This post contains the full list of Apple (Mac) shortcuts you should know – to increase your speed while making use of it.
Today's word is being powered by ICT, with technology, you can do almost everything. Now adding speed to technology, the sky will be the limit.
Most people are very familiar with the Microsoft Windows shortcuts. Just like Microsoft, Apple also has lots of shortcuts on its keyboard.
Unlike PC keyboard, there is no Print Screen key on MacBook keyboard. This functionality is accessed by keyboard shortcuts and - on Mac - you have greater flexibility: Command + Shift + 3 - captures entire screen; Command + Shift + 4 - captures selected region. Step 4: Modify Existing Shortcuts After you're finished with the modifier keys window, click over to the Keyboard Shortcuts tab. This window used to be a big mess but these days it's organized quite nicely with basic categories on the left and the shortcuts within each category on the right.
All of the shortcut keys listed here will work in all versions of Apple Mac Operating System.
Note that you will be able to make use of the Command key in place of the Open Apple key in the shortcuts listed below for later versions of Mac OS.
