The keyboard is your friend.
I know for one I’ve become very accustomed to using my mouse quite a bit, and it’s very handy. The question really becomes is it always the best tool for the job? I remember being cable enough to get around Windows 3.1 without need of a mouse, but I’m not sure I could say the same about XP. There are times knowing the keyboard shortcuts has been necessary and others it’s quicker & easier than grabbing the mouse. I’m going to try to re-acclimate to using the keyboard more especially since I’ve learned about some of the features in the software I use or learned of new software.
Shortcuts:
Google Calendar, Mail, and Reader
Firefox
Windows XP
Helpful Software:
Launchy
Texter
Other Great Info:
LH: Keyword Bookmarking
LH: Mouseless Firefox
LH: Supercharged GmailThis Bookmarklet
I’ve posted these as they either are tools I use or apply to them. If you have any helpful tips or links for things you use regularly please share them in the comments.
I am using Google Reader a lot, so some of the keyboard shortcuts might come in handy. Thanks!
