My System

A "DUH" Moment in ICQ

I have been using ICQ routinely for about 2 years. I thought I knew all the features and tricks. But, I have complained before that there was no way for me to lean back in my chair, with my keyboard in my lap, because you have to click to send. Well, quite by accident, I found out how to do it. Tab, then Enter. Now, I know that there are prob more than a few of you who already knew this, but I didn't...and I'm feeling just as slick as snot! Now, just out of curiosity, how many of you knew that trick already? And will anybody but me ever use it?

Cheers from Ohio (at last, thawing out enough for the kids to play outside!)

I'll *see* that cool as ice and *raise* you a been using it for several years now.

Been trying to get my hubby to do it, but he still thinks he has to mouse click everything. I also use this feature when I fill in forms (the tab moves from window to window). I'm always open to new tricks, though. Glad you found this one. One day I will memorize more keyboard shortcuts and give that mouse a vacation.

OH! It's almost as cool as this one that I ran across by accident!

I already knew that you could hold down the CTRL key to highlight more than one file at a time, but by accident a friend of mine held down the SHIFT key and ended up highlighting EVERYTHING between the first and last highlighted file! This was neat and I use it all the time now. Great for dumping selected stuff in my email if I want to keep a file around a bit longer before trashing.
