Keyboard Shortcuts.

If you use a Mac, it's valuable to revisit this page at least once a year.

I can pretty much promise there's at least one thing here you didn't know you could do.

Yes. You, too.

Want to up your basic typing game?

Learn the text navigation commands, and your life will NEVER be the same.

You'll quickly realize you’ve been mousing around like a goddamned caveman.

I have a colleague who is appallingly knowledgable about tech in general and Macs in particular, and he just learned about `Shift–Command–?` on Tuesday.

See, it's not just for getting to "Help."

Start typing, and it's also one-click access to every menu item in your current app.

Please try it right now. Hit `Shift–Command–?` and start typing.
