  1. On 10.4.2 F5 will do the same. I didn't know about the alt + escape, but I think I like that better... also if you are in an app that does not use the escape key for something app specific, you can just hit escape key, no option key required.

  2. Thanks for the extra info Mike!

  3. Similarly, you can do a quick correction of a misspelled word by control clicking the word and then a list of suggested corrections come up. I use that sucker almost everyday.
