macOS Keyboard Shortcuts
Before we cover actual keyboard shortcuts, in case you didn't know, in OS X there's a master list of shortcuts that can be found in the System Preferences. To find it:
- Go to the System Preferences and choose “Keyboard.”
- In the “Shortcuts” tab, go through the sections on the left to turn on or off the shortcuts you want to use.
- Optional: While we don't recommend it, should you prefer it, here you can also set F keys to work as function keys primarily (instead of the default for brightness, Mission Control, music playback, etc). Within the Keyboard settings, in the “Keyboard” tab, check the box 'Use F keys as standard function keys.'
Edit/Add a Shortcut
