Url Tips

COLLECTING URLS WITH GO TO You can copy and paste a URL.... while on the website, you use your "go to" feature and put the cursor on "show Current" which will fill in the GO TO box. Then you would hold down your CMD key and hit the A and C keys. That puts the URL into your memory. Now you can paste it where you want, on an email or website by holding down the CMD key and LIGHTLY TAP the V key. MULTIPLE URLS? Is it possible, with the use of the "go to" feature, to capture more than one URL in the box at the same time? I would then like to cut and paste all of them _at one time_ to an Email! Yes … it's possible to capture more than one URL, at a time. Don't know how many … but, I've done as many as 32, at a time. Here's how … Copy & cut the first URL. Bring up the next one. Place a comma, at the end of it … leave a space. Paste the first one. Copy & cut those two. Repeat … till you've got 'em all. Copy, cut & paste, to your e-mail. There are other methods, but Tyhart's instructions are easy to follow: http://www.wtv-zone.com/tyhart/tytutes/harvest.html Thanks "Tyhart" ANOTHER USE Let me tell you another fantastic use of the "Go To" key. Let's say you're visiting a site, and see some text which you would like to quote elsewhere. But you would also like to "take" the URL with you when you go. Use c/c/p to copy the text first, then press the Go To key. When the popup comes up, click on "Show Current." The URL will be displayed in the box. Now, press the spacebar once, then use CMD + V to "paste" the copied text into the box, right along with the URL. You can now use CMD + A, then CMD+C to copy BOTH the URL, AND the pasted text which came from that webpage. Now, you can go to any "Write" screen, such as email or posting to a newsgroup, and use CMD+V to paste the info to the Write screen. The URL will be pasted first, but you can always use c/c/p once again to "edit" and place the URL _after_ the quoted text. As Always, Tex URL AT BOTTOM I have seen this in posts. But _how_ is it done? The posts I'm talking about have a paragraph or 2 from the site in question. The post has the URL pasted at the bottom. Once the text is copied into the buffer _how_ do you snatch the URL _without_ deleting the previous text?? The Very Savvy Saverio wrote: 1. Go to article, Use Find to highlight first few words of the passage you want, then highlight [shift + arrow or Scroll keys] and copy [Cmd-c] the part you want 2. Press GoTo, Show Current; Cmd-left arrow to position cursor to left of URL; add a few spaces as desired 3. Cmd-v to paste text to left of URL 4. Press Return; you will get an error message, but this will store the URL 5. Later, when on page to post, press GoTo, Show Last, Cmd-a, Cmd-c to copy 6. Insert text with Cmd-v; you will need to add paragraph spacing with Returns, as everything will be "bunched up" from being in the GoTo buffer. (Only nitpick, for me it's easier to use cmd A, C instead of return at step 4 so that all info is copied into memory. Then just go to posting page and cmd V.) |
