Interesting. Didn't know most of them, also prolly will never use most of them.  :azn:

Got a kick out of this bit:

When writing, we often need to quickly look up the meaning of a word; however, it can be a pain to open Dictionary.app and type in the word we want to look up.

A pain, really? People are getting that lazy (and dumb). And god forbid there are those of us who still have one of those "real" book dictionaries on our desk. Sometimes it's just faster to use the fucking book.

I actually have one in a drawer (dictionary, that is), believe it or not.

I have a spelling dictionary right behind my keyboard. I use it too.

I have English & Spanish dictionaries plus a thesaurus on my desk. I did use an online thesaurus earlier today, though.  :embarrassed:

We've been cleaning house here and there was a big-ass dictionary that's been here since the 50s. It's at least 6-7" thick and not light. My boss took it home because it's fragile.

[David]

oh, I don't use it, I just have it around cause it looks cool.

Smart prop? Is that why you wear (fake) glasses, too?  :tongue:

[David]

it's all a big fake out...

[gnubler]

...to make me think you're smart but you're really not? 

[David]

something like that, but I'm not sure, I've been faked out before.

Hi all.
Does anyone know a shortcut to delete a file (eg. from an external server) without using the mouse to click delete?
It use to be Command+delete>enter and it was gone.
Now you enter and it cancel the deletion!
I hate it!!!!!

[gnubler]

I'd like to know, I deal with this often (from Mac to PC). Yes, I'm sure I want to delete it...

[Joe]

Option+Command+Delete will delete it immediately with no warning, no sending it to the trash or anything. GONE! Command+Delete will ask if you are sure you want to delete it. And it has to be the "delete" key next to the "+"/"=" key. Not the "delete" key under the "help" key or to the left of the "end" key.

[gnubler]

Thx, will try tomorrow.

[Adriano]

It works, It works
Thank you Joe
I cant believe it
I tried almost all combinations but this!
Thank you Joe
