Need is such a strong word.
Great video, lot of shortcuts I didn’t know about
thanks for the info. Really appreciate
Love to see more advanced stuff like this.
Nice video, but you’ve forgotten a few of the best shorcuts for browsers (Safari, Chrome, Firefox):
– switch between tabs:
Ctrl, Tab (goes to the right)
Ctrl, Shift, Tab (goes to the left)
– If you’ve up to 9 tabs in a page in browser you can quick access it by the order of them (e.g.: having youtube at the first on the left, them gmail):
Cmd + 1 (opens youtube)
Cmd + 2 (opens gmail)
…
Other very handy for working with multiples windows from an app is to quick switch between them with Cmd + ` (this tilt is right above the tab key)
Really good point! Thanks a ton for sharing!
The Option + Shift for volume control can also be used to adjust the brightness
Very helpful, but damn, you can’t deny it’s just WAY easier in Windows.
One I use a lot for looking at a group of pictures is Command Y. You can then flick between them with the left and right keys.
If you don’t want to save the screen capture, you could use (which I use every other day it seems) command+control+shift+4. That will save the screen capture to your clipboard so you could paste it. However, it won’t be saved, which is useful when you are shopping for instance and want to send a family member a quick capture of an item via messages but don’t need to save it…
You can also press control afterwards (when the cursor has already changed to capture mode), as long as you press CTRL right before you finish your selection, it will save to the clipboard instead.
This isn’t a keyboard shortcut but something really handy with screenshots: make sure to right click your screenshot on the desktop to convert the png to jpeg and save storage from something like 20 megabytes to 1 megabyte!
Do you have a document we could download with all these shortcuts on It? Or is there a list on the Mac somewhere that can be easily accessed and referenced or printed out? Thank you.
@9to5Mac Thanks
Finder: cmd-shift-. (command,shift,full stop) to reveal hidden Finder items. Yippee.
One I don’t see mentioned often enough is hold fn (function) and hit delete for forward deleting in a sentence.
One of my favorite is switching through open windows of the SAME application – not command tab (super useful!) but hold Command and then hit tilde (~)
Could you please compile it to a pdf document that I can print it out? Because I can not remember these shortcuts after watch this video, I need to practice a lot to build muscle memory.
