Option-Click in Scroll Bars for Jump Scrolling

In Mac OS X in general, and thus in most native Mac OS X applications, hold down the Option key and click anywhere in a window's scroll bar to jump to that spot (rather than scrolling one screen). If you like this behavior, you can make it the default in the Appearance preference pane. For "Click in the scroll bar to:" select "Jump to here."

by Adam C. Engst Send Email to Author

BBEdit Moves to 4.5.3 -- Bare Bones Software last week released a free updater for BBEdit 4.5, the commercial version of the company's popular text and HTML editor. The 4.5.3 update offers improvements to BBEdit's built-in FTP capabilities and Find Differences functionality, plus a number of minor bug fixes. It's either a 2.7 MB (BinHex) or 1.9 MB (MacBinary) download. [ACE]
