Shortcuts to save you time

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.

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.
