If you’re using Google Reader for your RSS needs (and chances are you should), and if you’re like me on shortcut keys (love them, but can only learn them very slowly) you may be interested in the shortcut of shortcuts – ?
No, I’m not being quizzical. Just type a question mark while in the app and you’ll get an overlay of shortcut keys. Sadly it doesn’t work in Gmail, but when you’re trying to remember the shortcut for opening an item (v) it’s very handy.

If you use lifehacker’s fantastic Better Gmail extension for Firefox (and you really should be) then you’ll see that the keyboard power macro lets the h key do the same thing in gmail.
You’re welcome
Firefox, meh – it’s so unMac
You use only safari on your Mac, or? Frankly, the Firefox add-on revolution is kicking the sh*t out of other browser options. Apple will never have the development ecosystem Mozilla has.
I generally use Camino on the Mac because it’s just a nice browser. But I really miss the add-on capability of Firefox, especially now I use key navigation in Gmail through the Better Gmail add-on on my Windows machine.
Maybe it’s time to switch full-time to Firefox on the Mac too
Like Andy I’m a Camino user, but I too am tempted by a switch (back) to Firefox. The upcoming FF 3 is supposed to live better on a Mac, so that may be the time to make the change.
I would use Safari quite happily, except that I haven’t worked out how to change the default key combo for changing tab – it’s set to apple-shift-{left/right}, which is about 11 times to complicated for the single key combo I use most in a browser.
