Keyboard-only Mac Cheatsheet

Hi, I'm Lorna and I don't use a mouse. I have had RSI issues since a bad workstation setup at work in 2006. I've tried a number of extra hardware modifications but what works best for me is to use the keyboard and only the keyboard, so I'm in a good position and never reaching for anything else (except my coffee cup!). I rather unwisely took a job which required me to use a mac (I've been a linux user until now and also had the ability to choose my tools carefully) so here is my cheatsheet of the apps, tricks and keyboard shortcuts I'm using, mostly for my own reference. Since keyboard-only use is also great for productivity, you may also find some of these ideas useful, in which case at least something good has come of this :)

Apps List

There's more detail on a few of these apps but here is a quick overview of the tools I've installed and found helpful

To set this up, paste the code below into the "location" of a bookmark. Make sure it starts with "javascript:", some browsers strip this out when you paste.

1. Find the "name" of each form element you want to put data into. You can find the "name" by right clicking on the form box and "inspecting" it.
2. By using a spreadsheet, create a set of urls with the data you want to input. Example: variablename1 is the "name" of the form field. "value1" is the value you want to put into the box.www.website.com/page.html?variablename1=value1&variablename2=value23. Navigate to that custom URL4. Click the bookmarklet. Voila!
