Safari | Alt-click to download files

Safari icon

In Safari, if you hold the ALT key when clicking a link, the linked file will download rather than displaying in the browser window.

This is handy if someone directs you to files to download from the web, like this image file:

You could click the link to open the image in your browser, then drag and drop it on your desktop, but if there are a lot of files to download that can be tedious. Instead, you can hold the ALT key and click all the links, and all the files will download to your Desktop.
