F6: Cycle through panes (Firefox, Outlook, PowerPoint)

Posted in Microsoft Outlook, Firefox, Microsoft PowerPoint by estephen on April 18th, 2008

Whenever you have an application screen with multiple sections, try pressing F6 to cycle between them.

In Firefox, it toggles between the address bar and the web page — unless you’re viewing a web page with frames, in which case each press of F6 moves you to a different frame.
In Outlook, you can switch between the header of an e-mail (where you type the To address, Subject, etc.) and the body of the e-mail.

In PowerPoint, you’ll move between the slide, the notes, and the outline on the left.
