\"\"Sometimes, when I feel the urge to tinker, I poke around the various \u201cresource bundles\u201d of applications on my Mac. Its not always a smart thing to do (which is why I always work on a copy) and very often, there\u2019s not much interesting in there besides some icons and a couple of code fragments that aren\u2019t very interesting.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, though, you find something incredibly useful.\u00a0While poking about in the latest version of Safari, I came across a document that lists out the various keyboard and mouse shortcuts.<\/p>\n

If you have Safari 4 installed, you can view it by entering this URL into your address bar (or just right-click the link and open it in a new window…) –\u00a0 file:\/\/\/Applications\/Safari.app\/Contents\/Resources\/Shortcuts.html<\/a><\/p>\n

While most of these shortcuts are old hat for many Safari users, it was nice to have all the combinations listed out as a reference. I later found out that you can also access this page if you have enabled Safari\u2019s Debug<\/strong> menu. This can be done by using any of a number of Free\/Shareware Safari add-ons or by entering the following command in Terminal<\/p>\n

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1<\/span><\/pre>\n
(thanks to Mac OS X Hints<\/a> for this tip.)<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
While the Debug menu may be useful for programmers and the like, there really isn\u2019t too much that\u2019s useful for the rest of us, outside a couple of amusing \u201cparty tricks\u201d (ooh… transparent windows…) and the aforementioned shortcuts list.<\/p>\n
What I find much more useful is the \u201cDevelop<\/strong>\u201d menu. This is another menu that\u2019s disabled by default. It\u2019s easy enough to turn on, though.<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Go to the Preferences in Safari.<\/li>\n
  2. Click on the Advanced tab.<\/li>\n
  3. Check the box next to \u201cShow Develop menu in menu bar.\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    In this menu, you\u2019ll find a bevy of tools that will prove useful from time to time.<\/p>\n
    If you have a page that\u2019s refusing to load via Safari, you can choose to open it directly in another browser you have installed by using the \u201cOpen Page With<\/strong>\u201d selection. Similarly, if there\u2019s a site that \u201crequires\u201d a particular browser even though there\u2019s nothing \u201cbrowser-specific\u201d about it (banking sites are notorious for this), you can change Safari\u2019s \u201cUser Agent<\/strong>\u201d string by selecting the \u201crequired\u201d browser from the list.<\/p>\n
    One of the features I use frequently is the Web Inspector<\/strong>. This multi-tabbed interface allows you to check out the source code, images, scripts, Cascading Style Sheets, and other elements of a site. I\u2019ve used it to troubleshoot pages I\u2019ve put together, grab images I\u2019d otherwise be unable to get, and see what causes a particular page to take so darn long to load.<\/p>\n
    There are a bunch of other selections, as well, including options to turn off\u00a0 images, CSS, JavaScript and a number of other items. My advice on those is to leave them alone unless you\u2019re sure <\/em>they\u2019re what you need to turn off. You can find more information about this menu by looking up \u201cDevelop menu\u201d in Safari Help.<\/p>\n
    Though it is doubtful that I will ever <\/em>say that it is the only Web browser you will need, Safari 4 is a very capable one. Now, with just a couple of tweaks, it becomes even more flexible. While it may not have all the extensibility of Firefox, these options make it my primary browser both at work and at home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
