Shortcut Video Mac: Mastering the Power of Keyboard Shortcuts

When working on a Mac, keyboard shortcuts can be a game-changer for increasing productivity and efficiency. In this article, we'll explore some of the most useful shortcut keys that you can use in your day-to-day tasks.

One of the first things to note is that the Command key is generally located above the Tab key and to the left of the number 1. Depending on your keyboard, the character on the second key may vary. However, the Command key is a powerful tool that allows you to perform various actions.

For example, pressing Command-Grave Accent (`) will switch between the windows of the app you're currently using. If you want to switch to the next most recently used app among your open apps, simply press Command-Tab. You can also use the Space bar to preview the selected item with Quick Look.

If an app supports full-screen mode, you can enter it by pressing Control-Command-F. To show the Character Viewer and access emojis and other symbols, press Control-Command-Space bar. If you're using multiple input sources to type in different languages, these shortcuts will change your input source instead of showing Spotlight.

To perform a Spotlight search from a Finder window, press Command-Option-Space bar. You can also show or hide the Spotlight search field by pressing Command-Space bar. To close all windows of an app, press Option-Command-W, while minimizing all windows of the front app will require you to press Option-Command-M.

If you want to view the front app but hide all other apps, press Option-Command-H. You can also hide the windows of the front app by pressing Command-H. To find the previous occurrence of an item, press Shift-Command-G, while finding the next occurrence will require you to press Command-G.

In some apps, you may be able to undo and redo multiple commands. In this case, you can use Shift-Command-Z to redo a command that you previously undid. You can also use Command-V to paste the contents of the Clipboard into the current document or app.

Finally, Command-C allows you to copy the selected item to the Clipboard, while Command-X will cut the selected item and copy it to the Clipboard. By mastering these shortcut keys, you'll be able to work more efficiently and effectively on your Mac.
