I was a windows user for… well, ever since I started using a computer. Then I got side-saddled with a mac. Then I looked up some mac keyboard shortcuts. Then I got used to the idea of typing “command”-key rather than “control”-key and FINALLY figured out that it was easier to press the “command” button with the thumb rather than with the pinkie.
Then I started using all of these shortcuts:
1) Taking a Screenshot
- shift-command-4
2) Opening up Chrome Developer Tools
- option-command-j
3) Scrolling left, right, up, or down a page without the use of a mouse
- swipe with two fingers simultaneously on the mousepad!
4) Right-click
- hold down the ‘control’ key (located right near the command key) while clicking (okay, this was the only shortcut that took me an embarrassingly long while to figure out before I realized I could stop needing an external mouse…)
… Anyway, work on the computer has never been more fun now. The mac loads instantly in 2 seconds, whereas it took more than 30 seconds for my [admittedly kind-of-old PC] to load.
