Keyboard access to your top ten

,


Keyboard tip:
Do you get a lot of use out of your top ten list and lean heavy on the keyboard like I do? Here's a quick shortcut to navigate amongst your top ten with your keyboard.

Ok- now Add an entry to your keyboard shortcuts (see below if you don't know how), I used "alt t" to activate mine (NOTE: I HIDE MY MENU BAR! So I don't care about missing the "tools" menu, you may want something else, otherewise alt-t will interfere with that):

t alt           Show popup menu, "Internal Popular List"



Now, when you activate it, you get:

You also get the bonus of using numbers in addition to the arrows arrows to select an item from the list. And don't forget! You can open them in background tabs by using ctrl-shift-enter (or foreground by justing ctrl-enter...and it works with mouse click instead of "enter"). However, these options don't work if you use the numbers to make your selection (ie: "ctrl-shift-8" doesn't do anything)

I was turned on to this by the fact that I saw the numbers underlined and thought "well, if I can't activate the top10 with the keyboard, why would I want to pick from the list with it?"
