[Cheat Sheet] Google+ Tipsand Shortcuts for Windowsand Mac Users

Google+ has been here for a week now. As we
are exploring it, we are finding various tricks to
add more functionality to Google+. We
discovered a Chrome extension that lets you
share Google+ posts and updates on Twitter.
We also came across an online tool using which
you can create easy to remember short URL of
Google+ Profile. Let’s now take a look at some of
the keyboard shortcuts and tips to use Google+.
Google+ Shortcuts (Works for Mac and
Windows)
Space: Scroll down
Shift+Space: Scroll up
J: Scroll down one post
K: Scroll up one post
Enter: Start comment
Google + Tips:
To write in:
Bold: *Bold*
Italics: _Italics_
Strikethrough: -Strikethrough-
You can also use a combination of all three, i.e.,
*_Bold and Italics _* In fact, these are also the common auto correct
options that are available in MS Word.
Tag people: Use + or @ before the name. You
can even tag someone who is not in your circle-
(just like twitter).
Drag and drop to share your photos and videos
– a feature similar to that in Gmail.
Edit your post after publishing: The small
arrow at the top right of the post is very useful. If
after posting an update, you realize that there has
been some mistake, you don’t have to delete it.
Just click on the arrow, it’ll give you an option to
edit your status. You can also edit your
comments after posting.
Disable reshare:This option is also available
from the small arrow at the top right of the post.
This is useful when you send a message to a
selected group of people, and you don’t want
someone from that group to share it with others.
Disable Comment:Use this feature when a post
is getting spammed with comments.
Mute others’ post to remove it from your
stream.
