Best Mac shortcuts for improving your typing
Keyboard shortcuts are as fundamental to the Mac experience as the mouse.
Right from the get go, almost everyone learns the basics: copy (⌘C), paste (⌘V), cut (⌘X), undo (⌘Z), save (⌘S) and so on.
There’s no definitive list of all the macOS keyboard shortcuts, as many are specific to particular apps, but there are easily hundreds of them.
No one knows them all, but the funny thing is, once you learn a new keyboard shortcut, it almost always becomes indispensable. It’s worth the investment.
If you’re a touch typist, here are some of the best Mac keyboard shortcuts for speeding up your typing.
Also in today’s newsletter:
The next-gen M5 iPad Pro is on the horizon, and it sounds freakin’ awesome.
Uh oh, CarPlay Ultra just debuted on Aston Martin, but Apple’s superb in-dash infotainment system won’t be coming to certain automakers after all. Oh well, their loss!
I really wanted Twelve South’s folding ButterFly travel charger when it came out, but, cheapo that I am, I was put off by the high price. But it just got a permanent price drop, and the plastic version is even cheaper.
Excited about the new season of Foundation but having trouble remembering what happened? Refresh your memory with this handy recap ahead of season 3. I’m looking forward to it. Actor Lee Pace was superb as the baddie.
I have an older version of the Harman Kardon speaker in today’s featured setup, and yes, it’s a great, awesome-sounding speaker.

A few of the macOS icons I think made a solid jump to Liquid Glass.

How dare Apple promote their movie by literally printing its name on the Mac

Two new consumer AI apps are taking over the U.S. App Store - Starla and Astra (both now in the top 10)
They generate a drawing of your “soulmate”…for the price of a $14.99 subscription.
I see them as the equivalent of “looksmaxxing” for a female audience 👇

One more thing ...
You can't plan to meet the people who will change your life. It just happens. Maybe it’s random, maybe it’s fate. Either way, you can't plan for it. But you want to recognize it when it happens, and have the courage and clarity of mind to grab onto it.
