Mac OS X Tip: Safari Browsing & Scrolling Shortcuts

A few more keyboard shortcuts have made themselves known to me while I was browsing the Internet with Safari and playing around with the keyboard (I was randomly pressing different key combinations... don't ask me why).

Here they are:

Command+Up - scroll directly to the top most part of the page
Command+Down - scroll directly to the bottom most part of the page
Command+Left - show previous page (shortcut to browser’s back button)
Command+Right - show next page (shortcut to browser’s next button)

*Note: Command+Left and Command+Right will not work if the page you are on has an active text field (the username and password text field, for example). You have to, first, click outside the text field to make them work, but then that kind of defeats the purpose of using those shortcuts now, doesn't it?

I don't know if they'll work with other browsers, but you can try them out if you want.
