Command + 'F'
20 December 08 - Back
I have recently discovered the Command + F keys (to find on the Mac). I knew of a few applications that made use of this function. However, I now realised this function exists in almost every application I know. I now use it all the time. One application is the Safari Browser. when I search for a term in Google and then I get a page consisting of lots of articles I used to have trouble finding the information that I was seeking. The find function solves the problem.
The most useful situation is using the find function in Dreamweaver (or probably any other web creation tool). Instead of searching down a long list of CSS names in a style sheet I now can use the magic find tool. I’m now saving lots of time using this method. Although I still believe it’s important to keep structure to the stylesheet as keeping similar CSS rules together helps deal with design issues
I found a little tip for this the other day. In your stylesheet section off the various divs and then in the comments give it the relevant name but also add an equals sign beforehand. It lets you find things instantly.
