If you've been running Butler for a while, you won't have a few items that the new versions come with, such as a Wikipedia search engine ready to use.

You can set it up so that you can either type in your search terms or have it perform a search on the text that is currently in the Clipboard.

To type the search terms:

1. Add the search engine:

Open your Butler configuration window, click on 'Engines'.
Command-N to create a new search engine. It will default to show you the Prefix and Suffix fields on the right side.
In the Prefix field, paste this line:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=

In the Suffix field, enter this:
&go=Go

Name the engine whatever you like, I went with 'Wiki'.

2. Create the Web Search interface:

Check out the new 'Recommended Macintosh Software' list, a comprehensive listing of useful applications that play well together.

It will be updated as often as we discover new software worth checking out, so post a comment on the list or email us to let us know of anything you think should be added.

These are all programs I install on a fresh OS X system. They all seem to operate independently without any conflicts, but anything can happen with software. Current system is OS X 10.4.2.

These so-called 'immediate essentials' include powerful multitalented utilities like Butler, and 'hacks' to OS X like making hidden files visible as a systemwide default.

Modifier Keys:

Command: The Command key, identified by the cloverleaf symbol () and Apple logo () also used to be known as the 'Open Apple' key.

First off, go to the View menu and select both the 'Status Bar' and 'Text Size' items. The status bar is at the bottom of each page, and will help you see what type of link you're clicking on, usually with a description of what type of action, if any, the window will take.
The text size of the page you are reading can always be enlarged from the keyboard (Command-Plus and Command-Minus; covered in more detail here) but it's always a nice option to have in the Safari toolbar.

Next, choose 'Preferences' from the Safari menu and select 'Tabbed Browsing.' Check the box needed to enable tabbed browsing. You may wish to use Panther's Keyboard & Mouse Preference Pane to modify the keyboard shortcuts for the Next Tab and Previous Tab commands to something more convenient than the default Command-Shift Right Arrow/Left Arrow.
