Favorite Key shortcut

[Danster]

Well the title speaks for itself, I feel like posting a stupid but discusive thread

My favorite Keyboard shortcut is cmd+Tab because when I'v got multiple windows and need to get to the one at the back, sure it's easy to hit F9

(as i just did when trying to hit the 9 key but hit F9 and still typed away but was typing nothing )

but cmd+ tab then tab then tab got the prog i want at the back then click the safari which is underneath the now active program

Yes I know i'm stupid but what's yours?

I suppose from years of working in programs such as Quark and creating stuff on My Mac's; my most used and possibly in a perverse way my favourites are "cmd S" and "cmd Q" and "power key...return"

in essence "Save", "Quit" "turn off" .......pub !


There are so many, they are certainly my OS 9 "keys", I will have to think of my favourite OS X "keys"

Just to resurrect an old thread...


This is not technically a favourite key...just the opposite.

I like the fact that on my laptop I can turn 'off' the caps key...handy when typing, for some reason I always seem to accidently catch it.

Hi there and welcome !

there are various shortcuts for all programs...there is a general list here.

If you look at the menu's when using the mouse pointer then you will see little symbols next to a lot of the items these are the 'shortcuts'...
