You know, for so call advance user we don’t like to use mouse click so frequent. I used to Windows keyboard shortcut in Firefox, Windows operation, music, movie player, etc. Fast and convenient after familiarize with these shortcuts.

I am experimenting Mac OS X on Intel PC. It is hard for Windows user to use keyboard shortcut in Mac OS X. I have use computer for more than 10 years but first time in Mac OS X. All shortcuts combination I used in Windows totally not working in Mac! I am newbie in Mac.

10 Basics Mac OS Keyboard Shortcut

I did search in Google and Digg. Lots of complete list come out as result on screen. Impossible for me to memorize all.

I recompile the 10 Basics keyboard shortcuts every Mac user should know. I know these may too basic for you. Please add more in comments if you think I should know.

• CMD-C : Copy
• CMD-V : Paste
• Windows-` : Switch between same Application
• F11 - Hide all windows
• F9 - Show all windows
• F12 - Open/Close Dashboard
• CMD-H – Hide application
• CMD-Q – Quit application
• CMD-Shift-D – Open Desktop
• CMD-F – Search term in Web browser

CMD button refer to ALT key in Windows keyboard. ALT-Tab only switch between different application in Mac OS. To switch between same application, then use “Windows-`” combination. You need to define the Windows key as Option key in keyboard settings.

I always press the wrong key in Mac OS. I thought CTRL key is the CMD key during copy, paste and search. Need more time to get use to it.

PS: 200+ Mac keyboard shortcuts here. Still searching for shortcut to lock screen. Any idea?

Share and Enjoy
