Introduction
Keyboard Shortcuts
This book shows you how to use the keyboard instead of your mouse to efficiently operate your Apple Macintosh computer. Different key combinations called “keyboard shortcuts” provide fast ways to initiate different actions. Utilising keyboard shortcuts allows you to move simply and quickly on your Mac.
Some Quick Theory
This book is written exclusively for Mac OS X. “Mac OS X” means Macintosh Operating System Version 10 (there were nine other versions before this one) and it is the name given to the underlying software that makes your Apple computer work.
There are two basic ways to give an instruction on your Mac. One is through pressing the keys on the keyboard and the other is by moving and clicking the mouse. This book guides you through hundreds of ways to command your Mac by pressing the keys.
Note: Using a non-standard Apple keyboard or altering your default keyboard shortcut settings may cause some keyboard shortcuts to not function correctly.
All keyboard shortcuts included in this book are current with the latest Mac operating system, OS X 10.5 Leopard.
Understanding Symbols
When you click the top menu bar on your screen, for example “File”, you will see a vertical menu drop down displaying various words and
About This Book
2 Introduction - About This Book | © Dean Pirera 2008 - All Rights Reserved
phrases. These words and phrases are commands. To the right of some of these commands are groups of symbols and characters. Two examples are “⌘O” or “⇧⌘S”.
This notation is Apple shorthand for keyboard shortcuts - each shortcut refers to a specific command.
It’s important you learn what each symbol represents so that you know which keys to press when applying a shortcut. This is further explained on later pages in this book (see Key Descriptions page 3 and Apple Keyboard Symbols table, page 9).
Included In This Guide
This meticulously compiled reference guide covers core Mac OS X applications and contains over 1,000 quick shortcuts. Keyboard shortcuts have been laid out in clear and precise information tables providing a solid framework for learning.
Descriptions of all keys are included and there is a section on accents, special characters and troubleshooting keys. Each keyboard shortcut in this book has been tested and checked.
Using keyboard shortcuts builds fast navigation skills and helps you gain confidence on your Mac. Applying even just a few of these shortcuts can save you time and money. This book will help you understand your Mac better and harness its full potential.
How to Use Mac OS X Keyboard Shortcuts is the most comprehensive shortcuts reference guide of its kind available and is highly recommended for any Mac user.

Types of Keys
There are four kinds of keys: Character keys, Modifier keys, Arrow keys, and Function keys.
The following descriptions explain these keys in detail including what the symbols marked on your Apple keyboard and within Apple file menus actually mean.
Character Keys
A character key sends a character to the computer. When the user holds down a modifier key, it alters the meaning of the character key being pressed.
Character keys include letters, numbers, punctuation, the Space Bar, and nonprinting characters Tab, Enter, Return, Delete (or Backspace), Clear, and Esc (Escape).
Space Bar
In text, pressing the Space Bar enters a space between characters.
When full keyboard access is turned on (see “Full Keyboard Navigation with Universal Access & VoiceOver” on page 22), pressing the Space Bar selects the item that currently has the keyboard navigation focus (the equivalent of clicking the mouse button).
⇥ Tab
The Tab key is used to insert a tab character when typing text. It can also advance you to the next item, window, box, option or menu within an application. You may need to test this one out to get the complete hang of it.
Key Descriptions
4 Introduction - Key Descriptions | © Dean Pirera 2008 - All Rights Reserved
⌤ Enter
The Enter key, performs almost exactly the same function as the Return key. It does have some subtle differences but these go beyond the scope of this book. See Return key.
↩ Return
Pressing the Return key moves the cursor to the next line when using any sort of text editor or processor like Mail or Word. It is also used to select the highlighted button in a dialog box menu.
⌫ Delete
This is the Backward Delete or Backspace key and on some keyboards is marked as a left pointing arrow “←” or just “delete”. This key moves the cursor one position backwards, deleting the preceding character.
Clear
Pressing the Clear button in some applications will remove the selected data. For example, in Excel, it clears the data within a cell. This button is rarely used and is not found on laptops.
⎋ Escape
The Escape key, which is marked “esc” on most keyboards, can be used to dismiss pop up windows. In many cases, pressing it does nothing. However, it can sometimes get you out of trouble by making the computer go back or escape to a previous screen.
Modifier Keys
Modifier keys alter the way other keystrokes or mouse clicks are interpreted. When the user holds down a modifier key, it alters the meaning of the character key being pressed or what the mouse does when clicked.
8 Introduction - Key Descriptions | © Dean Pirera 2008 - All Rights Reserved
⇤ Back-Tab
This is not a key. Back-tab is accessed by holding down Shift whilst pressing the Tab key. It reverses the direction of normal tabbing. See also Tab key.
Mouse Click
This is not a key. Mouse click in this book refers to the mouse button (or left button on a standard 2 button mouse).
Num Lock
The “num lock” key pertains only to laptops. This key is a toggle key and is also labelled F6.
When “num lock” is on, the embedded keypad is activated. If you look closely at the laptop keyboard you will see small numbers and symbols painted on corners of 17 of the middle-right keys.
Picture 1: laptop keyboard
Toggling A Key
A toggle key is any key which turns a specific function on or off by pressing it once. “num lock” and “caps lock” are examples of toggle keys. When a toggle key is pressed on, a green light called a led usually appears on or near that key indicating that its function is active. When pressed again the led switches off and that key’s function is deactivated.
