    Niki,
    Very cool i didn’t know that!
    What is cool is I have used both of your quick tips when training other people at my job.

    Very useful… keep it up!


  2. good tips..a bit painful to listen to though.


  3. Niki,
    This is a very neat idea. Mini screencast’s for tip’s. Like it.

    Question: just out of interest, what was your process for capturing the video?

    WHat I keep doing with the ‘x’ shortcut, like for years now, is when i have text highlighted, then go to ‘x’ it, obviously the text that is highlighted end’s up as an ‘x’. Hate that. Yet keep doing it. Doh.

    I would like to give this idea a go. I have a post i keep putting off on Feedburner RSS tip, just one tip, but can’t be bothered frankly with all the screenshots. This would be a great way to go through this for like people who are new to RSS and FeedBurner example. What do you think?

  4. Thanks for the tip. I use that one a lot. Did you have a quick key to increase the stroke? It looked like you did that pretty quick.


  5. Also, hitting “D” will apply the default of white fill, black 1 point stroke to an object. Hopefully that wasn’t covered elsewhere…


  6. Great tip! This one is certainly a lifesaver!
