From The Complete Guide to Google Wave: How to Use Google Wave
1. The drop down menu lets you add subfolders.
- Yes, added.--GinaTrapani 01:34, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
2. Two waves can be put side by side by minimising the search panel --Casebash 03:14, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
The description of the contents of Figure 6-3 is wrong; only the search box is minimized.
- Great catch, fixed.--GinaTrapani 01:38, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
Two comments:
1. On the Mac, you use command, not ctrl, to select multiple waves.
- Duh! Added. --GinaTrapani 01:41, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
2. Ctrl-7 and Ctrl-8 are not simple alignment shortcuts, and they are not the same as the alignment button on the toolbar. Rather, they switch the directionality of the text to LTR and RTL respectively. Ctrl-8 should only be used when writing RTL languages, like Hebrew or Arabic. One shouldn't use Ctrl-8 when they want to right-align English text, as it messes up punctuation. To demonstrate, start a new blip and write a sentence that ends with a period. First, align it to the right using the toolbar. See how the punctuation remains in place? Next, realign it to the left and then push Ctrl-8. The period ends up on the wrong side of the sentence. Likewise, when writing Hebrew text that needs to be left-aligned, one must first type ctrl-8 to switch to RTL mode and then choose left alignment from the toolbar.
- Wow, fantastic catch, thanks. Clarified.--GinaTrapani 01:54, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

CTRL-G doesn't work?
On Chrome and Firefox, CTRL-G performs "Find Next". I can't get it to bring up the poor-man's font color dialog. Mckoss 01:28, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
- Ah, you're right--looks like this is a Mac/Chromium-only thing. Removing, thanks. --GinaTrapani 01:57, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

- Done, sorry! --GinaTrapani 00:40, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Multiple Open Waves
When you open the 4th wave, it puts it, as you said, under the 2 waves already in the left set, and leaves a single wave on the right-hand side. Is there any way to change it so it shows 2 on the left and 2 on the right? That is, to balance the columns? ~ Nanobug 02:34, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think so, no. --GinaTrapani 00:43, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Style Error
In "Minimize, Maximize, Close Panel Buttons and the "Window Shade" Pulldown" you write: "Much like Windows on your Windows PC, Wave provides ...", only mentioning Windows and not Macs, while you have mentioned both in other parts. -- JasonMR 23:23, 12 November 2009 (UTC+10)
- Ugh that was awkward, fixed, thanks! --GinaTrapani 00:42, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Ctrl-Space
It seems that this key combination doesn't just mark all blips in the current Wave as 'Read'--it also takes you out of that Wave and into the next Wave in the Search panel that has unread content.
Then you are moved to the first unread blip in that Wave.
