I have seen on the Windows version you refresh by hitting F5. I have looked at the keyboard shortcuts on the wiki page. I can't seem to find a way or any place that says how to refresh the home page on the Mac version of Logos.
Anyone know?
The same way: F5. [:)]
um nope. i tried that (some what obvious) lol
i'm on a MacBook, if that makes a difference.
If you click the blue icon that looks like a house in the upper left hand portion of the screen twice does that do it?
Are you meaning the upper left? The Home Page icon next to the Library icon?
That seems to reload the Home page, not refresh it. Meaning it makes the Home page disappear and reappear, but does not refresh the content itself.
I found it!!
Its the 'Fn' button + F5
So, I'm new to Mac. What's the 'Fn' button???
I found it!! Its the 'Fn' button + F5
Ah! I'm on a desktop and have never had a Fn key. F5 works fine for me! [:)]
Yeah I think the 'fn' button was created for mini keyboards like on a MacBook, etc.
Basically it is a "function' button to compensate for the smaller size without losing any functionality of the larger keyboard.
Thanks for your help fgh
That's if you are using a MacBook, the Fn button enables the normal [F]unction key operation for the lower number function keys, otherwise pressing [F5] will do something like [on this MacBook I'm using] volume up.
On a desktop Mac I'm thinking it will be just plain [F5]
Thanks! I'm on a desktop Mac. No wonder I couldn't find it. I'm learning!
I'm learning!
You're learning faster than me! [:)] I've been on Mac for 19 years, and I only learnt about the existence of this Fn key a couple of weeks ago... On this forum, in fact. But then, as I said, I've always been on desktops.
Wiki page has keyboard image with fn key (lower left) => http://wiki.logos.com/Logos_4_Keyboard_Shortcuts_For_Mac along with some general Mac OS X shortcuts that use fn. Also updated Wiki page to add F5 refresh along with Float and Dock this panel.
Keep Smiling [:)]
F5 does indeed work on a desktop Mac. However, on my Apple Extended Keyboard some F keys are dual-function (F1–4, 13–19). For those, the Fn key activates the alternate actions (volume, brightness, etc.). My keyboard is about 3.5–4 years old.
