Unlock the full potential of the Wii browser
We'll tell you up front that by "full potential" we mean "decently handy shortcuts". We're dramatic like that, but only because we're so excited about browsing!
If you never used the Opera browser on the PC, you may not be aware of the unique "mouse gestures" it employs. Moving your mouse in a certain pattern, or clicking the mouse buttons, can act as shortcuts for frequent tasks like back, forward, and reload. The Wii browser works in much the same way, with certain Wiimote button combinations mapped to browser tasks. Here's the full (known) list of Wiimote shortcuts:
B+ D-pad up: Refresh
B+ D-pad down: Bookmarks
B+ D-pad left: Search
B+ D-pad right: Enter new address
B+ (-) : Back
B+ (+): Forward
They may not be "hidden" (they're in the manual) but it's apparent that many users don't know about these functions. And we're happy to do anything to help you refreshWii Fanboymorequickly.
