Today’s post is short and Mac-centric. Learning keyboard short cuts can shave seconds off of each point and click with a mouse, making you slightly more productive with your limited browsing time. Learn them, love them, learn to love them. There are Windows and Linux friendly keyboard equivalents to many of these bindings, many replace Command with Ctrl.
I rely on Chromium to aid in my web development, and have done so for the past couple of years. Inspect element has a firebug built in effect which is hard to beat, although I haven’t done much with the console. Even though I’ve poked around with this for a while now, I picked up some great tricks from Paul’s video. If you do any web development you’ll enjoy it.
This morning I determined it was a good time to check for a new release and build for chromium. Low and behold my handy ChromiumUpdater from an old TechCrunch post or a zipped dmg failed to function. I went back to the post via a LifeHacker mention but the script was gone. It was time I dig in a little and find out precisely what the application was doing to see where it was going wrong. After all, how hard could remaking a little copy and install script be?
