This simple tip was actually sent to us by TUAW reader Zoli Honig. It works on my MacBook Pro, and I a ume other portables: if you hold the option key while pre ing any of the F-key shortcuts for di lay brightne , keyboard brightne or audio volume settings, System Preferences will open and take you straight to the relevant preference pane. I don't know if this is Mac OS X Tiger only, and I don't have desktop machine to test with, so if you're still on Panther or using some kind of desktop Mac, feel free to share whether this tip works on your machines in the comments.
