Mac 101: Navigating Safari Tabs

This tab infor was great for a new Mac user.

How do I ask a new question?

i like using all-in-one mouse gestureas for firefox.

simply hold right button. then move mouse to the right to close tab.

to change tab hold right button then use scroll wheel.

Another way to Open a folder of bookmarks into separate tabs make a simple click on the bookmark folder (it's not necessarily make a Control-click and select a menu)

You forgot to add that you can close a tab by pressing Command W... for me it's much easier than trying to click the little x in the corner of the tab but you do have to be careful because Command W is quite close to Command Q!

I'd like to simplify cycling through tabs by making the key combination Command-Right Arrow and Command-Left Arrow but I can't figure out how to do this through keyboard preferences. I can't find the correct Menu Title to use before I assign the key combination. I thought Select Next Tab and Select Previous Tab might do the trick but it doesn't. Can someone walk me through it? Thanks.

If you're bothered so much by her posts, why do you keep reading them? Oh, that's right, they keep on appearing on TUAW. Then why do you keep reading it? I'm sure it wouldn't hurt you to stop reading this blog. And I'm absolutely sure that it won't hurt this blog if one more ranting commenter stopped reading the blog. It'd be so much better that way.

I was wondering if there is a way to have safari working like firefox when closing a tab.
On firefox all i have to do to open a tab is middle click on a link and then a middle click on the tab (in the tab bar) close it. The first action works in safari, but the second doesn't, is there a way to have it working ?
It's really the only thing that keeps me away of safari :(

Thanks for any help :)

Jordan, there is nothing "somewhat tongue-in-cheek" about a comment like your "Writing shitty posts".

Anyway, we can't mind-read your intentions. If you don't mean something seriously, then make it obvious! Otherwise, (as is the case here) people have no choice but to think you're serious and to take you to task for such offensive and unfounded remarks.

easiest thing for safari AND camino is to set up your own custom keyboard shortcuts int he keyboard preference pane. i am trying very hard to switch from firefox to safari, but it is difficult. however, i switched my shortcuts to command+~ and shift+command+~, which is almost the same as FF. plus it is a one hand thing so i can keep my hand on the mouse! (same goes for camino)

What about Camino? I've tried just about everything while playing around to see if I could cycle through tabs. I'm just wondering due to the fact that its a little newer in builds. But I don't know, just hoping any other user can help me out. Thanks
