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 (~)

[FoxxFire]

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...

Love to see more advanced stuff like this.

The Option + Shift for volume control can also be used to adjust the brightness

How many of these also apply to the iPad with a keyboard

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.

thanks for the info. Really appreciate

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)

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.

Very helpful, but damn, you can't deny it's just WAY easier in Windows.

[egzsoic]

hold shift option then press the volume up or down buttons. you can control small gradations of volume this way. kind of like analog.

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.

Gorgeous keyboard and keycaps in this video's thumbnail!

[doom]

Great video, lot of shortcuts I didn't know about

[muhammednaijun]

4 keys combination for pasting without formatting?🙄

[hwjbebz]

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.

[letiziasparks]

Good Day! Also just hitting the fn button pulls up the emoji page option.😃

[staiain]

I wish it was possible to toggle HDR on and off with a hotkey like in windows

[MrRterrac]
