MAC TREAT #119: Become a Friend of the Right-Click in 10.6
I love, love, LOVE my Magic Mouse. But that’s another article. My Magic Mouse is set to use the right-click as a secondary button, as many mice are apt to do, and the real topic of discussion is addition of some extras in the right-click context menu.
In 10.6, there are far more options than 10.5 in several applications. Let’s use TextEdit, for example.
Among others, you can use the context menu to select Transformations to change the capitalization of your text. This is so handy (pardon the pun) to have at your fingertips if you like quick ways to edit text. You may also import an image or capture a selection from your screen!
These options (and dozens of others) are available in several native applications.
In Mail, quick menus for Substitutions along with Transformations, Import… and Capture… have been added to the helpful shortcuts for Spelling and Grammar, Font and Speech. Note that “Writing Direction” has been renamed “Paragraph Direction”, since it really just pertains to justifying text.
