Scroll Mouses

[Schumacher_Skaife]

Hi

With my Microsoft Optical Scroll Mouse i discovered the following tips -

1) Rolling the ball while holding CRTL will change the font size on a web page.

2) Rolling the ball while holding SHIFT will act as a forward and back button.


Hope this is useful to some people.

Actually, Control/scroll changes the font size, not the font type .
On some pages, the whole page will resize, on this site it appears to only change html or links.

Yeah, I knew about the font thing, but not the shift thing.

Here is another one:

control + enter adds "http://www" and ".com" to whatever you have in your browser, thus instead of having to type: http://www.whatever.com you can just type whatever and control + enter

f4 brings down your internet history and lets you type in url's

nothing to do with mice though
