About the Links
Some blue text in this book is hot, meaning you can click (or tap) it, just like a link on the Web. Some links, like the “Device Advice” link just above, take you to a Web page. Other links go to a different part of the book.
If you click a link that takes you to a different part of the book, you can return quickly to your previous spot if your ebook reader offers a “back” feature.
For example, if you use iBooks to read the EPUB version of this book, click the “Back to” link at the lower left. Or, if you use Preview on the Mac to read the PDF version, choose Go > Back or press Command-[.
What’s New in Version 1.2
Along with correcting a few typos, this new version includes these changes:
In New! Pin Your Go-to Sites I’ve provided a clarification that pinned tabs don’t sync to other devices, and I’ve added a tip with a reference for Web developers about creating a custom icon for a site’s pinned tab.
I’ve inserted a new sidebar, New! Use a Keyword Phrase, about how to trigger dictation with a voice “keyword” command.
A new topic, Create a Command, steps you through making your own basic dictation commands.
A new topic, Activate a Workflow, describes how to use new built-in dictation workflows in El Capitan.
