"or how to switch by keyboard from ChatZilla to another window in the parent application (SeaMonkey, Firefox)..."

Cmd (or Ctrl) + tab isn't it? Also, one of the Expose hotkeys (F10?) is a 'windows in a parent application' expose only.

To switch windows in an application, hit CMD-`. The workaround for end of line is CMD-arrow. I don't have any historical background for this.

Probably not what you're looking for, but you can use Expose for keyboard window switching. Press F10, then use the cursors to select the window to switch to, then press enter.

switching between windows is done with command-` (backquote, bottom left of your keyboard)

You can get to the end of a textbox or textarea line by pressing Ctrl+Right or Cmd+Right, depending on the application. In most single-line textboxes that do not support autocomplete, the Down arrow key also takes you to the end.

Use Cmd+Left and Right for Home/End like functionality, and Cmd+` or F10 to switch between windows of a parent app.

On macs with an apple keyboard you hit the "Apple" (clover, or-whatever-you-call-it) button with Arrow-Right, that will jump to the end of a line.

As you're using a mini I suppose you're using a PC keyboard aswell, perhaps Windows key-> Arrow Right will do the same thing ;-)

(From Alex: Nope. As I was once going to blog but never did, the keyboard/mouse I had for my PC was PS/2-compatible...)

Well... I think I can help with the end key:

Command-rightarrow will jump the cursor to the end of the line (this has been standard Mac OS text-field behaviour since forever ago). For what it's worth, Option-Fwd/Back will go forward or back one word boundary, and Command-Up or Command-Down will jump to the very top or very bottom of the text.

Most Mac apps allow Command-` to switch among open windows within the app; if Seamonkey or Fx don't do this, you should file a bug...and then fix it ;)

Try ctrl+a/ctrl+e or cmd+left/right arrows.

Cmd+(Shift)+~ cycles between the windows of the active application.

Command-< I think! :-)

Switching between windows within a single application is done using command and ` (tilde key). As a reasonably recent switcher from Windows I am still not really sure about Apple's use of the End key. But Command and the Left and Right arrow keys do the same job.

i think command + ` will do that for you.

See this http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75459

Now if only I could figure out the other little details, like why the "end" button doesn't take me to the end of a textbox line... or how to switch by keyboard from ChatZilla to another window in the parent application (SeaMonkey, Firefox)...

Cmd-` (i.e. one key above cmd-tab) cycles through all open windows in the current application. And sometimes just using F10 and the mouse ends up being faster. There are also 3rd party utilities you can get that will yield a more Windows-ey cmd-tab.

Home and end drove me nuts for a while. I still think they're kind of perverse. You pretty much just have to get used to using either cmd-arrowkeys or ctrl-a/ctrl-e.

Welll...

just to be a tad different from all of the above.

In Seamonkey you're happy with these keys:

Command + 1 = Browser
Command + 2 = Mails & News
Command + 4 = Composer
Command + 5 = Address Book
Command 6 = Chatzilla

You got the same behaviour with Cntrl in Windows or Linux.

This has the advantage of opening the app if it isn't yet opened. The down side is that you don't change between browser windows (well... I use just one, for what more than this?), between mail composer and Mails, etc.

You can type Cmd+? or "Help Key" while in Seamonkey to see the help. The topic "SeaMonkey Keyboard Shortcuts" tell the right MacOS shortcuts .
