OmniOutliner: Spacebar for mouseless dropdown selection
Merlin Mann | Feb 3 2006
Speaking of R'ing TFM, OmniGroup's crackerjack techs responded almost immediately to my recent "feature request" that I be able to select items from OmniOutliner dropdown menus without using the mouse. Already there. Just hit In other news, the new unofficial motto of 43 Folders is going to be “The only truly obvious things are those things that you already know. (And, regrettably, not everyone is you yet.)” 10 Comments

After much frustration trying out what seemed to me to be the obvious keys for triggering dropdown selection, I finally resorted to RTFM as well. Sadly, I didn't think to share my discovery. Shame on me for forgetting the maxim: "When in doubt, flood Merlin's inbox with every damn thing that comes into your awareness." :P IIRC, the actual manual didn't have the tidbit about the spacebar and dropdowns, but the online help did. The manual seemed much more geared toward novice users. NewNewsWire takes this a step further and relies entirely on the online help. The lack of a comprehensive and linear (so online help doesn't really cut it) reference is a problem for those of us who want to really tap into the power of the apps we use. I can't find a feature in the online help if I don't know it exists in the first place. The only way to see every nook and cranny is to read or at least skim the docs from start to finish. » POSTED IN:
