Why

---

I wanted to switch to Safari for a while to benefit from their html5 support

and smooth animations, etc. However, when I switched, I ran into nothing but

pain. I guess I never realized how much I relied on ⌘1, ⌘2, ⌘3, etc... for

tab navigation.

While trying out Safari, I was constantly pressing ⌘1, ⌘2, ⌘3 and Safari kept

navigating to apple.com, yahoo.com, and the like -- losing whatever was in my

current tab.

Frustrated by the experience, and still inclined to give Safari a try, I dove

into the world of Applescripts to fix this little problem.

Note

----

On my journey to reclaim ⌘1, I really wanted to find a native way to map

keyboard shortcuts to Applescripts, unfortunately, that is easier said than

done, and it seems everyone out there writing applescripts is using some

third party application to map their keyboard shortcuts. Although, if you

know of a way to do this, please let me know!

The one I -- and many others -- have settled upon is FastScripts

[http://www.red-sweater.com/fastscripts/][1]. Don't worry, it's free for the first

10 keyboard shortcuts, and I only mapped ⌘1-5, so you'll still have 5 more

shortcuts available.
