Ban that mouse! Stumbleupon shortcuts are king
One of my pet obsessions at the moment, besides Pidgin and chat bots, are keyboard shortcuts. Not only does it make me faster and more efficient at computer tasks but a lot of browser & toolbar features can be disabled because there are keyboard equivalents. One prime example is Stumbleupon.
If you have the Stumbleupon toolbar installed, there is a feature in the options which allows you to set up keyboard shortcuts. Shortcuts are already pre-programmed but you can do what I did and re-program them to the way you want them :
Just insert your preferred keyboard combo for each action in the “press new shortcut key” field then press the “change” button. The “toggle toolbar” one is also a good one because now you can hide the toolbar and bring it out only when you need it, thereby giving yourself some extra space on the screen.
Using the keyboard shortcuts actually allows you to stumble MUCH faster. Just keep your finger on the keys and keep clicking your way through until you find a site you like. Suddenly you may find yourself a power stumbler!
