Nice List! When you are in any finder window is there a hotkey to get the the spotlight window in finder if you already have it open?
Reply | Back to Top
Wendy
Dethklok,
Since Spotlight window is considered Finder, so you can first go to your Finder using Cmd-Tab (36) and then inside Finder, you can use Cmd-Single Quote['] (56) to switch to Spotlight window.
All,
Thanks for the compliments. Also, I'm really pleased knowing that this article has become useful for you all.

Why do all of these lists miss the most important shortcut for windows switchers: Cmd-O replaces the Enter key in the FInder. Is is used to launch applications, open folders, etc... It took me forever to find this one simple shortcut, still these lists miss this one.

Thanks! I'm shortcut addict and there were many in your list I did not know about! Do you know if there are universal shortcuts for New Note and New ToDo, being able to call for them at any time would be super. Something like "Shift+Command+Y" that automatically copies selected text and paste it in to Stickies...I'm trying to replace Stickies with Notes and ToDo.

Just as a added bit to the spaces one CTRL + anyone of Left key, right key, down key, up key will change the space that you are currently on.

command, control, D no longer produces word definition on my late 2007 MacBook running Leopard as factory install. Does anyone know of a new keyboard shortcut? I know control, click will produce drop down with loo up in dictionary option; but this is an extra step compared to previous dictionary availability.

Marshall, it's because command + down does the same thing.
Reply | Back to Top
Dmitry Chestnykh
Marshall, you better use Cmd+Up/Down in Finder – Cmd+Down will launch applications.
Reply | Back to Top
Wendy
Marshall and other window switchers,
I'm really sorry to not include Cmd-O because, as ZugZug says, we can replace that with Cmd-Down Arrow (67) and I believe that it's easier to navigate with that.
Steen,
I don't know any universal shortcut for New Note and New ToDo. However, you can close your Mail first with Cmd-W so when you activating your Mail to call up the New Note or New ToDo, the application only changes your menu bar and won't affect your current active window.
Truckee,
I've never faced this problem before, I'm sorry I cannot help you much.

Hello, I'm new on Mac's too. Is there a shortcut or a tip to launch Finder's window at anytime like "window"+E on MS Windows. For now, I click on the desktop and press cmd+N. Thank you for this great list.

Tnx Wendy, I can live with that workround or maybe I could trigger New Note and New ToDo with some kind of universal scrip using automator...just checking Automator and there is a New ToDo but nothing for a New Note. Ghandi, Opt+Cmd+Space launches "Advanced" Spotlight and by doing that you will have your Finder window. Cool. And if you create an universal shortcut for Zoom (Shift+Cmd+Z usually works fine) you can trim your Finder (All) window to present content. BTW the Zoom command is the same as clicking the mysterious Green button in your windows upper left corner it's a fast way to get correct size on a window and is not an Minimize, Maximize feature as in Windows.

Check this for Dock: Hover over an icon, press cmd-spacebar and click on an application-icon. Now the Finder will show the application in a new Finder-window at it's actual spot.

cmd + X in Mail deletes a message completely (not to the trash first). I use that a lot. Also Cmd + X works in the finder as "cut" command for a selected file (and you can paste = cmd + V, later to move it).

On a Dutch website, http://www.onemorething.nl, we're trying to figger out how to select a button in, for example, a popup message box. Like when prompted by Mail.app... Save this message as a draft? [Don't save] [Cancel] [Save] ...then how to select the Save button without using the mouse? Note that System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts > Full keyboard access, offers one the choice between "Text boxes and lists only" (the default) and "All controls". The latter will indeed make the Tab key walk through ALL controls, which obviously not only applies to message boxes. This makes using some applications actually a bit harder, like described in the help from Mail.app: The full keyboard access settings affect how you navigate Mail. For example, if you select “Text boxes and lists only,” repeatedly pressing the Tab key in a new message window moves the pointer through the address and subject fields in the header, then to the text field of the message, skipping over the Customize Header menu and other controls that you’ve added to the message header. If you select “All controls,” tabbing through a new message window will include selecting each menu and control in the header so that you can operate them using the keyboard. For more information about full keyboard access, choose Help > Mac Help in the finder and search for “full keyboard access.”

If Command-Control-D no longer works as the shortcut for Dictionary: Open System Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts and change "Look up in dictionary" to whatever you wish. I have mine set to an F-key.

In OS9 to set the PowerBook to sleep, (even with PGP Screen Lock on), I could press the powerkey once (maybe twice) until I hear a beep, then press Command-S to sleep. If no screen lock, the one press of Power key and Command-S selects "Sleep" from the choice of 4 options in the dialogue box. In Leopard on a G4 iBook, I cannot use the keyboard to choose sleep as far as I can tell. Is the answer in Universal access perhaps?

Hi, I'm wondering how I can add a universal shortcut for Zoom a finder window. Could you describe in details? Thanks,
Reply | Back to Top
Steen
Chaz, to add an universal shortcut: Go to System Preferences (the Apple in your upper left corner) then to Keyboard & Mouse and select Keyboard Shortcuts. Under the list-view press the "+" icon. In the appearing dialog select that this shortcut should apply in "All Applications" then in the text-field enter the command you want to be executed, in this case "Zoom". In the text-field for "Keyboard Shortcut" press, on your keyboard, the shortcut combination you want. A lot of people are using Shift+Command+Z for Zoom but you can enter what ever you want but be careful so you don't over-riding another useful shortcut. To see your newly created shortcut just scroll down the list and you see a bar dividing the list. Under that divider you will se all your created shortcuts. Hope this was helpful.

Thanks to everyone who replied to my complaint about the Cmd + o option. The Cmd + Down seems to be another method of doing this HOWEVER...this list STILL does not tell a switcher how to do the equivalent of pressing Enter on an icon in the Finder/Explorer

Palahala: So, say we have a window with [don't save], [cancel], and [save]. Return hits saves, spacebar hits Don't save, and escape hits cancel. I hope that helps. This is pretty standard with most of these types of dialogue boxes.

When taking a snapshot, where do the photos go? What folder are they in?

Vitality,
the photos will go to your Desktop. However, if you snap it to the clipboard, it's the same as you're doing copy-n-paste with your snap as the copied item :)
CRM,
They're huge version of icons in Leopard to fulfill the coverflow view mode requirement ;)
