The Orange Arrow

Word count: 1340

I just wanted to blog for a moment to say how stunningly convenient the orange arrow is in Safari. It’s called SnapBack (see the SnapBack movie), and it’s even more useful than shift-command-left/right arrow for switching tabs. Just click the orange arrow and you’ll be returned to the page where you started. This is great for reading a multipage article and then snapping back to the first page to grab the correct link. Since I open new links in new tabs one SnapBack is all I need, but you can also mark more pages to snap back to (using the History menu).

I had heard that the small-caps support was supposed to be added to Panther, but I’m still not seeing them.
