Keyboard Shortcuts
Saturday, February 21, 2009
In order to navigate your Macintosh faster, adopt the keyboard shortcuts it has. And trust me there are LOTS!
Firstly, you should know that...Control is DIFFERENT from Command. Command is the "ctrl" key in Windows.
Visit
this page to see a full list.
Here I will list some of my favourites:
- Command - H
This allows you to hide all windows of the application you are in. You can reopen these windows by simply clicking on the application's icon in the dock.
- Command - Shift - 3
This takes a screenshot of your entire screen - Command - Shift - 4
This allows you make a selection of what you want to screenshot. This is so useful for tutorial writers like me! - Control - Click (on trackpad)
When my 2 finger clicking doesn't listen to me, this allows me to right click.
