What may or may not be obvious to the average iPhone user is that you can make a desktop/homescreen icon out of web pages that you view in Safari. So for instance a favorite site that you visit every day, or your own blog, or whatever you want to have one click access to, can be available via desktop shortcut - just like it can on your regular pc desktop.
Where this comes in particularly handy is in the case of google apps, and even more specifically Google Tasks. You first need to get the Google mobile app (free) from the app store. Launch that, log in, and click on apps at the bottom (it defaults to search). A lengthy list of apps will display including tasks. Click on that to open the tasks web app. (I personally think it's even slicker on the iPhone than the desktop version.) Anyway, once it's open just hit the plus sign at the bottom of the window, and select the option to Add to Home Screen. An icon like this will appear on the desktop of your phone.
Now you have a one-click solution to a tasks app that you can also view & use in gmail and on your igoogle home page. For me it's a very handy way to manage the many things I try to keep track of. There are definitely more elegant task applications available for the iPhone (free and paid) but none as wide in reach and convenience.

Our short cuts for the tRev Tabs are now more in compliance with established browser behavior and also with Rev's native script editor. Please note that the escape key still works to close tabs, but upon closing the last tab that is also an Object Browser, tRev switches back to the wonderful Revolution 4.0 (if you haven't got it, try to get it!).
Command+n still works to create a new tab (which is also an Object Browser).
Seit ein paar Tagen benutze ich Google Wave. Es ist fühlt sich am Anfang etwas schwammig an. Aber mit ein paar Tastenkombinationen, die man sich schnell merken kann, fühlt es sich gleich viel besser an.
Return: Antwort auf den ausgewählten Blip Shift-Return: "Diskussion fortsetzen" Platziert einen Blip an das Ende der aktuellen Einrückungsebene. Shift-return im Schreibmodus: Schreibmodus beenden (quasi "Done") Ctrl+e: ausgewählten Blip editieren Mit den Cursor-Tasten kann man von Blip zu Blip springen und mit Space zum nächsten ungelesenen Blip springen. Egal ob in der aktuellen wave oder in einer anderen. Ist er in einer Anderen wird erst die Wave ausgewählt und durch nochmaliges drücken der Space-Taste öffnet die Wave und springt darin zum ersten ungelesen Blip usw.. Das sind wohl so die wichtigsten Tastenkombinationen für den Anfang.
Windows 7 adds loads of great shortcuts for switching between apps, moving windows around your screen, moving them to another monitor altogether, and much more. Here's a quick-reference master list of the best new Windows 7 shortcuts.
We're nuts for keyboard shortcuts here at Lifehacker, and Windows 7 brings a handful of great new ones to add to your muscle memory. It's also got a few handy mouse-based shortcuts you'd do well to add to your repertoire. So let's get shortcuttin'.
Window Management Shortcuts
One of the best changes in Windows 7 is the ability to "snap" windows to the side of the screen, maximize them by dragging to the top of the screen, or even move them to another monitor with a shortcut key. Check out the video for a demonstration of how some of the keys work. The full list of keyboard shortcuts includes:
Win+Home: Clear all but the active window.
Win+Space: All windows become transparent so you can see through to the desktop.
Win+Up arrow: Maximize the active window.
Shift+Win+Up arrow: Maximize the active window vertically.
Win+Down arrow: Minimize the window/Restore the window if it's maximized.
Win+Left/Right arrows: Dock the window to each side of the monitor.
Shift+Win+Left/Right arrows: Move the window to the monitor on the left or right.
You can also interact with windows by dragging them with the mouse:
Drag window to the top: Maximize
Drag window left/right: Dock the window to fill half of the screen.
Shake window back/forth: Minimize everything but the current window.
In Windows 7, using the Windows key along with the numbers 1-9 will let you interact with the applications pinned to the taskbar in those positions – for example, the Windows key + 4 combination would launch Outlook in this example, or Win+Alt+4 can be used to get quick access to the Outlook Jump List from the keyboard.
You can use any of these shortcut combinations to launch the applications in their respective position on the taskbar, or more:
Win+number (1-9): Starts the application pinned to the taskbar in that position, or switches to that program.
Shift+Win+number (1-9): Starts a new instance of the application pinned to the taskbar in that position.
Ctrl+Win+number (1-9): Cycles through open windows for the application pinned to the taskbar is that position.
Alt+Win+number (1-9): Opens the Jump List for the application pinned to the taskbar.
Win+T: Focus and scroll through items on the taskbar.
Win+B: Focuses the System Tray icons
In addition, you can interact with the taskbar using your mouse and a modifier key:
Shift+Click on a taskbar button: Open a program or quickly open another instance of a program.
Ctrl+Shift+Click on a taskbar button: Open a program as an administrator.
Shift+Right-click on a taskbar button: Show the window menu for the program (like XP does).
Shift+Right-click on a grouped taskbar button: Show the window menu for the group.
Ctrl+Click on a grouped taskbar button: Cycle through the windows of the group.
More Useful Hotkeys You Should Know
The new hotkey goodness didn't stop with the taskbar and moving windows around—one of the best new hotkeys in Windows 7 is the fact that you can create a new folder with a hotkey. Just open up any Windows Explorer window, hit the Ctrl+Shift+N shortcut key sequence, and you'll be rewarded with a shiny "New Folder" ready for you to rename.
Here's a few more interesting hotkeys for you:
Ctrl+Shift+N: Creates a new folder in Windows Explorer.
Alt+Up: Goes up a folder level in Windows Explorer.
Alt+P: Toggles the preview pane in Windows Explorer.
Shift+Right-Click on a file: Adds Copy as Path, which copies the path of a file to the clipboard.
The bash shell is got some nice key bindings that are of great use when you just get familiar with those. When you are an emacs user, you will find these bindings so emacs-intrinsic. These key bindings are configured through bind command that defines how readline is interpreted. In case if you are interested to know the current key bindings, type "bind -P or bind -p", which would give you the key bindings list. Here there are few easy to remember, yet sophisticated key bindings:
M stands for meta key (ALT)
C-a - Move to the beginning of the line
C-e - Move to the end of the line
C-f, C-b - Move one char forward and backward respectively
M-f, M-b - Move one word forward and backward respectively
C-l - Clear the screen
C-r, C-R - Search command history backward
M-backspace, C-u - Delete the whole thing you just types
C-k - Delete forward from cursor
C-t - Transpose chars
M-t - Transpose words
M-u - uppercase the chars from cursor
M-l - lowercase the chars from cursor
M-c - Capitalize the
C-/ - Undo
C-p, C-n - Recall previous/next commands from history
M-< - Beginning of history
M-< - End of history
More info available in man pages of readline, set and bind. Peteris Krumnis had compiled nice cheat sheets on bash+vi and bash+emacs.
