Safari with Tabs (v62 - v71)

[Cat]

But they have! ... I mean, you have all kinds of clicks: ctrl-clicks, alt-clicks, CMD-clicks, etc. Mostly ctrl-click corresponds to right-clicks. Apple does simply take another approach to the use of a pointing device like a mouse, preferring keyboard-mouse combo's where others use a plethora of mouse buttons. I'm quite curious about the relation of multiple mouse buttons to RSI...

BTW what is essntailly the problem? That Apple doesn't produce a beauty of a two-button mouse like the pro-mouse? Or that you have the enormous hassle of buying a multi-button mouse?

At one point, Apple's promotional materials bragged "Apple's mouse has only one button, so it's very hard to click the wrong one" -- promoting simplicity as a selling point. I still think it may have some value to newbies, but the truth is that there are a lot of things that are easier to do with a 2nd button (and the alternative is a lot of two-handed ctrl-clicking and so forth.)

yep, this thread has hit rock bottom when it turns to discussing the number of mouse buttons.

but i don't agree twister - i think beginners find the one button mouse much easier. maybe it would help switchers, but again, somethings are just best left for people to buy. if they included 2 buttons, then people would bicker over the shape, size, etc. (like they already do over the one button )

Anyway, about them inverted tabs -- anyone think being able to optionally put them below the content area might be worthwhile?

Oh good idea brianleahy!

Ohh and ed. If we hit rock buttom we can only go up from here!

I still thought the little hockey puck mouse was the most ergonomic for myself. If they could have made that wireless and optical it would have been perfect. I think that was the only mouse I had ever used that after 2 hours of use my wrists didn't hurt.

But back to this topic, tabs shouldn't be on the bottom since we would have way to much wrist movement which may lead to carpal tunnel. I wish Apple would just send me a waiver as well as the government that says I will not sue them due to my using a keyboard or mouse. I just bought my girlfriend a logitech and in huge bold letters on the front it says "WARNING USE OF KEYBOARDS MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH" If a company has purposeful intent to harm that is one thing but with technology or new products or even drugs there is a chance that it may cause adverse side effects. For every action there will be an opposite reaction....

Well, by that reasoning, the Dock has GOT to go.....

Why has the Dock 'got to go'? Ok, you cannot place it at the top of your screen, but you have the option for left and right. If it really bugs you there are haxies to give more functions to the Apple menu.
