    This is just a general Apple keyboard question. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.


    I am looking for a shortcut (multi-key or otherwise), that I could not locate in the "HELP" menu. I was wondering if there is a shortcut to move back to a previous page or advance pages in an open window. FOR EXAMPLE, to simulate the arrows in the top left hand corner. Page forward and page back. (or forward and previous arrows). I'm not sure what the proper name is, but I imagine we all know what arrows I mean. Any help would be great, thanks!!!

    Hmmmmm, I may have found it. "Command" and "left" or "right" arrow. I could'nt find it in the Mac OSx shortcuts menu. I will go look again.

    If you mean in a browser, than Command + Left or Command + Right works... if you mean Finder windows, I'm not sure. :p

    Got it!!!! Thanks, yep, I meant browser. Works great. I'm custom configuring the buttons on my AWESOME Logitech MX1000 cordless laser mouse. I can't figure out why they discontinued this mouse. IMHO, It's the best, most versatile, easiest to use mouse I have EVER tried. Rechargeable too. I've never even looked for the battery(ies). I have tried many mouses (mice?).. [Houses (hice?)]...[douse], ahhhh, english eh? Anyways, back on topic, yes, this is the best one I have tried, and every key except for the tilt left/right on the scroll wheel is programmable and perfectly compatible with my MacBook Pro. The tilting wheel already does exactly what I want it to do, and that is side-scroll to the left and right on any wide window where you would require shifting to the left or right.
