In v1.5 you could change font size by holding <command> and using the scroll wheel (<control> on Windows). As a person with so-so vision, I use this ***all the time***.
It's gone as of any of the v2 betas/RCs I've seen. I sure as heck hope they put this back for the final release! HELP!!!!
It would also be nice if all those plugins worked in the RC, but I can be patient for those.... ;)

Thanks, those keys made my day. Until now, Safari was my default browser mainly because I had the buttons in the tool bar that allowed me to increase the font size with just one tap. Now that I've discovered these Apple keys, I'm switching to Firefox. There are several websites that don't work well with Safari.Sunday, October 22 2006 @ 01:37 AM PDT

OK, so now you have to use Control + Option (Alt) + Wheel instead of Apple + Wheel for the same effect. I can't imaging any good reason for these change. Oh well.Monday, October 23 2006 @ 06:32 PM PDT

So, unlike the Anger Management candidate in the next comment, I agree that removing a working feature seems kind of dumb. However, wanted to note the Control-ScrollWheel feature silently introduced in 10.4.8. You can magnify with the scroll wheel now in CoreImage capable GPUs.Reply to This
