For the last couple of months I have been struggling with the keyboard of my beloved MacBook Pro. How often did I click on "
Show Keyboard Viewer"? And it still didn't really help on the long run. Today I did some respective "research", and here are the links:
Some of those shortcuts, that I really love now on my Snow Leopard MacBook:
- "cycle through open … windows of the current desktop" resp. "switch focus to the next/previous window (without dialog)": Ctrl+F4 or Cmd+` (that's the Grave accent key).
- "show / hide desktop": F11
Today I also screen dumped my the Keyboard Viewer window, printed it a couple of times, and scribbled all the other uses of a key (
together with fn, Control, Alt, Command) on it. This will seriously help me learning how to find brackets, curly braces
(that I need for perl and ruby), the tilde
(that I need for Portuguese and in a shell command line) far sooner.
Update / 2010-06-22:
Yes, on OS X at
System Preferences / Keyboard / Keyboard Shortcuts, this is where a lot of nice shortcuts get listed.
