I'm a Mac user, and suspect I only use six or seven keyboard shortcuts regularly (close window, quit, new, application switch, save, copy/paste, etc).<p>I suspect we find it difficult to learn TOO many (i.e. all) shortcuts, so which are the lesser-known ones (on whichever operating system) that you think people should know?<p>For example, I just learned the incredibly useful Apple-` shortcut to switch between Windows (not Apps), e.g. for working on multiple documents.<p>Any suggestions?
When I started using a MacBook at work, I missed the Alt-Tab behavior of Windows and Linux. Alt-Tab switches to the last window that was active (and the one that was active before that, etc). There's a cheap utility for the MacOS that adds this feature. I have it bound to C-tab:<p><a href="http://manytricks.com/witch/" rel="nofollow">http://manytricks.com/witch/</a><p>You'll wonder how you lived without it!
Well, I'm not sure if these classify as lesser known, but Cocoa (that is most) text fields in Mac OS X support basic emacs bindings which I use all the time (native vim support would be even better of course, but hey..): <a href="http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/Site/System%20Bindings.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/Site/System%20Bindings.html</a> (look at the ctrl (^) bindings).
