Ever run into QuickTime movies in your net adventures? Sure you have! QuickTime is Apple's standard multimedia player, generally associated with .MOV files -- though it's multi-talented these days. For you keyboard buffs, there are a few shortcuts you might wish to take note of if you frequent QuickTime. For starters, the spacebar or ENTER key will play/pause a clip, though there's always CTRL + . (period) to pause the show as well. Making use of the arrow keys, right and left will step forward or backward respectively, and CTRL + right/left causes the clip to play forward or backward. Up and down arrows affect the volume and finally, CTRL + 0/1/2/3 will proceed to resize the display window from half size (CTRL + 0) all the way up to full screen (CTRL + 3). That'll make QuickTime even quicker!
