Tutorial Thursday

Mac only
For me using a computer without keyboard shortcuts would be like trying to cut the grass with a pair of scissors. Sure it could be done, but it would take a lot longer to accomplish a task that should take no time at all. One thing that I’ve come to notice is that keyboard shortcuts seem even more important on a Mac than on a Windows machine.

What’s nice is that Apple has not only made it simple to edit many of the built-in keyboard shortcuts, but they also let you create your own keyboard shortcuts. Of course many of the application-specific shortcuts are terribly difficult to remember because the system-wide shortcuts have all of the easy key combinations. Since you’re able to create your own keyboard shortcuts, however, you might be able to get around that.

The first thing you’ll want to do is browse through all of the universal shortcuts that Apple has already created for the operating system, and then disable/change the ones you don’t think you’ll ever use. That way we can try to free up some of the easy to remember shortcuts for our own use later on.
