Mac OSX hot keys that will make you more productive

Mac OSX hot key combos that will make you more productive

First off you need to know the key symbols associated with each key β˜€οΈ

Special Mac Keys 🍎

Key name Key symbol
command ⌘
shift ⇧
option/alt βŒ₯
control βŒƒ
caps lock β‡ͺ

With memory being so cheap these days, it is not uncommon to have 2-10 programs open at once. To quickly toggle between open programs use:

  • ⌘ tab

Once you are in the program you want, you can quickly toggle between tabs in that program by using:

  • βŒƒ tab

There are many diverse combinations that will do just about anything on a macintosh, but I just included the two that have made me the most productive. For an exhaustive list of hot key combinations visit macrumors.com
