Hi Paul, Option-Return is just a variation of the regular Mac OS X shortcut for "Option-Click" to force downloading on a highlighted link. I'll point you to two locations to read more about finding out more about Safari Shortcuts. One is a link to my archived post of two years ago, where I answered Mike Busboom, who asked the same question that you asked about Option-Return: • "TIP: How to use Help and Google Searching to learn about your Mac [was Re: Latest article on using the Mac from the Braille Monitor]" http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg11063.html
Note that in that article, if you point your browser to: file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Shortcuts.html in order to view the internal list of shortcuts within your own Safari application bundle, that you may have to copy the link (Command-C), then use Command-L and paste the link (Command-V) into your Safari address bar, then press Return. A second good source is the web page list of Safari shortcuts that Doug Lawlor has been working on: http://www.douglawlor.com/safari-keyboard-reference HTH.
