How often do you find yourself copying & pasting URLs from within Safari into Mail.app or other emailer such as Microsoft Entourage?

Wouldn’t it be nice to actually send them the webpage?

Well you can!

in Safari, simply type Command-I when in the desired page, and hey presto your now in your email client showing the page in the new mail window.

neat eh?

Nice Tidy Screenshots

Friday, March 27th, 2009

We all know that Command-Shift-3 will screenshot your entire screen and that Command-Shift-4 will turn your pointer into cross hairs so you can draw a box around the desired area don’t we?

The problem is that often using the Command-Shift-4 method you end up with a few pixels on unwanted image & you then need to crop them down in either Preview, or other image editor such as Adobe Photoshop.

Most of the time I want to screenshot entire windows. If you type Command-Option-4 but the press the space bar your pointer should then turn into a camera, click on the desired window and you get a nice tidy image of the entire window.

NB this applies to Leopard users only
