You don't need the mouse for this one
Space Bar
I'm not a big fan of keyboard shortcuts. There are a million of them out there and my poor brain can only remember a few. But this keyboard shortcut is so easy to remember and so useful that you are really missing out if you aren't using it.



To scroll down a web page in Safari, just hit the Space Bar. One tap of the Space Bar will move you down a full screen. Keep tapping until you get to the bottom of the web page.

If you've got the space in your brain for one more, try this— Shift-Space will take you UP one full screen in Safari. Perfect if you overshoot your destination on the page or just need to refer up the page.

Try it now to get to the bottom of the this page.

Here are a couple of related tips:

Great tip and not only for Safari - also works fine in Firefox (as do Cmd-L / Opt-Cmd-F from earlier tip)
