Mac Keyboard Shortcuts and Shortcut Keys

Full video tutorial on the Mac keyboard shortcuts and shortcut keys. Works with the Macbook Pro, Macbook air and pretty much all Macs.

In this video I will show you some quick hot keys you can use to switch between apps, create new folders, hide the desktop doc and even put your Mac to sleep.

I LOVE all of your tutorials. As a former Windows [sorta-guru] user, I especially appreciate your lessons. Today my favs are the DELETE in front feature and quick SLEEP trick! Wow! However, on my Macbook Pro one of your tips works differently. To access the HELP menu, the only key stroke combo that works for me is COMMAND + SHIFT and ? Thank you!!!!

Nice show, Dan.  Really helpful. I knew a few - but not most of them.  Cheers

Hello!
Tnx for trying to help me. I asked about the keyboard differences on apples website and here is the answer I got:

Each Mac has got a different keyboard layout depending on the country they were sold. For example, the keyboard of a Swedish MacBook would be Swedish, which is different of an American MacBook that includes a US keyboard. It's normal

Also if you hit command + back arrow, it will take you to your prior page. My fav shortcut on this video is the Function+Delete, to delete in front of cursor

Thanks for your help, now I've send you a pic to your twitter

@ 1.31 When the dialogue asks you whether to empty trash or cancel, your forced to use the cursor to cancel, in windows you just simple press tab and space and it would cancel, anything of that sort in mac ? Thanks

I don't have any delete key on my new macbook air. What key should I use?

[Wallcrawler]

I knew all these shortcuts before but after someone stole my laptop back in 2013 and I've just gotten a replacement so everything is new to me. I appreciate your vid and would like to know if you know if you know the shortcut for screenshot

[MsDallia]

Sorry for this trouble, now I've sent again

[MsDallia]

No, I don't have it. They have removed it in the new macbook air.

Just got a new MacBook Pro. I'm told that the "Command" key should work like the "Ctrl" key (ex: Command+C = Copy) however it does not work. I still have to use the CTRL key. Any thoughts?

I Need Help Understanding THE SYMBOLS used in  Program shortcuts .. Like LOGIC PRo  has  an ^  .. and Arrow Up ...  where  is the ( ^ )and ( arrow up ) on the keyboard ?

Can someone please help me. My computer won't allow me to use any shortcuts using illustrator. Zoom in/out does not work at all on illustrator yet on photoshop Indesign its fine. I have taken illustrator off and replaced it back on again. Added the shortcuts manually and still nothing. Im starting to wish I didn't buy a MAC.

'Function' key? My MacBook Pro doesn't have the "Function" key you refer to.
