How did I do that?

I know I'll forget most of the little things I did when first moving to the Mac so this post is for me to jot down things I figure out so I won't have to figure them out again.

  • Keyboard/Nav stuff:
    • Home/End/PgUp/PgDn - use command-left/right/up/down keys to do that
    • Multi-touch drag-n-drop - click and hold with thumb then use another finger to drag around
    • Two-finger scrolling on multi-touch pad is great
    • Three-finger swipe to go forward/back
    • Four-finger swipe (up/down) to organize multiple windows
  • Network stuff:
    • ipconfig getifaddr en0 - gives the ip address of the wired connection
    • ipconfig getifaddr en1 - gives the ip address of the wireless connection
    • Use Applications/Utils/Network Utility for a GUI network viewer
    • Mount network drives using Finder with command-K
    • For a windows drive use smb://
  • iTunes:
  • Mobile Me:
