Hmm, yes. Tiger. To be previewed at tomorrows World Wide Developers Conference.
I don’t really care about all the new widgets (I find it quite hard to see how they can better Panther – it addressed pretty much all my concerns with Jaguar), I just hope they fix these two incredibly irritating things:
1. Safari’s URL Autocompletion.
Should go from the smallest URL visited at the site who’s address is currently being typed to the biggest, not the other way round. Duh…
2. Page Up/Page Down/Home/End
On my PowerBook, as with most laptops, in order to page up/down or go to home/end on a line, i have to use a funky key combination due to the lack of dedicated keys. This I don’t have a problem with. No, what I have a problem is that Apple can’t seem to make their mind up whether to standardise it as fn+Arrow or Command+Arrow, instead leaving it up to individual developers it seems.
Consequently you get used to doing it one way in one application, switch to another and go flying all over the page.
Here’s to hoping…
