Was surfing the web and I saw this interesting
to share with you all.
If you are into business or a blogger like
me, you are going to love these keyboard shortcut every Mac users should Know.
But first let’s talk!
Yes, I am familiar with windows PC because
it’s what I started out with but truly, I haven’t used a Mac before… why?
Because where I’m from, windows is the most used and loved operating system :)
.
Should we start now? Then let’s go…
Command + Accent (`)
In the currently front running application,
using this shortcut will activate the next window in line in that application.
Modifying this as Command + Shift + Accent will activate the previous window in
the application.
Command + Option + A
A companion shortcut for the commonly used
Command + A shortcut for select all. Using Command + Option + A will deselect
all selected items.
Command + I
Once you have selected a file or folder, this
shortcut will quickly get the information on the file or folder that is
selected.
Command + Tab
This key combination will allow you to cycle
through open applications. Start by holding down the “command” key and pressing
“tab” to cycle through applications. Each time you press tab, it will switch to
the next application in line.
Command + Spacebar
This shortcut simply opens the spotlight
search and moves your cursor into the search bar. This is a great tool to help
you quickly get to a buried file or folder.
Command + Shift + 3
If you need to quickly take a screenshot of
your full screen, this shortcut will do that, and save it as a file on your
desktop. If you modify it as Command + Shift + Control + 3, it will save it to
the clipboard.
Command + Shift + 4
If you want to screenshot a selection from
your screen, this shortcut will give you the option to select what you want in
a box and save it as a file on your desktop. If you modify it as Command + Shift
+ Control + 4, it will save it to the clipboard.
Command + Semicolon
Use this shortcut to find all misspelled
words in a given document. By holding command and continuously hitting the
semicolon (;) it will cycle through the misspelled words. Modify this as
Command + Colon (Shift + Semicolon) to open the spelling and grammar window.
Command + F
This shortcut will find text in a document,
using a search bar functionality.
Command + H
Hide the windows of the application that is
currently running. Modify as Command + Option + H to hide windows of other
applications that are running.
Command + Z
While fairly common, this shortcut is an
important one. Use this to “undo” the previous action.
Command + Shift + Z
This shortcut operates as a “redo” functionality
to put back the last change that was undone with an “undo” function.
Command + Arrow
While working in text, use the command key
with one of the arrow keys to move the cursor to different parts of a document.
Using command with the left arrow key will move it to the beginning of the
current line, while using it with the right arrow key will move it to the end
of the current line.
Using it with the up arrow will move it to
the beginning of the document, while the down arrow will move it to the end of
the document.
Control + D
For those who may have moved from a PC to a
Mac, this shortcut will operate like the delete key on a Windows PC, deleting
the character in front of your cursor.
Option + Double-click
This shortcut opens a folder in a separate
window, while simultaneously closing the current window.
Shift + Control + Power button
If you use multiple displays, this will be
helpful, as this combination immediately puts all displays to sleep.
Command + Shift + G
When you have a finder window open, use this
shortcut to open a direct line to a specific folder. Simply put the folder path
in the space that appears and it will take you directly to the folder.
Command + Bracket
By pressing “command” and the left bracket
([) you can move to the previous folder. By pressing “command” and the right
bracket (]) you can move to the next folder.
Option + Shift + Command + V
This shortcut is a life-saver for anyone who
regularly works in Safari. This is the shortcut for “Paste and Match Style,”
which basically means you can copy and paste something without its previous
formatting.
Command + Delete
Using this shortcut will move any selected
items to the trash. Modifying this shortcut as Command + Shift + Delete will
empty the trash, and modifying it as Command + Shift + Option + Delete will
empty the trash without the confirmation dialog box.
That’s all guys
