- dgblackout, on 10/12/2007, -20/+43no thanks, i like secure operating systems.
- supermanred, on 10/12/2007, -13/+32Thanks! This will come in handy for my new macbook!
Is there a keyboard shortcut for "remove Vista partition, resize osx partition to take over complete drive and return vista for refund?
Now that one would come in handy for me!
Anyone want to buy a used copy of Vista Home Premium? Installed only twice on a macbook. - tastyterrorist, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Startup

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75459 - RaffyG2000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13a cool one for macbooks (not listed here i think):
ctrl + two-finger scroll with the trackpad = zoom in and out - NewChar, on 10/12/2007, -2/+14"For quality carpets, visit Kaplan's carpet warehouse!"
- Ulvund, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Horrible response time now.
His guide to surviving_the_digg_effect is now obsolete. - mikev, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11IMO one of the best things about OS X is you can navigate completely and comfortably with the keyboard. On Windows it feels awkward to hold control/alt w/f4. :|
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6For on the fly keyboard shortcuts, KeyQue is the way to go.
- kolywater, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5how about Command-L while in a browser focuses the URL field?
no one ever includes that one but without it i'd probably shoot myself. works in safari, firefox, omniweb, and camino (maybe others - i haven't used others). - OutlawSamurai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Complete guide? Hardly. Basic start? Yes.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I think some people took it as a challenge and DOS-ed the server. :)
- directedition, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Only problem for me is when using Blender which is hot-key heavy and sometimes conflicts with OSX.
- pscytzo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3There's a correction to be made.......
* "Press Option-Command-Shift-Delete during startup" = Bypass primary startup volume and seek a different startup volume (such as a CD or external disk)
OR
Press Option
It will get you the same exact result and you won't have to be a contortionist in order to hit the keystrokes, just FYI...... - Stelex, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7A few more here http://www.silvermac.com/mac-os-x-keyboard-shortcuts/
- erictheninja, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3and the Apple Human Interface Keyboard Quick References page
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/XHIGKeyboardShortcuts/chapter_20_section_1.html - atlex2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3 screen-reversal-goth mode!!!
ctrl-option-(apple)-8
4 sure works on macbook
crazy *****!!! - EBFoxbat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Fn + delete ....oh thank god. I'm embarrassed to say how long I looked for that.
- Murdats, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5I use windows almsot primarily with the keyboard (except for browsing and games) and I have no problems at all. the only OS ive found more keyboard friendly is a highly customised setup of linux configured to operate purely with hotkeys.
- nandabanaotakun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Or you could just set up a Quicksilver shortcut for current application menu items...
- kolywater, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2actually, if you press ctrl-f2 to focus the menu bar, you can navigate using letters instead of arrows. for example, to get to the "history" menu, just start typing "hi," then hit enter, then start typing the name of the command, hit enter. you don't have to use the arrow keys.
so, for your example of trying to get to formulas the command sequence is:
ctrl-f2
i
o
f
now you're in the forumla menu under objects under insert. also, you can change the hotkey in the keyboard prefs. i've set option-M to be my menu bar focus since i use it all the time. - Asin, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Sorry for the comment abuse. Google Cache:
http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:NkNg666NLsUJ:creativebits.org/keyboard_shortcuts_in_os_x&strip=1 - CoheedRock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2In all seriousness, I always needed to know this. I use shortcuts about 30% of the time, but this will make me use them a lot more. This is great!
- zakharm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4i use the xCuts dashboard widget for reference:
http://www.musingsfrommars.org/downloads/widgets/ - surfing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I just got a Mac Mini at home, so this would probably be useful for me if the page was up.
How do select a block of text, like in the address bar of a browser? In Windows, if I want to delete everything to the right of .com I just hold down the [Shift] key and press the [End] key. How could I accomplish this with the keyboard? - pscytzo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Press Command + Right arrow + Shift
I'm originally a PC boy, and yes, that annoys me that home and End don't work the same in browsers. - ActionableMango, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Every now and then there is a dialog box in OS X that doesn't allow keyboard use. For example, deleting a podcast in iTunes. It throws me off every time.
- fani, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2by the time you get to your mouse off the keyboard ( after typing an email or url say ) and get to the next action, with shortcuts, you'd be long done with your actions.
When you get good at keyboard shortcuts, you find that you're more productive and certain actions you can do extremely quickly without even glancing at the keyboard. This saves time and time is money and precious..
but each to their own... - Goldspink, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I really wish there was a keyboard shortcut for Login Window, i.e. a lock computer shortcut like Windows+L in XP. So much easier when you have to escape from your desk and you are already on your feet.
- fani, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They're missing an extremely useful one -
Control-Option-Command-Eject = Immediately shutdown the Mac.
I use this all the time. On MacPro Laptops you have to hold them down for about 1 sec for it to kick in. - edwardg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If you press ctrl and use the scroll wheel on any other mac it works too.
- cctoronto05, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1uh, I think coconut was being dry (as in sarcastic)...
- boogie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1How do you select a different startup-disk (Opt-Cmd-Shift-Delete = Seeks a different startup volume) on a laptop like the Macbook (pro) which hasn't got the Delete-key? Backspace?
- surfing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thanks
- NoFunBradley, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I heart shortkeys.
- deadbaby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1CTRL + Scroll Zoom has gotta be the greatest combo ever. I dunno how I ever lived without this before.
- thespacepope, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@boogie:
macs don't have backspace keys :-)
The key you're thinking of is labeled "delete" on Apple keyboards. - silvalynin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1wow...that timer completely screwed up my edit. Digg that down..
@tgoose
Command+"~" (key above tab) will switch between multiple windows of the same application. Command+Tab to switch between windows of different applications...once you get used to it, you realize it's more efficient.
@Goldspink
While not as quick as Window's CTRL+L, you could try the following if you haven't already..
Go to your Applications folder, open up Keychain Access, go to Preferences, and check "Show Status in Menu Bar." Now you'll be able to click the little lock on the Menu Bar and select "Lock Screen." So it's only 2 clicks...almost as simple as it is on Windows. - blizzaga, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0You can also use Ctrl+A instead of the Home key and Ctrl+E instead of the End key (in most OSX applications). Not really intuitive, but at least it follows a "standard" that also exists in several Unix applications.
- silvalynin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@tgoose
Command+"~" (key above tab)
Lets you switch between multiple windows of one application. Command+Tab = switch between different programs windows. Once you get used to it, you realize it's actually more efficient.. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How, then, to switch between windows on Preview? As in ctrl-tab in pretty much any application on Linux or Windows. It's possible in Safari and Pro Tools under OS X but I've not found any standardised way of doing it. I'm not saying there isn't one, but it's pretty damn hard to find if there is.
- amadeusdemarzi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I PDF'd it for anyone interested
http://www.skeemo.us/distribute/OSXKeyboardShortcuts.pdf - Issimmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0On safari you can hit cmd-[number] and it will go to the corresponding bookmark. Makes visiting digg, yahoo and others easy. I don't know if this works outside safari though.
- ikeenen, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Boooo!
