Hello all. I was wondering if, somewhere in netland, there is a file that is the compiled version of all the finder shortcuts that exist for the current finder version (I would also be interested in older versions). As of now, I know a precious few of them and would love to learn more! These are SOME of the ones I know: option-command - on startup will rebuild desktop command - on startup will revert to finder from Multifinder shift-command - when dragging files between two folders it will automatically COPY the file leaving one in its orig folder and making a NEW copy in the destination folder Option-dbl click - while in finder option double clicking on the multifinder ICON will launch Multifinder - NOT reversible and sometimes does not work - NOT recommended. Option special menu - will allow you to 'clean up' instead of 'clean up window' there is a slight difference in how it straightens the window. Option DA - holding down the option key while choosing a DA in multifinder will bypass the DA handler. What this is good for, I do not know. If any of you out there know more than these, please send them to me and I will compile them and send them back out. If you know of a file which has all of these little pearls, I would appreciate it if you would let me know about how I can get it. Thanx for the help, Scott. -- Scott Cherkofsky "When the world comes to its The George Washington University end, due to our mucking about Internet: fs285119@seas.gwu.edu and our hemming and hawing, ME Student / Government Employee who are we gonna call?"

I can only think of one other one off-hand, but it seems to not work every time. It is command-option-e, which, when it works, is equivalent to dragging the selected floppy disk icon to the trash. Anyone know why it's so flaky?

I think you have to hold down the keys until the icon vanishes. Dunno for sure - I don't use it myself. ========================================================================== Rick Holzgrafe | {sun,voder,nsc,mtxinu,dual}!apple!rmh Software Engineer | AppleLink HOLZGRAFE1 rmh@apple.com Apple Computer, Inc. | "All opinions expressed are mine, and do 20525 Mariani Ave. MS: 3-PK | not necessarily represent those of my Cupertino, CA 95014 | employer, Apple Computer Inc."
