Great shortcut, thanks! | Oct 7, 2008 |
Faster than a mouse wheel, and works better than PgUp/PgDown. | | |

Didn't know the trick to scroll up | Oct 7, 2008 |
Scroll down is Space and has been for a long time, but Shift-Space is new to me. Thanks! | |

Thanks, Chris I wasn't aware of this shortcut, very useful. I've trying to use more shortcuts and less mouse and I do work faster now. Andrea | | |
Goodbye tediousness | Oct 7, 2008 |
This is the best, I should say "these are the best" shortcuts I've ever learned. Goodbye to the tediousness of roll, roll, roll, click, click, click. You made my day! | |

Do yourselves a favour and check out his newsletter on the URL I posted at the top. Independent business and technical information concerning the localisation industry and translation profession. Peppered with useful advice. I'd be surprised if you did not appreciate it. Cheers Chris | | |
Also with pdf :-)) | Nov 12, 2008 |
Just out of curiosity I tried it with Foxit Reader and it's working! Probably also with Acrobat Reader but I don't use that one so it's up to someone else to have a taste of success there Charlotte | | |
