Members Renfield Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 Totally, dude. Ctrl+ either the left or right arrow key. In FF that toggles tabs. You want Alt+direction for that in FF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Renfield Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 I have buttons especially for that on my laptop. I have a mouse for that. :poke: Too lazy to move my hand to the keyboard, my mouse has Fwd/Bk buttons as well as Copy/Paste, Zoom, Side scroll, and 2 types of vertical scroll including a free-wheel mode for long scrolls. It's also wireless and doesn't need external batteries. Oh, it also has a red button on it, but I have been afraid to push that one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members james on bass Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 Oh, it also has a red button on it, but I have been afraid to push that one yet. That's the "easy" button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Renfield Posted January 20, 2009 Members Share Posted January 20, 2009 That's the "easy" button. Maybe, but I bought it used from a government clearout sale. It has the letters GWB written on the bottom in crayon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chris-dax Posted January 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 21, 2009 I have buttons especially for that on my laptop. ...doh - so does mine...I fool feelish... I also discoverd the 'page down/up' touchpad function where I can run my finger along the right edge of the touchpad and it will scroll rapidly in either direction...very cool. I like this computer...it's a couple years old IBM ThinkPad and it's got a great keyboard, nice display and apparently a lot of cool features I have no idea about...

Members RyCLB Posted January 21, 2009 Members Share Posted January 21, 2009 ... Mine is a special brand of abuse, found only in smoked and aged oak casks, which have been meticulously cared for over the ages. Accept no substitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
