to come. If you have ideas for articles you'd like to write, email us at <editors@netbits.net> and we'll help you get started. [GF]
