Handy keyboard shortcuts cheat sheet


i made neat little cheat sheet of handy keyboard shortcuts if you're new os x, may find useful, if you're more of keyboard person mouse person ;-) note: mouse hints magic mouse.

document ms word, because i'm not familiar pages (yet?), fiddly layout gets messed when open in pages or libreoffice, i've attached picture well.
--------------
other keyboard shortcuts i've noted down on past month or of getting familiar os x - i'm sure they're covered elsewhere, fwiw, found these useful:
  • command + tab switches between apps, , if add shift, goes in reverse, within current app, can use command + ` switch between app's windows. luckily, moving between browser tabs same everywhere: control + tab.
  • if switch between views in finder often, might find command + 1 icon view, , command + 2 list view, etc. useful.
  • command + info window of file.
  • command + f find (in finder), can pretty complex searches!
  • control+command + d dictionary.
  • holding down option gives more options, e.g. when click on or start app.
lastly, keep in mind can create new shortcuts in preferences > keyboard shortcuts:
select app, type menu item text, , assign shortcut key combination (use opt+; type "...")
 

attached files:

ugh, hate term 'cheat sheet'. these consistent, programmed shortcut keys improve productivity, not 'hacks' or hidden features.

anyway, enough of that. add few ...

cmd+q quit app - usefully next cmd+tab, can navigate , close open apps.
ctrl , arrow key - trackpad gestures. horizontal arrows swipe between multiple desktops, arrow open mission control.
cmd+spacebar open spotlight.
cmd+w close window
cmd+t open new tab
cmd+n open new window

ones use.
