Best MacBook Keyboard Shortcuts for Productivity!

The compliment I receive the most at work - other than my charming smile 😉 - is how I'm able to navigate my work laptop almost entirely using my keyboard. In this video, I share the Best Keyboard Shortcuts for Productivity that you can (and should) use as a student or working professional!

⌨️ Learning little-known, rarely used, keyboard shortcuts is not very helpful. So not only do I go through common (i.e. impactful) Mac keyboard shortcuts application across platforms, but also app-specific ones in Gmail, Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Chrome!

Getting used to these keyboard combinations should take a week or less and once you're familiar with all the shortcuts from how to hyperlink to add rows and columns in Google Sheets, you'll be impressing your colleagues in no time with these seemingly crazy computer hacks and tricks 🤯

For Windows users, I recommend Windows Logo Key + (Any number) to open apps pinned to your taskbar in that specific order.
For example, I have my File Explorer pinned to the Taskbar first (right next to the search button) so I just press Win + 1 to open my Files app.

Alt + Tab = Switching between apps
Ctrl + Pg Up/Down = Switch between browser tabs
Win + Tab = Open Task View
Ctrl + Shift + N = Create New Folder in File Explorer/Desktop
Fn + F2 = Rename a selected File/Folder
Win + L = Lock your PC

All these are for Windows users 👆 Thank me later
Peace.

Wow, Jeff you’re doing it again, this video is amazing! My favorite is at 2:11 CMD+SHIFT+V where I’ve literally for had to copy paste text to a text editor and from their copy again to get rid of the HTML formatting and finally paste to the document. This one tip alone will save me a ton of time. Also amazed by the video editing, the 2 picture-in-picture with the top-view of keyboard along with the keystrokes are amazing! 😆

I always watch Jeff's video when I am getting ready in the morning....then have to watch over and over again to practice in front of my laptop later in the helpful

At the end of the video, I can only remmber L for laser for Google Slides 😂

I am sure there is a special area called 'shortcuts' inside Jeff's brain

我低头默默看了一眼我的键盘，它可能不配叫键盘🤣

And nice shirt!

Seriously these shortcuts are LIFE CHANGING. I've already tried a couple of them and they worked so well. TYSM for making this video, Jeff!

[IsraelLucasSousaSilva]

Love the details in this: the email subjects according to the command you're showing. Thanks for the tips!

[hedges]

Dude great video. Your energy and delivery of the topic are on point!

[haronysierra]

Oh my 🤯! This is a whole new world I'm really enjoying getting into.

[sharankapadia]

Awesome - I like to think that this one was inspired by my shortcuts video 😉😍

[alisonyew]

I love it. I used to use shortcuts back in the day on DOS when we only had keys and the space bar - no mouse. Since the age of mouse I thought people are happy enough to navigate with using a mouse.

[orlandoneto]

Honestly, your videos helped me save so much time and be so more efficient at work, I cannot even describe it! Thank you so much. I can't wait for the next one!

[cutepinky]

Thanks Jeff for these tips! You have been killing it on your videos!

[baievertebagscompany]

[krisC]

I've utilized the Stream Deck for many of your Inbox Zero shortcuts. Now will do the same with many of these. Thanks again, Jeff
